A Voyage to the Old Kingdom
The proper history of England begins with the conquest of the island by the Anglo-Saxons in the 6th century. Still, for many thousand years before, the country was inhabited by settlers, who cultivated the land and made it arable for the upcoming generations. During this process, the landscape was altered extensively. Of course, England used to be covered by dense forests before, like other parts of Northern Europe. Much of the wood was used for chipmaking, as England was an island country and depended on sea trade and fishing. England became rich, and in the middle ages, beautiful castles and monasteries were built, surrounded by little towns, which became bigger towns with magnificent cathedrals later on. A lot of the history of England can still be seen today when traveling to England. Take your time, don’t hurry, and never forget the cup of tea in the afternoon!
A Journey through England
England is a prosperous country when it comes to history and traditions. There are old mansions and ruins scattered all through the nation, surrounded very often by beautiful nature and accompanied by lovely gardens. Amiable is South England, which consists of exciting and sometimes even weird-looking coastlines. Get yourself a nice cup of tea, find a place with a great view, and enjoy yourself!
The Waterfalls of Plitvice
Currently, sixteen lakes are visible at the surface in Plitvice, but the number changes due to natural conditions. The unique feature of these lakes is the natural dams, called travertines, built by a combination of bacteria, algae, and moss. They are susceptible to outside conditions and grow up to one centimeter yearly. The lakes are known for their distinctive colors, from azure to green, grey, or sometimes blue, depending on the light and the organisms living inside. But most famous, of course, are the countless waterfalls, which bind the different lakes together and, at this moment, create a unique natural landscape.
Nature of Plitvice
If you think about paradise, the national park of Plitvice in central Croatia comes pretty close to it. A marvelous place of nature it encompasses 296,85 square kilometers of pure wild. The forests seem to be endless, and the gentle hills make for some beautiful curves in the panorama. Here and there, you find a castle, a water mill, or a trail leading to a lake with some stunning waterfalls.
Holland Nature
The natural beauty of Holland is stunning. You never stop to marvel when cycling around the vast and seemingly endless fields of the Netherlands. Especially in spring, the country is beautiful when nature comes alive again, and the tulips fully bloom. Hop on the bike and take a ride with me!
