Third, just to Sicily and Sardegna, Elba is one of the largest islands in Italy. Historically, it was necessary for its iron production and mining. Today, it is a tourist hotspot, but not as run over as other parts of Italy. Luckily, the islanders successfully maintained Elba’s authenticity and quietness.
Elba is an island on the western coast of Italy. Mostly known for being the last principality of Napoleon after being exiled from France. Also, it is a place where many beautiful flowers grow all over the main town of Portoferraio.

While traveling in Italy during early fall, the sun still seems to be your constant companion; the heat isn’t as overbearing anymore as in summer, though. So you can better enjoy this European country, which is particularly rich in history as well as in nature.
Impressions from a journey trough the alpine country of Austria in October 2018.
When traveling to Austria in October, there is a particular mood setting over the country. The heat of summer is over, and nature is beginning to prepare for a more harsh season. Still, the weather can be lovely with blue skies and a milder, gentler sun. The leaves start to fall, and brown and yellow colors fall over the landscape. Autumn is here, and it is the perfect time for a walk in the hills.
