The castle of Oravski Grad stands on a cliff more than 100 meters high on the banks of the Morava River, near the village of Oravski Podzamok. Due to its location, the castle acquired the second name "eagle's nest". This castle complex began to be built in the XIII century on the site of a wooden fortification. For the first time Oravsky grad was mentioned in chronicle sources back in 1267. A century later, it was already one of the largest castles in the area. The palace on the territory of the City was built in the XVI century, and in 1800 the castle buildings suffered during a fire, and only in the XIX century its reconstruction in the Romanticism style began. The castle was completely reconstructed only in the last century, and now the Moravian Museum of Local Lore is located here.

2022-06-10 03:07:48 China , Jiuzhaigou Valley

Jiuzhaigou Valley is an extraordinarily beautiful place on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Nature has created genuine miracles from water and limestone, algae and bacteria, decorated its creation with mosses, lichens and many hundreds of plants in captivating abundance and splendor. As a rule, the Jiuzhaigou Valley means two reserves at once – Jiuzhaigou itself and the Hualong Reserve. In turn, Jiuzhaigou consists of three more smaller valleys.

While the small Huanglong Valley can be walked in one morning or one evening, for the vast Jiuzhaigou valleys it will take at least one day, and then if you decide to walk less with your feet and take the bus more. If you want to avoid a large crowd of people, it is better to walk a lot - then it will take at least two days, and only then you will really enjoy the local beauties.

2022-06-09 03:05:35 Kenya , Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor or Giraffe Manor is a small private mansion hotel in the suburbs of the capital of Kenya — Nairobi, on the banks of the Mbagati River. This is an amazing place where one of the subspecies of these incredible animals is bred and then released into the wild — the Rothschild giraffe.

Even 30 years ago they were on the verge of extinction, but thanks to the work of the National Giraffe Center and Giraffe Manor, the subspecies is now almost restored.

Over the years, Giraffe Manor has grown and released about a thousand giraffes into the savannah. Traditionally, pets are given names here in honor of people who have made a significant contribution to the work of the foundation.

The hotel itself is small — it has 6 bedrooms and a large high dining room, as well as an open terrace. Guests have the opportunity to feed the animals during breakfast and lunch. Open / Comment

2022-06-08 15:05:03 Gasaladur #Denmark

Gasaladur is a fabulous and fascinating village on the Faroe Islands

The village is located in an incredibly beautiful valley between the highest cliffs of the island. 

To get to another part of the island, residents had to overcome a 400m mountain trail. Due to such inaccessibility, the population of the village was declining

In 2004, a five-kilometer automobile tunnel was made in a monolithic rock, and people began to settle in this fabulously beautiful place again, dragging tourists with them

2022-06-08 03:02:42 Israel , Masada Fortress

Not far from the Israeli city of Arad, the fortress of Masada rises on a trapezoidal plateau of one of the rocks of the Judean Desert.

It owes its appearance to King Herod I the Great, who in the 25th year BC built a shelter on the rock for his family. However, it was not built from scratch — as a basis, the king used the remains of the fortress of the Hasmonean period (dated 37-31 BC).

Weapons, food, and gold were also stored in the fortress. There was even an artificial water supply, there were baths. Some of the buildings have survived to the present day. So, in the fortress you can see Herod's palace, a synagogue, baths, water tanks cut into the rocks, a pool for ritual ablution, and much more.

Once at the foot of a steep 450 m cliff, on which the fortress is actually located, some tourists prefer to climb up on foot along a narrow path, which is called the snake.
