At the great lake, on which hundreds of flamingos wade, there is a huge structure that catches the eye from a distance. This is Hala Sultan Tekke, a place of pilgrimage for Muslims from all over the world, and the lake is called Larnaca Salt Lake. Among the numerous attractions of Cyprus, the Salt Lake, situated near the third largest city of the island, Larnaca, on the south-eastern coast, deserves attention. Every year thousands of birds rest there (migration corridor). They gain strength before continuing their journey, and some stay here for the winter. The lake is especially popular with flamingos, who come here every season in great numbers. It is they that attract tourists the most among the approx. 90 species living around the reservoir.

There is an absolutely amazing place in the Norwegian capital. Beautiful and terrible figures froze in it in granite and bronze at the same time - over two hundred sculptures forcing one to reflect on the course of life, the stages of its passing, and finally death. Vigeland Park (Vigelandsanlegget) is one of Oslo's top tourist attractions and is named after a sculptor who was born to sculpt. The park itself - like an organic creation - grew to become gigantic. Initially, Gustav Adolf Vigeland was commissioned by the city authorities to design a fountain.

The first Thule ski rack was created in the 1970s - since then, the company's goal has been to provide skiers with solutions that enable them to transport their equipment comfortably, safely and in style. The proof is Thule Flow - the new roof-mounted ski rack, distinguished by its aerodynamic shape and the highest level of equipment protection. Flow holds skis up to 210 cm long, and its wide, flat shape also allows you to conveniently transport snowboards, poles and other accessories. Of course, like all Thule products, the Flow is also very easy to install and easy to load - thanks to the low rack height. On the one hand, its characteristic shape is reminiscent of classic Thule products, and on the other hand, it fits perfectly with modern cars. Safety is a priority for all Thule products - the company tests all its roof boxes comprehensively, both in its own Thule Test Center ™ and under real road conditions. When choosing a Thule ski rack, you can be sure that you are choosing one of the safest and most thoroughly tested products on the market. Thule Flow is extremely easy to use and install - thanks to the quick and convenient system using the PowerClick knob. Its interior can be accessed from both sides thanks to the Dual-Side system. When developing its characteristic, streamlined shape, Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology was used - this allowed for perfect aerodynamics, reduced fuel consumption and minimized driving noise.

Buying a camper or caravan can be very expensive. No one is shocked by prices exceeding 100,000. zloty. No wonder that buyers click with interest on sales announcements with a note about the possibility of deducting 23% VAT from the purchase - it gives 23,000. PLN "savings" for every 100 thousand. PLN net price of a motorhome or caravan. Unfortunately, in practice, the matter is not so rosy - a very small part of buyers can deduct all VAT, a small part of buyers can deduct half of it, and the vast majority of customers cannot do it at all. We will also apply different regulations, at least in part, to the motorhome and to the purchase of a caravan.

Purchase of a motorhome or caravan - who can deduct VAT and on what terms?

The pleasure can sometimes be doubled, tripled, and even multiplied by four or five - as is the case in the towns of Cinque Terre (Five Lands). We can find them on the Ligurian Riviera, where, nestled into vertical rocks, they look at the surface of the sea. Cinque Terre consists of five Italian settlements: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Like the Tri-City, they are connected by a perfectly organized communication network. The train passes through them in less than 10 minutes. Traveling by it is a reasonable solution, because it is difficult to find a parking space in the high season. In addition, the road to Cinque Terre is winding and narrow, which makes maneuvering it difficult.

Niesmann + Bischoff is probably the most designer brand among all motorhome manufacturers. Proof? The company recently won an award in the German Design Award 2016 competition, and previously it was awarded, among others, as part of the Red Dot Design Award. What can we expect in 2016? There will be no revolution, but it may be good, because Niesmann + Bischoff motorhomes only needed minor cosmetic procedures to make them dazzling with their beauty again. The designers of the brand have managed to give their motorhomes a characteristic "face", which definitely attracts attention, but not in a controversial way, but in a way that causes common admiration and desire. When looking at an Arto or Flair model, it's hard to suppress the urge to grab the steering wheel of such a vehicle.

In the eyes of a statistical driver, Volvo is synonymous with safety, comfort and functionality. The once angular costs, created almost from the set square, have been replaced with a new design. The first model to introduce Volvo into the new era was the S60 / V60, competing with the BMW 3 and Audi A4 for the customer. We have already presented the classic body - the S60 sedan - on Camprest.com. This time we present the V60 in the CrossCountry AWD off-road version. The most universal variation of the V60 hit the market a few months ago. The manufacturer gave it a much higher ground clearance , underbody covers and eye-catching plastic covers for wheel arches, bumpers and doors . The distinguishing feature of the CrossCountry version are especially prominent bumpers - the rear one is enriched with a meaningful inscription with the model name.

Imagine a frosty evening and the wind howling outside the window, while we, safely hidden from the cold, drink hot chocolate. It not only warms you up quickly, but also puts you in a good mood, especially if it's Swiss chocolate. Versoix is a Swiss resort located near Geneva, famous for its chocolate factory. Thermophilic people will probably not like it - every few years this part of Lake Geneva's coast (right bank) is taken over by a strong wind. Like the breath of the Snow Queen, it blows everything it encounters on its way, creating unusual shapes in the ice and stopping time. The sight of frosty streets and objects is beautiful, but some people prefer to see it only in photos while drinking chocolate and sitting under a warm blanket.

Kroměříž is one of the most beautiful cities in the Czech Republic. Located in Moravia, in the area of eastern Moravia, although small, it has so many attractions that it would be enough for a few larger centers. Christian priests were supposed to serve and lead others while remaining humble and poor. The bishops of Olomouc certainly did not follow this principle when they founded Kroměříž in the 13th century. From the very beginning, the huge, monumental summer residence, which was slowly being built, was to be a reflection of their wealth and strength. In Kromeriz itself, there are also buildings that are far from modest and austere. But it is this splendor and momentum of the episcopal city that attracts tourists today.

Perhaps you dream of a car that would combine the capabilities of an off-road vehicle and a motorhome. But I can bet you didn't take the Mercedes Vito into account! After all, the Vito has been available with all-wheel drive for almost a year now. The Mercedes Vito version with all-wheel drive does not stand out with chrome piping or other spectacular additions that would expose its off-road drive. The Vito 4x4 can look like a regular delivery van, a passenger / delivery van (Mixto) or a van (Tourer). And each of these body variants can have four-wheel drive!.
