Moldova Trips

Moldova is a friendly, sleepy place, steeped in far-flung rural villages and prolific farmlands. Famed for its verdant steppes, forests and lakes, it is home to 178 nature reserves including five of special scientific interest. Hiking, kayaking, sailing, horse-riding, caving and even paragliding are all possible in Moldova.
Bound by the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Dniester River in the east, land-locked Moldova is bordered by the much larger nations of Romania and Ukraine. Its landscape is punctuated with endless waterfalls, rivers and hot and cold water springs, and many of them have been channelled into luxury spa resorts and therapeutic retreats and are great places to unwind after a long day walking in the hills.
Its lakes are home to egrets, swans, storks and other aquatic birdlife, whilst an extensive network of canyons, grottos and caves include one subterranean passage that extends for 80 kilometres. Unsurprisingly, Moldova is becoming a favourite among adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...

Gediminas castle

All Lithuanians know a legend about establishment of Vilnius city. It was the beginning of 14th century when Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas stopped for an overnight near confluence of Neris and Vilnele rivers. That night he dreamt an iron wolf howling on a hill. In the morning his soothsayer Lizdeika explained his dream as a sign for him to build here a city as it will become a well known and widely resounded in all over the World. Gediminas ordered to pour a mound at the same place he slept. On the hill there a castle was built, the predecessor for the nowadays Gediminas castle. According to archeological researches, the hill where Gediminas castle stands nowadays was already inhabited in a Neolithic period. In 11-13th centuries a wooden castle here stood. The same as Vilnius city, it was mentioned in 1323 for the first time. For more than 250 years since 1315, when a dynasty of Gediminaičiai ruled the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the complex of Vilnius castl...

Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination for lovers of impeccability in everything. The best ski resorts of the Alps, impeccable service in high-class hotels and an excellent "excursion" in ancient cities and castles. Someone Switzerland may seem boring, someone - too expensive, but someone will find there the most charming castles in the world, and the other - the best routes of the Alps. And everyone will be right in their own way. So it is not surprising that the ski resorts in Switzerland are divided into two categories: for billionaires and millionaires. Let this be a clear exaggeration, but there is a bit of truth in it: the prestige factor is the main tourist trump card implying tangible financial costs. However, the direction has a lot of other advantages: licked tracks for every taste, the best mountain hotels in the world and a whole mass of historical sights, mostly castles. Of the minuses, it is possible to distinguish all the same high cost ... however, as you k...
