<span style="line-height: 1.35em;">Eilean Donan Castle is one of the most recognised castles in Scotland, and probably appears on more shortbread tins and calendars than any other.</span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">  </span><span style="line-height: 1.35em;">It is, without doubt, a Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular visitor attractions in the Highlands.</span><span style="line-height: 1.35em;"> </span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.35em;">When you first set eyes on it, it is easy to understand why so many people flock to its stout doors year after year. Strategically located on its own little island, overlooking the Isle of Skye, at the point where three great sea-lochs meet, and surrounded by the majestic splendour of the forested mountains of Kintail, Eilean Donan’s setting is truly breath-taking.</span></div>

Crossing the bridge to today’s castle, the fourth version, you can clearly understand why Bishop Donan chose the tranquil spot back in 634AD to settle on it and create a monastic cell. The first castle was later established in the 13<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> century by Alexander <span style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Bell MT', serif; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">II</span> in an effort to help protect the area from Viking incursions. At this stage in history the original castle encompassed the entire island and is believed to have been constructed with seven towers connected by a massive curtain wall. Over the centuries, the castle contracted and expanded for reasons that still remain a mystery to this day, until 1719 when it was involved in one of the lesser known Jacobite uprisings. When the British Government learned that the castle was occupied by Jacobite leaders along with a garrison of Spanish soldiers, three Royal Navy frigates were sent to deal with the uprising. On the 10<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> of May 1719, the three heavily armed warships moored a short distance off the castle and bombarded it with cannon. With walls of up to 5 metres thick, these cannon had little impact, but eventually the castle was overwhelmed by force. Discovering 343 barrels of gunpowder inside, the Commanding officer gave orders to blow the castle up; following which Eilean Donan lay in silent ruin for the best part of two hundred years.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.35em;">The castle that visitors enjoy so much today was reconstructed as a family home between 1912 and 1932 by Lt Col John MacRae-Gilstrap, and incorporated much of the ruins from the 1719 destruction. At this point the bridge was added; a structure that is as much a part of the classic image as the very castle itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.35em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Visitors now have the opportunity to wander round most of the fabulous internal rooms of the castle viewing period furniture, Jacobean artefacts, displays of weapons and fine art. Historical interest and heritage are in abundance with informed guides happy to share a wealth of knowledge. Extremely popular with families, a visit to Eilean Donan promises lots of fun for the kids whether it be swinging a Claymore, spying through the spy holes, lifting the cannon balls, gazing at the fearsome portcullis or exploring the ancient battlements. Wildlife surrounds the island too, with regular viewings of porpoise, dolphins, otters and birdlife. For those feeling particularly romantic, weddings can even be arranged inside the beautiful Banqueting Hall.</div>

In short, there are numerous reasons why Eilean Donan enjoys such romantic and iconic status in the hearts of our nation and it’s visitors, but to understand what’s at its’ core you have to go and discover it for yourself.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">In 1924, the then-luxurious Hotel (Refugio d)el Salto opened on the cliff facing the waterfall to welcome wealthy travelers visiting the Tequendama Falls area. The hotel closed down in the early 90s, thought to be linked to contaminated river water. There has been talk of reopening it and restoring it to its former glory (but as a museum or even a police station) which might help rid the place of its apparent ghosts. They are said to haunt the hotel and according to the caretaker, are believed to be from the old days when bar fights on the second story would end up on its balcony, sometimes resulting in a drunk patron losing more than the fight. </span></div>

Right in the middle of a small forest near Chatillon, a little village in Southern Belgium, is a graveyard of abandoned and beautiful rusty cars. These cars once belonged to US soldiers who were stationed in this region. It’s not known how they managed to acquire these beauties in the middle of the war. When the World War II ended, all military troops were sent back to the US, but the cost of having all those cars shipped was way too expensive. The ranking officers decided to leave all the cars in Belgium. The cars were driven up a hill, one by one, nicely parked and somehow hidden from the outside world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
Once back home in the US, the soldiers who wanted to retrieve their car had to take personal responsibility for all costs of the shipping. Not a single car was retrieved.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
At one point there were four car graveyards around Chatillon, and as many as 500 vehicles. Only one remain today. Over time, corrosion and decay have worn down the vehicles and what little remained were stolen by the locals and car collectors.</div>

