13. If you glimpse Lake Bled in Slovenia from one of the distant
mountaintops, you will be convinced that you are seeing
some magical, lost fantasy world of dragons and knights: A
vivid emerald green lake with a tiny island in the middle with
a church perched on its cliff and an ancient medieval castle
clinging to its slopes, hugged on all sides by enormous
mountains, snow-topped and covered with dark, green,
ancient forests.

Located in the eastern United States and part of the massive Appalachians,
the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch from their southernmost end in Georgia
all the way northward to Pennsylvania. Between the Blue Ridge and the

16. In the land of hundreds of magnificent fjords, Geiranger is
considered Norway’s most beautiful: A spectacular creation by
glaciers, this fjord is about 15 km long and 1.5 km wide at its widest
part. With almost vertical mountain sides and no habitable coast, the
occasional abandoned mountain farms bear witness to the relentless
efforts of humankind to conquer nature and gain a foothold. The
most popular way of seeing the fjord is by ferry, but kayaking is as
much fun.

spectacular corners of the world, occupying over 1.2 million
hectares at the southwestern end of the South Island of New
Zealand.

when the water from the Great Lakes broke through the
Niagara Escarpment on the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
