You are planning a weekend in Europe and think that you will only have to count on not the most exciting excursions? It all depends only on you, because the Old World is not ready to put up with its age. He has a lot of adventures in store for tourism lovers, to whom this article is dedicated.
High-speed trip through the Balkans
Two years ago, the Via Dinarica pedestrian and cycling route was opened on the peninsula, which stretches 1,000 km from the Slovenian Dinaric Highlands north to Macedonia through Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Experiencing so many iconic sites over the course of an eight-day bike trip is unusual, to say the least. Choose the best route for you and hit the road: the White Route for lovers of heights, the Green Route for cyclists and the Blue Route for fans of long walks along the coast.
Acquaintance with wild Spain
Did you know that the Iberian lynx once inhabited most of the Iberian Peninsula, and today is known as one of the rarest felines in the world? Now it can be found only in two places: in the Doñana National Park south of Seville and in the Andújar Natural Park in northern Andalusia. Perhaps a weekend in Europe during which you followed the trail of an Iberian lynx is a good story to add to your collection.
Bike tour in Romania
Ancient forests, highlands, villages protected by UNESCO, in which the way of life has not changed for many centuries – all this is modern Transylvania. If you want to get to know this amazing world closer, go on a bike tour from Cunda to the southeast to Viscri and enjoy the Europe that only locals know about.
Kayaking in Estonia
The Baltic coast of Estonia, fortunately for us, in some places remains relatively untouched and close to a deserted state. There are special sea routes where you can go by kayak. One of these runs between Prangli, where about 150 people still live, to the islands of Kolga Bay. Untouched nature and abandoned Soviet watchtowers will accompany you throughout the two-day swim.
Walking in the mountains of Slovakia
A weekend in the European mountains means the Alps, you say? It turns out there is a less expensive alternative: the High Tatras, which run along the border of Slovakia with Poland. Here you will find 20 peaks, whose height exceeds 2500 m, on an area of 26 km. And the view of the rocky peaks, valleys and lakes is what you need here!
Canyoning in Corsica
One of the most beautiful French islands is not just for a stylish beach holiday. Not everyone knows, but the peaks of Corsica – and there are over 50 of them – are a kind of Mecca for lovers of mountaineering and canyoning. If you suddenly decide to take a break from contemplating the Mediterranean Sea, climb Mount Monte Cinto and experience for yourself how different Europe can be.
