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.

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
