At Yoho national park, located only about 30 minutes drive from lake Louis e you can find a peaceful, small lake, all green water – Emerald lake.
This is truly one of the more peaceful spots on the Canadian Rockies and i love it, although it is not one of the main, big, well known attractions.

The Niagara falls at night are so much different than the way you see them during the daytime, there are many lights pointing to the falls in different colors and everywhere you look you see the falls in colors – it is really a unique view.

The Uruniemi Camping near Inari at the north of Finnish Lapland is located 2 Km outside of the Inari village – which makes it so isolated and really unique. The camping offers all kind of cabins with or without running water so prices vary and can fit many people. It is right on the lake so it is amazing and the views are great . There is, of course, a sauna and also a fire cabin where it is nice to sit around the fire (big enough for 10 people or so).
We called them 2 days before our arrival and even though it was out of season they agreed to open for us and were reasonably priced as well…very nice people.
Phone: 358-(0)16-671331
Directions: When you take the bus to Inari there is a bus stop right in front of it before the bus goes into the village

Just an hour drive from Atlanta is Tallulah gorge and waterfalls. The gorge and the falls are really nice, there are several viewpoints along the way which offers some great views, these are located near the visitor’s center and from there you can also take the stairs down to see the falls from a closer look. During some weekends a year the dam is wide open and then its probably even more beautiful since the water are more powerful.

This is an amazing lake and it is really worth some of the disadvantages of this boat ride (for example the boat ride is not cheap, the explanations on board are in German only and they collect tips during the ride which is a bit annoying I must say) – but the great view you see is worth it. This is a crystal blue lake with some cliffs and mountains around it. At the end of the tour you get to an island on which you can walk around and get into the small church.

This is truly one of the most amazing ways to experience the falls from close. this a boat tour take you as close as possible to the falls – you will get wet for sure but they give you a coat. It is really touristic and can be crowded sometimes but still it is a really nice way to observe the falls.

This is a well known lake so there are always many tourists there, but this is not harming the peaceful atmosphere of this lake and the small town around it. The lake itself is a small round lake, you should defiantly walk around it to view it from all angels (there are some great views when you see the little island in the middle of the lake with all the mountains around it). There is also the Bled castle you can visit which is located just above the lake, and the island itself.

This park is really small but really beautiful, it is located eastern from the Oregon coast line so if you drive on the 101 or the 5 you need to exit at Roseburg and drive on the 138 and you will see the signs from there. the park itself is a little lake created inside a volcanic basin. The water are so blue and clear and the cliffs around it makes it really amazing.

Make sure you have at least 5-6 hours for this park since it has many trails to walk on. This park has many waterfalls, some are small and some are really big. but the full entrance ticket which costs about 10 Euros and include the bus to the entrance (or back to the parking) and the boat rides inside the park. It is best to take the best to the highest entrance since then you will walk downhill most of the time instead of uphill, also the smaller falls are at the top and when you get to the lower lakes you will see bigger falls, after you take the boat ride to the other side, take the trail to the big waterfall. Keep in mind the the way back from the big waterfall to the entrance (where you take the bus back to the parking) is a walk uphill so save some energy for that.

This park is really nice and located not too far from the city of Reykjavik. This park is part of the golden circle tour rout. This park is a lot of fun just to walk around since it is beautiful – lots of water, ponds and all around it – huge rocks.
this site is an historical site and its very interesting.
