Located 70 kilometres from the centre of Bari, this unique medieval manor house stands on top of a hill in the Apulian Murgia, 540 metres above sea level and 18 kilometres from Andria. It was built by King Frederick II between 1229 and 1249 and is today a national monument and one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Southern Italy. In 1996, Castel del Monte was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

This busy square sits at the southern end of Bordeaux’s Old Town and is a popular hangout, especially among students. The 18th-century Porte d’Aquitaine marks one of the city’s old entrances, while a tall obelisk and two bronze tortoises — added in 2005 by Czech sculptor Ivan Theimer — celebrate Bordeaux’s wine culture. Look closely and you’ll spot grape clusters and appellations carved into the sculptures. Around the square, you’ll find casual bars, kebab shops, and small boutiques. It’s more a spot to grab a drink or soak up the atmosphere than a must-see, but it’s a good place to get a feel for local life.

Modern technology makes it possible. While it used to be infinitely tedious to trudge through the winter landscape despite wearing snowshoes, snowshoeing is today one of the most pleasant and most relaxing ways to exercise in the open air during winter. And what's more, snowshoeing is one of the sustainable winter sports. That is because it allows everything that is good for relaxation and revival to be combined – nature as far as the eye can see, clear, fresh mountain air and steady, rhythmic exercise. The great thing about it is that no special knowledge or specific training are needed for snowshoeing. Whoever wants to try it out can rent the equipment on-site – Lech Zürs Tourist Office has the necessary information. Buckle up the snowshoes and get moving. Fans of this sport will find an almost endless array of possibilities in Lech Zürs. Highly recommended: a hike with a guide. The guide knows the area inside out and leads hikers on the most beautiful routes to the most amazing places in Lech Zürs. Not only sun terraces, huts and "Alps", but also numerous staging points invite you to take a well earned rest. Experience the stillness and enjoy nature in her primordial form.
