To Havran we walked following blue touristic path starting in Gehenhammer from Gehenhammer Mühle. On the way visiting the ruins of the castle build by Chodove in XIV century called castle Schellenberg (Burg/Hrad Schellenberg). The details of the path can be checked here. It is walk full of the beautiful scenery, especially in the fall when the forests are full of the colors.
Hazmburk is a scenic peak with the ruins of the Gothic castle. Short and nice walk. In the season castle is open for the tourists and you can go to the top of the white tower.
It is a wonder that Magdeburg is so pretty today. It was completely destroyed in the past (in 1631, in 1943 - 1945) but still people rebuild it. Today it is nice city full of different styles and well maintained. Very nice place for a walk around the city centre or along the Elberadweg which cresses the city in two alternative paths.
To Fürstenberg/Havel we get by very nice bicycle road from Berlin Spandau(126km) called Havelradweg. The road goes nearly all the time out of car roads and it is often better quality the those car roads. From Fürstenberg you can the the regional train back to Berlin. It is quite lowly city, although also with the dark history from the XX century. But the biggest impression made on me the main square: On the one side is the evangelic church from XIX century and on the other side NETTO! Build also from the sand bricks, but in XXI century style. Each side of the square shows what is the most important value of their times.
Vevčani is traditinal macedonian village. In the village are located also Vevčani springs prepared for tourists to walk around. Whole area is also suitable for hiking.

Picturesque city full of ancient and medieval spirit. Unforgettable scenery for walking. Not suitable with pram (carrier is recommended for small children). In the port (and not only) they offer also rides along the coastline by boat (fun for children).
Like small see among the mountains. Without salty water. Just a place to relax and swim. Diving is possible as well (in the bay of bones is diving center or id you have equipment with you you can dive where you like.

Skopje city center is under huge reconstruction. All buildings are stylized in the style of ancient Greece/Macedonia. But not in the stone, but just with use of modern light material used for building supermarkets. There is also lots of huge sculptures and fountains. You can feel a bit like in a movie set for the film about Alexander the great. Children should like it. It is recommended to walk through the center, for more fun you can e.g. geocaching.

Nice hiking, suitable also for children. Beautiful views on the both lakes: Ohrid and Prespa. Marking the route is very good. You may be expected to buy for the entrance to the Galichica National Park (in the morning). If you are lazy to hike in the mountains it is still recommended to go by car (or motorbike) to the starting point ( on the way are amazing views).
Camping with diving center, swimming pools, bars, restaurant, animation program etc. Full comfort. Also lots of people. Clean water and beautiful world underwater. Near the main beach is a small church - a sign from older times, when it was just a quite, wild, forgotten place. A bit aqua rd combination.
Old town of Labin offers scenic atmosphere of old times, with small galleries from corner to corner and beautiful view on the surrounding from the tower. Definitely worth to stop on the way.
It is classical activity for Czechs and tourists from all around the glob visiting Czech Republic in summer. Amusing, with some dose of adrenaline, beautiful nature and historical cities on the way. You do not have to prepare much. Just go to Vyšší Brod, rent a canoe and waterproof barrel and go. They will pick you up somewhere down the river. People are doing it with kids, dogs, guitars etc. We made the part from Vyšší Brod to Rožmberk in few hours with a stop for lunch. Enjoy!
Clean water and calm atmosphere, it is what Schladitzer See offers. Near the beach is also the small beach cafe. On the other side of the leak is Beachclub Schladitzer Bucht with offer of different water sports equipment and diving center.
