There are many amazing sites to visit in Europe. Here are some natural wonders on the European continent that can take your breath away.
Algarve in Portugal
Known for water in endless shades of green and blue, golden beaches and tiny bays, Portugal’s southern Algarve region is a paradise of sun, sea and sand. Whether you wander around the coastline, take a boat tour of the sea or sunbathe on the soft golden sand while the waves gently lap at the shore, you’re sure to feel like you’re in heaven.
Las Médulas in Spain
The historic mining site of Las Médulas in the northwest of Spain is a dramatic example of ancient Roman technology. The region was rich in gold mines where the Romans extracted gold using hydraulic (液压的) power in the lst century, leaving behind a transformed landscape still visible today. With its burnt orange peaks and abundant greenery, it’s a perfect mix of natural and man-made scenery.
Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst between Hungary and Slovakia
The Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst are located between Hungary and Slovakia and contain 712 caves which spread out over 55,800 hectares. The caves are made of limestone (石灰石) and have high humidity, so dripping water has formed into stalactites (钟乳石) over millions of centuries, creating the decorations you can witness today.
Lake Hallstat in Austria
Located between Salzburg and Graz Hallstatt is a picturesque, 19th-century town in Austria’s Lake District featuring cottages, salt mines and ice caves. Situated in a settlement that dates back to the early Iron Age, it is one of the oldest settlements that were occupied in Europe.
