Cloudland Canyon is located near the northern end of Lookout Mountain, it is about 2 hours drive north of Atlanta (mainly on highway 75) , and this park is really beautiful, offering some really nice hikes and peaceful atmosphere. There are few trails, while visiting i walked the Waterfall Trail and loved it,very easy walk and great views, till you get to the end where you see the waterfalls – really nice.

In general, Flam (or Flaam, or Flåm) is a small place in Norway which i visited 2 years ago, this was one of the places i really looking forward to visit (mainly since they have such great reputation, and their site is really great, but in general, yes, it is a great place, lovely fjord and some really nice hikes and amazing views – defiantly worth the trip.
The only thing i would advise you to avoid, is the train trip, it is a really expensive trip, and the views you see while riding the trains are not really worth the price – you see all these views and more from the village itself. Yes, you will see a nice waterfall, but you will get to see thousands of these while visiting Norway. Other than that, the train (due to the fact its an historical train) is so slow so other than the money you will be spending 2 hours of precious Norway travel time.

This mountain offers some great views, while going up on the great revolving cable car (which means everyone gets to see the view to all of the directions without the need to squeeze around one window. when you at the top, there are great views of around the mountain and you can also visit the ice cave.

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.

While in north Italy, Mount Marmolada, which is the highest mountain of the Dolomites, is one of the most beautiful views of the erea and it is just an amazing spot to visit. You will need to take 3 different cables cars to the top of it.

These are some really amazing, high falls which are located in the Yoho National park (right along side between Banff and Jasper). The falls are huge, you will see them from a distance even from the parking area which is probably a good spot to start taking some pictures – you wont be able, when closer to fit it to the frame.

When in Israel you will see a lot of the sea – that is for sure, but there are some real gems hiding along the smaller roads. One of these roads is the road leading from north of Netanya to road #2 going through some small villages and right on the water.
Directions: When you are in North Netanya, continue into Avichail (its a small town next to Netanya) keep on driving west till you get to a stop sign, take a right follow the road (you will see the blue bay hotel on your left) right after you pass the hotel you will see the sea right there to your left – some really nice views, if you want, park your car and go down to the beach – usually these are pretty empty.

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.
