The oldest city in Finland, Turku, can be the proverbial icing on the cake on our tour of this beautiful country. It is the first capital of the country, and for many Europeans visiting Finland, the first city they come across - the port of Turku is regularly visited  . In summer, it gets noisy on the banks of the Aurajoki River, with floating bars floating on the water. The name "Turku" in Finnish means "market square" and dates back to the time when the market here was the largest market on the south coast. In 2011, the city was awarded the title of the European Capital of Culture.

The world is crazy about caravans, trailers, related gadgets and accessories, even if the last ones are only hairy cushions or curtains in white and red checked ... Trailers are triumphant on the internet. But not the new and futuristic ones. Old caravans have the best streak, becoming a graceful object for alterations and original styling. It turns out to be a good idea to buy an old caravan and "pimp" it in such a way that friends, neighbors and even passers-by rub their eyes with surprise. An old caravan is a great material not only to tinker a bit, but above all an opportunity to present your individual style to the world. So you can have a luxury caravan, dripping with chrome and making a great impression with pink leather, quilted armchairs, or you can arrange it more cozily with home curtains, curtains and pillows. Finally, you can choose a more unusual style and prepare a unique trailer that would, for example, match the Hello Kitty cartoon.

If we have already visited the capital of Finland, Helsinki, but we do not want to leave this beautiful, though slightly frosty country yet, we can go to a town with a nice-sounding name of Kotka. Funnily enough, it does not mean a fluffy pet - it literally means "eagle". Kotka is located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, approx. 40 km from the border with Russia. The city center is located on the island of Kotkansaari. The port of Kotka is the country's main seaport , serving for foreign trade in both Finland and Russia.

The Hobby Landhaus caravan differs from the outside from most caravans. It is neither a slightly curved hood on wheels nor a super aero car of the latest generation. However, it is large and angular. And even its roof, protruding beyond the outline of the body, evokes associations with home. Inside, we can also feel like a house, at least a summer house. However, the furnishings do not fit this term - very tasteful furniture in the color of light beige wood interspersed with a brown finish with silver handles are associated rather with a high-class apartment.

What if you were to take a road trip through southern Finland? The starting point may be in the capital of the country, Helsinki, and then, overwhelmed with the desire to discover as many attractive places as possible, we can move forward. There are several options - a ferry ride from Gdynia to Helsinki or a Via Baltica trip to Tallinn. From there,  run not only much more often, but also the price is a bit more attractive (depending on the carrier's offer, the cost of a trip of 4 people and a motorhome can be around 200 euros), not to mention the travel time - two hours.

This trailer can be successfully recommended to demanding travelers. Also for those for whom aesthetics is important. Well-finished pear-colored furniture is complemented by white kitchen furniture fronts and handles in the color of chrome-plated metal. The deep cabinets are equipped with a soft closing mechanism. The folding table is adjustable in height. The whole is complemented by storage compartments, large, small and tiny - every scrap of free space has been thought out from this angle. Even under the hanging cabinets surrounding the entire caravan, there is still space for integrated shelves.

Let's go to the north of the continent, to a country that many know little about. Let's go to Estonia, and more specifically to the tiny town of Pärnu, located in its south-western part, by the Baltic Sea. The city is the main tourist center in Estonia. Its population is about 45,000, but in high season the resort is populated by visitors from all over the world. They are attracted by the extraordinary beauty of the village, wide beaches, and healing treatments - Pärnu, also known as Pärnu, is a health resort known for its mud baths. Thousands of people come here to relax in the beautiful surroundings on the shores of the sea bay. In summer, long, sandy beaches are crowded to the limit, but it's hardly surprising - it's a unique place.

Poznań, March 4, 2013 - The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand will present the concept Transporter e-Co-Motion at this year's Geneva Motor Show. This car combines features that seem to be exclusive: it is compact and manoeuvrable despite the large cargo space, it can carry 800 kg of cargo, and thanks to the electric drive it does not emit harmful substances. "With the ever increasing demand for transport in large cities, electric mobility - especially for light commercial vehicles - could become of paramount importance," explained Dr. Eckhard Scholz, spokesman for the Brand Management Board. “The goods would be delivered to the city gates by rail or large trucks with traditional or hybrid drive. At intermediate stations, the load would be divided into smaller, electric cars, moving within a certain radius from a fixed base, with technical facilities for battery charging and maintenance. " Equipped exclusively with the e-Co-Motion electric drive, it offers many practical features: high maneuverability in a small footprint on the road, very good visibility, ergonomic seats and easy access to and from the luggage compartment, easy loading thanks to the low door edge and large cargo space capacity . The e-Co-Motion concept offers maximum space in a minimal footprint. With a length of only 4.55 m (width: 1.90 m, height: 1.96 m), the cargo space of this studio model is a maximum of 4.6 m3 and a load capacity of 800 kg. Such good values were achieved thanks to the clear division of the body structure into the lower part, necessary for driving, including the drive, battery and transmission located under the floor, and the upper part - intended for the load. Such a division has become the basis for the maximum use of space and the use of various types of buildings, corresponding to the wishes of customers. The customer decides whether it should be a driver's cabin with a built-in load box, a body intended for the transport of people, a low-floor box or a thermal insulation body.

Anyone who stands on the top of Babia Góra and looks towards Slovakia will surely catch the eye of the Orava Lake, shimmering like gold. This largest Slovak artificial reservoir is located in the Orava Basin in the northern part of the country. Its surroundings are as beautiful as the lake itself, which tourists eagerly use when coming here to relax. There are marinas, a campsite and several recreational centers on the shore. Several villages, including the historic center of Námestov, were flooded with the reservoir. Fortunately, not all tourist attractions are under water. Tourists can visit the local Renaissance church of St. The apostles Simon and Jude. It was built in the 17th century, and to this day, two confessionals, a baroque baptismal font and a stone Marian column have been preserved. The sculptures of St. Barbara and St. Catherine, as well as a nineteenth-century folk statue.

The Italian brand Rimor's catamarano can be combined with two different cars. It can be based on both the Ford Transit and Renault Master models. The bodywork itself, however, is very similar in both vehicles and has been designed so as to allow the whole family to stay overnight in a small space - not necessarily in the most popular variant "two adults with two children". A catamarano is by definition a low-budget vehicle - if you can even say that about a motorhome. However, we will not meet here with a huge amount of space or with luxurious equipment. The manufacturer's goal was to create a popular vehicle that could be afforded not only by a wealthy family.

A motorhome for a large family

Turkey is a country full of contrasts and surprises, it can surprise even the most experienced travelers. It is so attractive that some people only go there, not forgetting its beauty. When we cross the country's borders and obtain a tourist visa (its cost is 15 euro or 20 dollars), virtually unlimited possibilities will open up to us. Many kilometers of picturesque routes, breathtaking wonders of nature, as well as monuments from the ancient times of great civilizations are waiting to be explored.

Aerodynamic, modern shape, high-class furniture and additional solutions improving functionality - these are certainly important advantages of the Astella Glam Edition caravan by Adria. But the most important thing is its luxurious style and splendor evoking associations with a yacht, by no means the cheapest one. How about a TV set hidden in the table top, which only gently slides out of it when needed? How about a spacious bathroom with a separate, glass shower enclosure? Or maybe you are interested in a microwave oven, cleverly hidden behind a door integrated with the refrigerator?.
