Extraordinary Saunas And Their Locations. If you think a sauna is just a small heated room or house, where you sit or lie to experience dry or wet sessions, you are so mistaken. A sauna can be whatever you want it to be - a floating house, a duck, an ice house, or a ski lift gondola. Yes, I said "a duck". Have a look at the craziest sauna inventions and their locations around the world, though most of them are to be found, of course, in Finland. Because no one loves saunas as much as Finns do.

With unearthly nature, unreal landscapes or fairy tale architecture, these destinations will take you far away from your humdrum reality. Picturesque Colmar in France, considered the most beautiful city in Europe, looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale. This tiny town in Alsace is famous not only for its magically colourful old town. Colmar, situated along the Alsatian Wine Route, is called the "Capital of Alsatian Wine" - it boasts a sunny microclimate and is the second driest city in France, making it ideal for wine growing. As if being the wine capital was not enough, Colmar, with its pretty squares, fountains and canals, is also called the "little Venice" (la Petite Venise).
The Lord of the Rings' scenery of Faroe Islands truly makes you believe the archipelago is inhabited by hobbits and elves. Saksun, Faroe Islands. Flowery Destinations. It doesn't take Van Goghian imagination to appreciate the beauty of a sunflower. Although they're hardly ever destinations in themselves, the fields of soothing lavender, rows of mind-stirring tulips and meadows sprinkled with wild daisies are ready to put on a brilliant show for your color-thirsty eyes. Just turn on your romantic radar, get off the beaten path and go search for the flower power.
Here's a handful of ideas to get you started: The sight of the endless ribbons of lavender itself attracts thousands of visitors to Provence every year. The fragrant fields stretch across the hills and valleys, with nodding heads of golden sunflowers and swathes of fiercely red poppies sometimes breaking into the purple infinity. But then the charm of Provence is not its flowers alone. Somewhere between Ferrassières and Revest-du-Bion. Poppies near St Pau de Tricastin, Daufinat.

Here's 8 to fall in head over heels... literally or not. Pamukkale just couldn't have been named more aptly. Meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, this UNESCO protected wonder does look like cascading royal terraces floating in the infinite sea of strikingly white fluff. The site has been formed by limestone-laden thermal springs which let the calcium deposits grow into potholes, stalactites and cataracts, and the best part is that you can take a dive into the curing waters. There's nothing like a relaxing bath. Thousands of years of geological evolution have shaped this solitary land into a wonder beyond measure.
Did we miss something? World's Best Ski Resorts. Tons of white fluff, proper elevation, vast skiable area and plenty of lifts – these are the prerequisites. But an ideal ski vacation is as much about whizzing down well-groomed slopes as about enjoying oneself afterwards.

Train travel is a viable alternative to air travel in regions like Western Europe and in countries like China and Japan, which have focused on building high-speed networks that can compete with other modern modes of transport. The U.S. lags woefully behind in the 21st century rail revolution, much to the chagrin of people hoping for the development of greener modes of transportation. However, many travel enthusiasts see trains as not just a way to get from Point A to Point B, but also an opportunity to take in the view along the way. Besides, the act of train travel, high-speed or not, seems more romantic than getting behind the wheel or stuffing yourself into an economy-class passenger plane seat. Some trains and travel companies take advantage of that sentiment, offering “land cruises” on luxury trains that look like they came from the colonial era.
But it is possible to build your own epic rail journey. Trans-Siberian Express What about sightseeing? Indian Pacific The Ghan The Canadian. The Town With No Roads. Plitvice, a watery paradise in Croatia. In recent years, Croatia has changed from a relative unknown to one of the trendiest destinations in Europe. To a great extent this is due to the country's rocky littoral, which, washed by the Adriatic, is considered one of the most beautiful of the Mediterranean coastlines.
Then there is the rich history and cultural heritage of medieval towns such as Dubrovnik, Split and Sibenik. But the well-deserved popularity also depends on the protected natural areas, which make up some ten per cent of the country's area. Eight areas enjoy national park status – a very high number for a relatively small country. Of these, Plitvice is the best known. Use the left and right arrow keys to view the images Plitvice Lakes National Park is in the Lika region of Croatia and lies in a plateau surrounded by three mountains, not far from the border with Bosnia The park is criss-crossed by a series of paths and trails that allow visitors to explore the area and observe the flora and fauna.
