On the occasion of the recent motor show in Frankfurt, Opel decided to make a tribute to customers who prefer active leisure. The Vivaro Surf Concept is to be the perfect car for those who have had problems with finding a place for a muddy bicycle or a surfboard. If the words "Concept" appear in the name of the car, it usually means that we will not see such a car on the streets. But in the case of the described Opel model, it should be different. The manufacturer announces that the Surf Concept will be available as a limited edition of Vivaro for some time. Perhaps Opel wants to probe the market in this way, and therefore check whether it is worth going towards tourist vehicles, as Volkswagen and Mercedes have already done.

Dunrobin Castle is one of Scotland's oldest continuously inhabited monuments. The fairy-tale castle, surrounded by beautiful gardens, is the seat of the Dukes and Counts of Sutherland. Dunrobin Castle is a huge 14th-century mansion located in Scotland. It is designed like French chateaux on the Loire, which makes it significantly different from other Scottish monuments. The beautiful building brought many misfortunes - because of it, many families living in the surrounding villages were forcibly displaced.

The car battery is like our health. When we are fine, we operate at full capacity. We over-exploit the body, until at some point it refuses to obey and forces us to "perform a check-up" at the doctor's office. It is similar with the battery. When we start the engine every day, we do not think about the condition of our battery. Only the emerging problems with the ignition, or its complete absence, forces us to intervene quickly. Most passenger cars use maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, but there are also gel, gel-like electrolyte and AGM batteries on the market, in which glass fiber mats are soaked with electrolyte. The most popular ones, used in our cars, maintenance-free, however, require inspections. Because the way we use our car battery will affect its condition and failure-free operation for years.

How to keep the battery in good condition?

In Berat, we will eat burqa and spend the night talking over rakija. We will not let the power of the drink, reaching up to 70%, knock us off our feet. We will leave the city without a hangover, but remembering the kindness of its inhabitants. Albanian Berat is one of the most beautiful cities in the Balkans. It is located in the central part of the country, on the banks of the Osum River, at the foot of the Shpirag and Tomorri Mountains. The attractive location became the source of a legend telling about two giants who had feelings for the same girl. Both relatives rushed to fight for their beloved and dealt so strong blows that with each subsequent one they fell into the ground. There was no winner in this skirmish - exhausted, they died of their wounds. The girl mourned them for so long that a river emerged from the tears she had shed.

The company based in Jandelsbrunn (Lower Bavaria) has never sold so many touring vehicles - especially motorhomes - at the Düsseldorf trade fair before. As you know, appetites grow with eating, so the flagship proposition in the premium class will now be the debuting KNAUS SUN i model. In addition to the positive sales results, the company reports the confirmation of contracts with the existing and new trade partners of the brand. The past Caravan Salon fair allows us to believe that next year will be exceptionally successful. Later this year, we plan to increase our turnover from EUR 297 million to around EUR 350 million. It is a huge merit of the contracts we signed with end customers in Düsseldorf - says Wolfgang Speck, president of the management board of Knaus Tabbert GmbH.

Knaus targets the premium segment

According to many tourists visiting the Rhine, the most beautiful town in the region is Bacharach, surrounded by the defensive walls. It is visited by lovers of wonderful landscapes and wine (not necessarily only Rieslings) and romantics. Bacharach is located in the district of Mainz-Bingen, between Loreley and Bingen, in a region famous for its wine production. The area in which it is located is the Middle Rhine Valley, which has been part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage since 2002. It is not without reason that the name of the city shares a common element with the name of the Greek god of wine, Bacchus, because Baccharach was in the past the center of the wine trade. The hills at its feet are also green today with grapevine plantations, so a trip along the vineyard route is one of the main attractions here. Which one is worth visiting? Certainly Weingut Ratzenberger , run by a family that handed down the wine tradition from generation to generation. From the top of the vineyard there is a wonderful view of Bacharach and its surroundings.

The time of rest after an active holiday began with such a view ... The need for silence, "desert" - no people, no wifi, no www, no forum ... Where? The fate fell on the east of Poland . Overnight somewhere at a gas station to visit a beetle in Szczebrzeszyn in the morning. . . . . Another stop and very good hot chocolate with fruit on the market square in Zamość. . . . . . . . . . . From here to the north and on the way the Orthodox Holy Mount Grabarka. . . . . . On the way to Białowieża, there is a beautiful Orthodox church in the village of Kleszczele.

Another interesting place in Poland is Wierzchosławice - the Wincenty Witos Museum , which consists of a family house from 1814, where Wincenty Witos was born, and a farm built by him in 1905-1913. The farm consists of: a residential building, a stable, two barns and a cellar. . . In the old house, ethnographic exhibits showing life in the countryside in the 19th century have been collected, while the interior of the residential house in the new homestead has retained its original character from the period of Witos' life.

Another trip to Lublin took us to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Kębło in Wąwolnica . The Lublin region delights with its wonderful green forests and clean air. We went to Wąwolnica through beautiful Nałęczów, next to the plants producing "Nałęczowianka", and on the way back we had lunch at Karczma Nałęczowska , where a revolution was recently made by Magda Gessler. First, we visited the Minor Basilica in Wąwolnica ... . . . ... next to which, in the Chapel , there is the Miraculous Figure of Our Lady of Kębło.

At the end of September, the academic year is approaching inexorably. After our trip this year, I was a little unsatisfied, so together with Dominika we decided to take a few days off at work and set off ... There were a lot of plans ... visit one of the European capitals or other more interesting places. We wandered for a few days, where to go here, what to do, so many things to do, but a little time ... This turned on the lamp above the head like in a cartoon. Hola, hola, we have the Crown of Polish Mountains to be finished. Without thinking much, we packed our trekking equipment into the bus and set off again with our beloved Tripciak in the Sudetes.