<b>Lake Toplitz</b> (German: <i>Toplitzsee</i>) is a lake situated in a dense mountain forest high up in the Austrian Alps, 98 km (61 mi) from Salzburg in western Austria. It is surrounded by cliffs and forests in the Salzkammergut lake district, within the Totes Gebirge (dead mountains). The Toplitzsee water contains no oxygen below a depth of 20m. Fish can survive only in the top 18m, as the water below 20m is salty, although bacteria and worms have been found below 20m that can live without oxygen.</div>
<div style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: start;">
During 1943-44, the shore of Lake Toplitz served as a Nazi naval testing station. Using copper diaphragms, scientists experimented with different explosives, detonating up to 4,000 kg charges at various depths. They also fired torpedoes from a launching pad in the lake into the Tote Mountains, producing vast holes in the canyon walls. Millions of counterfeit pound sterling notes (£100+ million) were dumped in the lake after Operation Bernhard, which was never fully put into action. There is speculation that there might be other valuables to be recovered from the bottom of the Toplitzsee. The speculation is due to there being a layer of sunken logs floating half way to the bottom of the lake, making diving beyond it hazardous or impossible. Gerhard Zauner, one of the divers on the 1959 expedition reports that he saw a sunken aircraft below this layer.</div>

The area is accessible only on foot by a mile-long path, as the K-Mautner-Weg is a private road that serves the Fisherman's Hut restaurant at the western end.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Curon in the tri-border region Italy-Austria-Switzerland comprises the Lago di Resia, Lago di S. Valentino and the Vallelunga valley.</span></h2>
<div style="color: #666666; text-align: left;">
<div class="content_text eightcol" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 580px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The steeple that soars from the waters of the Lago di Resia is considered the symbol of the upper Val Venosta. However, the municipality of Curon has got much more to offer than Lake Resia and Lago di S. Valentino farther south.</span></div>
<div class="content_text eightcol" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 580px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In summer this area is particularly popular with those who love cycling as the Via Claudia Augusta is one of the most frequented cycle tracks of Europe, stretching down towards Merano. If you love mountaineering, we recommend you the Vallelunga and the Val Roja, where hiking trails and Alpine routes stretch up the three-thousanderes at the border to Switzerland. This is also where the famous Palla Bianca glacier is located.</span></div>
<div class="content_text eightcol" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 580px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also in winter Curon in Alta Val Venosta is worth a visit. With Maseben, Belpiano and Malga S. Valentino, the municipality offers three skiing areas and is in part also connected to Nauders farther north. Not yet satisfied? Ice sailing, snow kiting, ice surfing at Lago Resia and a horse-drawn sleigh ride across the fariytale winter landscape make your holidays in Alta Val Venosta a special experience.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.600000381469727px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Japan’s abandoned theme park Gulliver’s Kingdom “…was located between Aokigarah and Kamikuishiki, two areas that have some of the most disturbing reputations in all of Japan. Aokigarah is better known to Westerners as “the suicide forest,” where around 100 people take their lives every year and annual searches are necessary to clear the area of all the corpses. Kamikuishiki was home to the Aum Shinriyko doomsday cult that was responsible for the 1995 Sarin gas attacks on the Tokyo subway that left 13 people dead. Aside from the ghastly reputation of Kamikuishiki, the village was plagued with the residual smell of the cult’s nerve gas factory  for up to five years after the factories were closed up—and the smell wafted all the way over to Gulliver’s Kingdom.” —Neatorama</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">First inhabited by Greeks during the 6th century AD, <b>Craco </b>was built 40 km (25 miles) inland and on a very steep summit for defensive reasons. During the following centuries, the town went under feudal control. A university was established in 1276 and by 1561 it had reached a population of 2,590 people.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">By 1799, the townspeople overthrew the feudal system and Craco became an independent municipality and later, part of the Kingdom of Italy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Soon though, the town started facing geological problems. By the beginning of the 20th century, hundreds of inhabidants had emigrated to north America due to poor agricultural conditions. A series of earthquakes and landslides followed in the next decades and in 1963 the entire population of 1,800 residents moved to Craco Peschiera for safety reasons. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Today, the ghost town of Craco is visited by many tourists as well as many old residents who return back to the their hometown for annual religious festivals. The image of Craco has been used over the years in various films as a background setting; Quantum of Solace and The Passion of the Christ, being two of them. </span></span></div>
