Tripoint: Czech - Polish - German

At the foot of the mountains, at the joining of two streams, among meadows and forests...there is a tripoint: Czech - Polish - German. Nice place for the walk and breath of history.

Polish and Czech side are connected by the bridge, to Germany you have to go throughout the river, or walk to Bogatynia along the river to the first bridge (1-2km).

At this symbolic place, every year there are popular celebrations, the Ecumenical Worship, in June the villa of Nisa swim here on the river and in December the inhabitants send a message in a bottle, throwing it to the water to the tripoint.

Calypso bay (Ramla Bay), Malta

Ramala Bay means in local language The Red Sandy Beach. And really the beach is different from all other in Gozo and Malta. The sand has a gold color - the color worth of nymph Calypso which lived, according to the tradition, in the cave above the beach. The nymph Calypso is known from The Odyssey by Homer. Odysseus was slaved by her for 7 year in this cave before he resumed his journey.

It lakes about 15 minutes to walk up to the hill with entrance to the cave. Calypso Cave is in fact a series of caves and, according to some, these extend right down to the sea. Unfortunately we were not allowed to enter to the cave as it is dangerous because of the geological movements. Still, it is worth to walk up to the entrance as there is beautiful view to the golden Calypso bay.

Dwejra: feel the power of nature

Dwejra, before also well known by the name Azure Window, is a place that used to be the symbol of Malta: stone arch. During the heavy storm in March 2017 the arch felt down to the see. But the place is still worth visiting. There are lots of picturesque rocks formations. When the see is calm (and usually it is calm) you can swim in the see near the fallen arch. And with the swimming mask you can still see the arch: next one, underwater one! Just go to the blue hole. It is also very attractive place for diving.
