Day Trip to Colmar
Colmar has been in our list of places to visit for a long time. The short distance from Zurich is very attractive (Colmar is only 150 KM from Zurich) and we can easily go for a day trip anytime. This was actually our second attempt to visit the city. Unfortunately, the first time we tried to visit, we had an accident on the motorway only 30 KM away from reaching Colmar and we were forced to return home. Luckily, nobody got hurt but we had to postpone our visit for few more months. Almost a year later, we finally managed to reach our destination. We were greeted with a beautiful…

Day Trip To Freiburg Im Breisau

As it looked like the universe wanted to give us a push, we decided to take the…

Oliva has long been a very popular holiday option among the Spaniards and the town has gained more and…

Day Trip to Cuenca
The last Christmas we spent in Spain, me and Jozef rented a car to travel through the countryside. We started in Madrid and finished our trip in Malaga. We drove through wonderful and unforgettable places and one of them was the city of Cuenca in the region of Castilla-La Mancha. Cuenca has some of the most impressive landscapes I have ever seen, which makes this city one of the most memorable cities in Spain. The old center of Cuenca is a world heritage site and the intriguing Casas Colgadas, which were built in the 14th century, are undoubtedly the best attraction of the city. The main attraction in the city…
