1. Hallstatt, Austria

Hallstatt, Austria

The first candidate is located in the Upper Austria region. The fairytale village of Hallstatt, lying on the shores of the same lake, is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

2. Bohemian Switzerland, Czech Republic

The name itself already suggests that it is going to be worth. The most famous of the four national parks in the Czech Republic symbolizes unique photogenic beauty. It is known for its rock formations, among which the Pravčická Gate dominates. An unforgettable experience is a boat ride through the Wild and Edmund Gorge, the surrounding fauna and flora are incredible. If you are afraid of heights and straits, another option is the strength through the peaceful forests of the Kyjov valley.

To find this violet beauty one should visit Provence. Valensole, Sault or Luberon fields are recommended to be visited at the end of June and beginning of July when lavender blooms the most. We recommend to admire it from a distance to all the allergic people, others can try to get these postcard moments. It is an incredible moment that you will never forget.

Neuschwanstein, Germany

Beautiful, breathtaking, dreamlike. One is not exaggerating when referring to the Neuschwanstein castle, perhaps the most famous in Germany. Set amidst picturesque nature, it is challenging to find a more romantic place. The interior is equally majestic, with every room hiding its own story. Under the chateau, there is even an artificially created cave with a waterfall, as it just jumps out to our world from the legend.

A mix of nature, culture, and history. This is Thingvellir, located about forty kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, Iceland. Among other things, the National Parliament Althing was established here. You can enjoy beautiful nature at the Öxarárfoss waterfall, which freezes in extreme winters and literally asks for a photo to be taken. We advise courageous ones and divers to dive into the Silfra gorge and visit the place where Eurasian and North American tectonic plates have met.

14. Cinque Terre, Italy

Cinque Terre, Italy

A beautiful set of five sites on the coast of the Ligurian Sea. This is the Cinque Terre in Italy. Indeed, it is the five fishing towns that line the coastline and are characterized by their architecture, which contrasts wonderfully with wildlife around. Colorful houses and forested hills. This is the combination that makes the towns of Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso, Riomaggiore and Vernazza a regular kings of the most picturesque cities in Italy.

Although Macedonia is small in size, natural beauty shown is more than enough. One proof for all is the Matka Canyon, only fifteen kilometers far from Skopje.

The former Yugoslavia has a painful history, but it is extremely rich in beautiful nature and medieval towns. Bosnia and Herzegovina is no exception. This is where you find Mostar, which is to be jinxed you. Medieval buildings amid immaculate nature, this city is like cut out of the historical movie. Its dominant feature is the iconic Stari Most, and the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque and the huge abandoned hangar, which is a scary place to visit, but definitely the recommended one.
