The Webasto panoramic infrared-absorbing roof was awarded the Plus X 2015 award. The product was appreciated by the jury in the categories of Innovation and High Quality. The award-winning Webasto panoramic roofs are made of lightweight polycarbonate plastic (Makrolon® manufactured by Bayer MaterialScience). One of the main advantages of the roof system is its ability to absorb solar energy, which prevents the car interior from heating up too much. The ability to absorb infrared is also ecologically beneficial. Less heating of the car interior reduces the need for air conditioning, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. The innovative roof system is another milestone in the development of solutions that ensure comfort for all passengers.

According to legends, Dimmuborgir is the home of a terrible troll named Grýla. Initially, the stories were to serve as a warning for unruly children, and over time they turned into fairy tales about the Icelandic equivalent of Santa Claus, who leaves polite little ones gifts and puts a rotten potato in the shoe of the naughty ones. Heavy music lovers associate "Dimmu Borgir" with a Norwegian black metal band. Amateurs of traveling to distant corners of the world - with a volcanic landscape that makes some people shiver, especially after dark. This landscape can be found in the north of Iceland, on the eastern side of Lake Komarów (Lake Mývatn).

The huge popularity of caravanning in Western Europe is also becoming more and more popular in Poland. Unfortunately, the only obstacle for many people is the high cost of buying their own equipment . Of course, the easiest way to pursue your caravanning passion is to rent a camper during your vacation. Paying a few hundred - several thousand zlotys, we get a fully operational and ready-to-go vehicle. However, for the masses of caravanning enthusiasts, this option is not an option. The prices of new motorhomes are not low, secondary market vehicles are much more affordable. In the case of campers, it is not worth relying only on the Polish market, a much larger selection - sometimes also better prices - can be found in other countries of the community. Undoubtedly, the most popular destination for camper trips are Germany, France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands . Few people consider Great Britain , where the realities are completely different due to the left-hand price movement .

We import a camper from the UK - does it make economic sense?

The appearance of the new Seat Leon ST reveals that new times are coming for C-segment cars. The clear striving for compact solutions and combining the functionality of various body types and fashionable sports design clearly indicates fresh trends in the automotive industry. Estate cars have so far been classified as practical cars, comfortable primarily for families, but not distinguished by aesthetic reasons. The Seat Leon ST changes that view. The body structure and overall design are reminiscent of sports cars. The contoured steering wheel and low-set seats refer to them in the cockpit. The Spanish manufacturer focused on a modern look, which is due to the clean, geometric lines of the body and LED lighting, available in the Style and FR versions. The standard of the Volkswagen concern, to which the Seat brand belongs, is to equip all available power units with direct fuel injection and turbocharging. Customers can choose from gasoline drives with capacities: 1.2 l, 1.4 l and 1.8 l and two variants of diesel engines - 1.6 l and 2.0 l.

Although many people mainly associate it with the former seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and the capital of the Teutonic Order, Malbork is not only a historic center visited during school trips. Few people know that after World War II there were almost no historic buildings in Malbork's Old Town, because bricks from systematically demolished houses were used to rebuild Warsaw. It can therefore be said ironically that if someone does not have the opportunity or time to go to Malbork, he can visit it in the capital. In addition to its turbulent past, the city has many stories to tell about other, more enjoyable moments and places. Today, it is a dynamically developing cultural and tourist center, where we will spend time with our family having fun.

Carado is, in a sense, Hymer for the people, i.e. a motorhome for customers looking for the best value for money. But the lower price doesn't come out of nowhere. In this case, the manufacturer did not want to save on equipment, so he had to keep the traditional, cheaper design. Carado T 339 is one of the many variants of the semi-integrated motorhome based - of course - on the Fiat Ducato. The distinguishing feature of this version is the length of 699 cm and the double bed in the "king size" size . At a price that in Germany is less than 40 thousand. euro , we can buy quite a large motorhome with a comfortable bed.

Can the vacation of a lifetime be spent only in big and noisy resorts? Not at all. A good example of this are small towns in the vicinity of the Italian Pescara. They confirm that small is beautiful and at the same time has a lot to offer. Abruzzo is not only Pescara, Teramo or Chieti. It is a picturesque part of Italy, attracting tourists both with the number of seaside resorts and winter sports centers. It is a region where olives, vines, potatoes and grains are grown, and from the meadows you can hear cows roaring and sheep bleating. Where anglers like to spend their holidays. Where in the landscape - like a bead in an exquisitely embroidered fabric - this is where a tiny, peaceful village is woven into the landscape, unhurriedly existing among the valleys. Which of them should I write about, which I should devote a few words to? Each one deserves attention, if not stopping during the trip to one of the seaside resorts, then at least slowing down while driving.

Francavilla al Mare, meaning small is beautiful
