Even if you are one of those who love the sun, there are surely times when there is too much happiness. When you feel that you are slowly turning into a crisp straight from the oven, the awning and the shading panel attached to it can help. It is in the production of the latter that a new Polish brand specializes in - HappySun.pl. A modern awning for a motorhome or caravan is usually a fabric canopy pulled out of the cassette, which allows you to create a barrier between the red-hot sky and our heads. Below, we can place chairs, a table and rest in the shade ...

It has been known for a long time that the Silesian Voivodeship is not only mines and gray-tinted landscapes, yet common opinions still make the region uninteresting in terms of tourism. And wrongly - it may not have as many attractive places as, for example, Masuria or the Sudetes, but it is enough to spend even a few days in it to find out that it has its charm. What can we see interesting in Silesia? There are quite a few old towns in the province that are worth visiting. The historic part can be proud of, among others Częstochowa, Cieszyn, Pszczyna and Gliwice, as well as Rybnik, Żory and Bielsko-Biała. Those who like castles should visit Lubliniec, Będzin, Olsztyn near Częstochowa or Podzamcze near Ogrodzieniec. Supporters of sacred tourism will surely visit the Jasna Góra Monastery, but during a trip around Silesia , they can also visit the basilicas in Pszów and Piekary Śląskie or the sanctuary in Turza Śląska. People who love history and culture can follow the Wooden Architecture Trail , including over 90 historic buildings, ranging from chapels, through forester's lodges and taverns, to bell towers. While in Gliwice, tourists often direct their steps to the Piast Castle, as well as to ul. Tarnogórska, where there is a wooden broadcasting tower entered on the list of Historical Monuments - the Gliwice radio station . It is the tallest existing wooden structure in Europe and the tallest wooden broadcasting tower in the world (111 m).

Mountain enduro paths, forest trails, night city, camping. We checked, and in literally all conditions, how the new Fenix model BC21R works. I got the flashlight for testing on Wednesday - it was a good thing, because Wednesday is our "statutory" day for night enduro driving. The crew had an appointment, so I only confirmed my presence. Immediately, I thought - I will not have time to do the test while driving the enduro, because I will not have time to recharge the battery! It turned out that I was on time - full charging took only 2.5 hours , which is much shorter than in the heavy flashlights we use every day. This is the first big plus.

Based on your sentiments, you can create a pretty good business. Americans know this and very often use their passion to create something new, but aimed at people who want to feel the atmosphere of the old days. In the case of Relic trailers, the abandoned vision was combined with a fresh approach to the subject. The Relic trailer is a bit like a cross between a road cruiser and a boat or maybe a space capsule. The vehicle looks phenomenal and if it appeared, for example, in Hel, it would immediately become a sensation among tourists, and in the cucumber season it would probably be on the front pages of local newspapers. But even in the USA, where everything has already been seen, such a vehicle must arouse keen interest - especially since it is available in subdued colors.

The statistics are terrifying. In 2016, 3,026 people died on Polish roads. This is as much as 88 people more than last year. But for many of us, dry statistics do not appeal to us. That is why the National Road Safety Council prepared a special action. Statistics are just numbers, and these don't make a special impression on us anymore. However, let us imagine that an entire small town is lost as a result of the catastrophe. Mothers, fathers, children, grandmothers, grandparents ... Every year, the entire town with a population of three thousand is swept away from the surface of Poland. But this is not the result of a catastrophe beyond our control - it is the result of our often reckless behavior.

You can say a lot about Cahors, depending on what attractions of this small French town you want to focus on. It is located in the bend of the Lot River, on the southern edge of the Central Massif. It is an important center of religious tourism - it is located on the pilgrimage route to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, on the way of St. James. It is also known for the Roman baths and the historic Valentré Bridge, the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Devil's Bridge". However, he was famous not for the monuments, but for the vineyards, but rather the wines produced there, whose color is so deep purple that in the past they were called "black wines" from Cahors.

Veneto is a very diverse region. We can find there mountains, the sea, the amazing Lake Garda, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world - Venice. In this region, there are also remarkable, excellent for health, euganic baths waiting for us. The north-eastern part of Italy, where Veneto is located, is a region very rich in attractions, especially because of the charming and romantic cities of Venice, Verona and Padua . In addition, this area is famous for its delicious cuisine and excellent wine . It is willingly visited by people looking for sandy, clean beaches and by climbing enthusiasts. However, not everyone knows that Veneto is also great thermal baths that were already appreciated by the ancient Romans.

Perhaps traveling with a caravan is not very comfortable, but once we reach our destination, we can enjoy more spaciousness than in most motorhomes. This will also be the case with the Sterckeman Alize Trend series trailers. Despite the German-sounding name, Sterckeman belongs to the French group Trigano . And Alize Trend is the top model of this brand. This year, the design of the trailer has been even more modernized. We will not go into technical details, but we are dealing here with GRP materials, and GRP reinforcement, and XPS foam insulation. It can therefore be assumed that the vehicle will serve us in very good condition for many years. In terms of design, you can mainly attach to the brakes, which do not have a self-adjusting system .

South Tyrol is another name for the Province of Bolzano, with the status of an autonomous province, with the right to two official languages, Italian and German, equal to each other and taught in schools. This dualism is visible, for example, in in architecture, culture or in the kitchen. The provincial capital, Bolzano, is much more Austrian than Italian. Due to the large tourist traffic and high level of agricultural development, South Tyrol is one of the richest areas in Italy. Together with the other province, Trento, it forms the great region of Trentino-South Tyrol.

In the last week of July, thanks to the courtesy of Rafał Bieżuński - the exclusive distributor of Caretta trailers on the Polish market, I had the opportunity to test the Off Road off-road model. We traveled with two adults and a two-year-old child. We spent seven nights in the trailer at two different campsites and drove 400 km on different (Polish) roads, which allowed us to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the trailer. Small tear drop trailers are particularly close to my heart. I have a similar trailer and have been traveling with it for two years. I believe that a small and, above all, light trailer, especially in combination with a small bus, is the perfect set. In the article below I will try to present my subjective opinion about this Caretta Off Road model, but also to present the advantages of traveling with such a small trailer, based on my own two-year experience. We wrote about this trailer in February 2017, when the first model appeared in Poland - you can read the article here: Caretta Off Road now also in Poland .
