It was a cloudy morning, cold piercing down to the bones. We sat down in a saucer in Warszawa Powiśle and while waiting for a portion of well-done scrambled eggs, Igor threw at me, still sleepy, that he would like to go somewhere longer. Get to know yourself and the way. I looked over my cup of coffee and told him about the idea of closing the loop around the Baltic Sea. This is how the story about the OFF_Riders project and where it came from "With panache by Lofoten" begins with one of the group members - Piotr.

Tuscany is the "heart of Italy" - a region whose landscape and unique culture have charmed many. Tuscany is impossible not to love. It is enough to look at the hills stretching to the horizon, covered with hundreds of small vineyards, which at sunset "light up" in front of our eyes with a real madness of colors. The tiny towns emerging from the morning mists are one of the most romantic paintings you can see in Italy. And of course, the places on the map that Tuscany is famous for all over the world: Florence , Pisa and Siena - three cities that are bursting at the seams with world-class monuments. These three reasons: picturesque landscapes, traditional towns and "cities of art" will make every holiday in Tuscany an unforgettable experience. But where to start getting to know this amazing region? The answer is obvious: from Florence, the capital of the region. A city that loves art and beauty like no other in the world is a real dream. Let's start our visit to Florence from the symbol of this city - the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore , which rises towards the sky, showing the amazing richness of Renaissance decorations. It is easy to understand why this city attracts artists to this day. From the cathedral, it is worth taking a walk to Giotto's Bell Tower, and then reaching the top to admire the entire panorama of the city. From here, it is only a five-minute walk to reach the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio - the former town hall, famous for its numerous decorations and frescoes on the walls. Interestingly, it was in front of the main entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio that stood "David" - one of the most famous sculptures by Michelangelo. Today, a faithful replica of it stands in this place.

In the Provencal Alps, at the confluence of two beautiful valleys, there is a French town with a Spanish-sounding name and architecture with distinct Mexican accents. This is Barcelonnette, which has numerous ski resorts as its neighbors, and itself tempts with something completely different - a specific atmosphere, the possibility of blissful relaxation or active time spent among pristine Alpine nature. "Barcelonnette", naturally, is associated with Barcelona and is translated as a diminutive of its name. In terms of architecture, however, it does not resemble much the center famous for the Sagrada Familia temple or residential buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi (including Casa Batlló, Casa Vicens). The city owes its name to the fact that Ramon Berenguer IV, who founded it in the 13th century, was also the ruler of the seat of Catalonia. Barcelonnette is surrounded by Alpine peaks, the largest of which, Grand Berard, rises above the horizon north of the city. On the other side, the sky is decorated with Le Chapeau de Gendarme, considered the most picturesque of all the peaks that cast a shadow over the valleys of the Ubaye River and its tributary, the Bachelard. The town is beautifully situated on the flat bottom of the valley, and a little higher, in the background, there are pastures and meadows. Between them, small hamlets nestled in the landscape, looking as if time had stopped there for at least half a century. Even higher, the areas are covered with pine forests, and above them you can see the mountain peaks, jagged like the edges of a cordon handkerchief. What could be a more relaxing sight, what better place to holiday in the Alps than a campsite in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region ?.

What to see during a weekend trip to the city of canals?. Venice is a one-of-a-kind city. The dense network of canals, estimated at 150, creates a unique atmosphere that attracts travelers from all over the world to a holiday in Veneto . The city with an area of 412 km2 also has its own unique history, dating back to 452, when it was founded by the Venetian tribe. In later times, Venice was a democratic republic ruled by the Doges, and in the 10th century it became the greatest maritime power in the Adriatic. Crafts flourished in the city, including the production of Venetian glass and cloth making. Until the discovery of the sea route to India in the 15th century, Venice dominated trade with the entire East. The discovery of Vasco do Gama somewhat weakened the position of Venice, which remained, however, the center of outstanding architecture and art. Napoleon, who conquered it in 1797, also played a role in the history of the city. The city was later incorporated into Austria, and regained independence again in the 19th century. Currently, the city is a showcase of northern Italy, an important cultural center of the country. Due to its unusual location, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and its economy is mostly based on tourism. However, life on the lagoon is not easy. Its inhabitants are exposed to frequent flooding, there are also difficulties in the movement and transport of goods.
