Top Eifel National Park hiking trails: Rurberg - Einruhr Rundweg

The Eifel National Park  is one of the biggest natural parks in Germany and the biggest of the North Rhine Westphalia. It is also the first conservation park that protects upland beech forests on acidic soil exposed to an Atlantic climate. The park now protects more than 2.170 endangered plant and animal speces. You can find wildcats, beavers, bats, etc.

One of the most beautiful parts is for sure the Volcanic Eifel, where approximately 350 little volcanoes have modeled this land with fire and water, creating nice lakes and enchanting peaks. That is why it has been awared European Geopark status and part of the UNESCO Global Geopark Network.

Last but not least, it is joining the German National Competition for Sustainable Tourism Destination as finalist. That is why it should be always into your ecotourism destinations list.

Best day trips from Prague: Kutna Hora, the Bohemian jewel

Do you want to explore the surroundings of Prague? If your answer is yes, you should not miss the next stop of my Prague - Bratislava road trip was Kutnà Hora a small city located in the Central Bohemia, in Czechia, approximately at one hour of train from Prague. If you visited the Czech capital and have still time, this destination is for sure one of the best day trips from Prague you can have.

In fact, the historical centre with the Church of St Barbara and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec has become part of the Unesco sites since 1995. And I must say that this award is totally deserved.
