Situated in the historic center of Krnov, a little town near the Czech - Polish border, the Krnov Chateau was originally a massive medieval castle. The building underwent two major restorations - a Renaissance one in the 1530´s and a Classicist one after a devastating fire in 1779. Currently listed as a Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic, the chateau is now home to several private companies.
Photo is from few days ago when I visited beautiful Posočje region in my home country Slovenia. Place is called Šunikov Vodni Gaj, for which I don't have translation unfortunatelly. This might be also the reason why that place is not very known and touristic.
Still I was very impressed with a short hike which offered a great natural relaxation at several water springs and small waterfalls.
Greek Orthodox Church in Esslingen
The Greek Orthodox Church in Esslingen near the River Neckar was built in 1995 and is the biggest Orthodox Church in Europe outside of Greek. The architectural style of this church is a Byzantine basilica with a dome and 3 naves
This photo was taken on a bike ride along the Neckar last summer. I took the photo from a bridge that crosses a side arm of the neckar.

A memory from distant vacations in Sweden. I was visiting a friend in Stockholm, and it's amazing how just a few minutes away from the city, there are views like this. If I recal, this area is the archipelago, with tons of small islands surrounded by nature, and where swedish people come to relax... it's easy to see why!
Porto, Portugal, is a beautiful city, day and night. Like in Lisbon, they are a lot of hills to climb, but they are all worth it. Having a drink with this view is just priceless.
