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.

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?.

More than one city is described as the pearl of a given country. But what about a city that covers almost 2% of its country? A country that is so attractive and at the same time so tiny that it can be considered a treasure in its entirety. This is what Luxembourg is like, or rather the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Nestled between Germany, France and Belgium, the country tempts visitors with a wealth of attractions and their proximity. It's not far away here. The country's capital, Luxembourg, is the Grand Duke's residence, seat of parliament and government. It is also, next to Strasbourg and Brussels, one of the three community capitals of the European Union. It is situated on a high rock plateau surrounded on three sides by the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, and on the fourth side by a city park. Everyone who comes here will be delighted with the beautiful architecture of the city and great cuisine, especially the traditional hare stew and delicious trout or pike dishes. Not to be overlooked is the excellent white wine made in the Moselle valley.

Carado Delight series trailers can be considered the German equivalent of the Polish Niewiadow - their advantage is certainly neither the design nor the equipment. However, they win with the competition in terms of price. Carado's Delight models are offered in Germany from 9,200 euros. Such a price for a new caravan seems to be a really bargain, even if we compare it with the cost of purchasing another model of the same brand - Carado Caravans already cost at least PLN 14,000. euro. For this price, we cannot count on "cool" equipment, but this trailer can be an alternative for those who are thinking between buying a new and used trailer.

Happy to see them. Some may associate the name "Lofoten" with Lot's wife. Where does this comparison come from? It results not only from the similarity of sound - after all, Lot's wife froze from the impression looking at the burning Sodom. Tourists who visit the islands react the same with delight. In 2006, experts from National Geographic awarded Lofoten the third most beautiful islands in the world, and the view from Reine on the Kirkefjord was recognized as the most beautiful in Norway. This is a clear proof that the local landscapes can leave you speechless. One of the main attractions of the area is the polar day that lasts here from the end of May to mid-July. Not only is the lack of nights exotic for tourists, it also allows you to plan much longer trips. In addition to climbing the mountains and exploring islets, there are also several museums that showcase fishing and Viking history.

How big does a motorhome have to be so that it is not cramped? According to Mario Marchi, owner and designer at Marchio Mobile, such a vehicle should be 12 meters long and 4 meters high. Its weight, due to the large amount of electronics and precious materials, is approx. 20 tons. Although the futuristic shapes give the impression that the vehicle was created very recently, the base of the car is the Colani model - a concept truck tractor presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in ... 1977! It must be admitted that this vehicle has not aged at all - it still looks more than modern.

EleMMent - there are no compromises

On the Baltic Sea, in the part of the country called Little Lithuania, there is a city that is the main port of Lithuania. This is Klaipėda, which, as befits a seaside city, offers tourists beautiful, sandy beaches. Nature lovers will also be delighted by the picturesque landscapes and unique nature of the nearby Regional Seaside Park. The city has a well-developed tourist infrastructure - there are many hotels and restaurants, as well as night clubs. There are also two yacht clubs at the guests' disposal, one of which is located in the very center of Klaipėda. Right next to it there is a cruise ship terminal offering cruises on the Baltic Sea.

Globetrotter XL is one of the largest models released by Dethleffs - an experienced manufacturer of caravans and motorhomes. Size XL obliges, which is why the largest vehicle in this series is 862 cm long (the smallest 792 cm). The width of each XL model is 233 cm. The car is not tall - it measures 293 cm. Both the front and other walls of the vehicle have been completely redesigned, so even a trained eye will not notice that the car was based on the Fiat Ducato structure.

A country with a very exotic language has many attractions. One of the popular Hungarian cities is Győr, situated on the Raba and Danube, in the northwest of the country. It is also a resort with the first women's handball team in Hungary. The name "Győr" comes from the Avar language and means defense fortresses built on a circular plan. But what captivates visitors is the beautiful, baroque architecture of the monuments. An interesting fact about Győr is that the Town Hall (Városhaza) is not, as in most Hungarian centers, located in the center of the Old Town, but away from it - on a 19th-century square. The building is distinguished by a 58-meter tower topped with a clock.

Light and practical like a tent, comfortable like a motorhome - on such assumptions the unusual Cricket caravan (that is, literally translating Świerszcz) was based. It all started in 1972. It was then that Carrett Finney, a little boy from Philadelphia, wrote in a letter to St. Nicholas that he would like to receive a boat for Christmas. Unfortunately, his wish did not come true. Even so, Carrett did not stop dreaming. His fascination with small rooms, in which one could live, led him to ... NASA. It was there in 1999 that Finney became one of the designers responsible for "interior design" in spacecraft. The constructors' goal was to design the most functional living space in the smallest possible room.
