Treehouses are nothing new. We dreamed about them in childhood, but in recent years they have been growing like mushrooms after the rain and making childhood dreams come true like a bet. Even here. Well, if you ever go to Canada, British Columbia to be exact, you can enjoy a unique respite among the treetops 4.5 meters above the ground in the Free Spirit Spheres hanging roundhouses.
The Eiffel Tower will be overgrown with an impenetrable glass wall. Walls have been a frequent topic of conversation lately. Not only Trump, Paris authorities are also starting construction.

At 216 meters, the Žižek TV Tower in Prague is the tallest building in the Czech capital. The tower with three columns, on which statues of babies climb (by David Černý), was built in 1992. With its modern design, it deviates from historically important buildings, but more than its modest presence, it impresses the hidden fact that it is a luxury one-room hotel a five-star One Room Hotel that offers a magnificent view of the city.
Cool and chic. This is how you could describe Epic Sana Algavre, a five-star resort in Portugal. In Albufeira, next to Falesia Beach, where the green of the pine trees meets the blue of the Atlantic Ocean, we find a real oasis of peace. The resort complex is home to the unique Sayanna Wellness SPA center, which received the award for the best luxury SPA in the world in 2016. Here, we are taken to a world of well-being, surrounded by fragrances, flowers, candles and soft stones, where we can restore our sense of inner peace and get rid of stress and tension. A must visit SPA!
Europe is a beautiful continent, and although it seems that we have already discovered it, fortunately there are still little gems, amazing villages that tourists have not yet really discovered. Villages surrounded by picturesque scenes such as Norwegian fjords or Greek islands, Victorian castles, pastel facades or thatched roofs are sometimes a bit more difficult to reach, but worth every effort. Here are the most beautiful European villages.
In Slovenia, the first avalanche information boards have been erected in the Julian Alps. The number of visitors to the mountains in winter has grown dramatically in recent years. Many of them are quite brave and not just extreme athletes. Alpinists, hikers, snowshoers, touring skiers, freeriders go to the hills in winter, and families with small children are among them. But mountains are dangerous. Especially at a time when the hills are whitewashed and the danger of avalanches lurks on them. Too often we ignore this danger, saying that it can't happen to us anymore. Therefore, we do not know what to do if we are actually surprised by an avalanche. These boards can save your life!
