To travel on motorways in Slovenia, from July 1 next year, will need to obtain the famous Vignette, famous at least among those who like to spend their holidays in Austria. This sort of sticker will travel across the Slovenian motorway network, which will be removed barriers for payment.

Two cartoons to date involved: one that applies for one year and costs 55 euros, and that goes for six months, which will cost 35 euros. The cleverly, those surprised by the road while running without cartoons, risk fines of between 300 and 800 euros. But now, if I have to go in Croatia, say in Rijeka, which way do I is not paying sticker?

On the southern shore of the river IJssel in the region Gelderland (about 70 km from Düsseldorf and 130 from Amsterdam), rises Bronkhorst which with its approximately 150 inhabitants is the smallest city of Holland. Born at the foot of the castle of the Lords of Bronkhorst, who in the Middle Ages were a powerful and influential family of landowners, today the town preserves the chapel and a number of homes with the facade steps and inlaid wood, while the castle, the walls of walls and channels citizens are almost completely disappeared.

A Bronkhorst deserves a visit Dickens museum that collects books and articles related to the curious life and works of English writer Charles Dickens in an original farm town. The characters born from the pen of the famous author resume life in a temporary exhibition of puppets size and, turning to Bronkhorst, do not be surprised if you then the impression of being able to meet Scrooge (the stingy protagonist of “A Christmas Carol”) and Mr.. Pickwick (the protagonist of his first novel “The Pickwick circle”)…

Around Bronkhorst can go hiking on foot or by bicycle to admire the typical Dutch landscape, alternating with several places of historical interest. You can stay in the hotel in the city, ‘Hotel Restaurant Herberg de Gouden Leeuw, to eat while you can choose between two restaurants!

A tip: you can get to Bronkhorst also by ferry from Brummen along the river IJssel with its evocative golene. This is an opportunity not be missed…

The splendid capital of Bavaria is preparing to shut down, the next June 14, well 850 candles! Its founding dates back to 1158 by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony; at Munichen consisted of a settlement of monks dedicated to prayer and work (not by chance that the emblem of the city depicts a monaco…). Henry did ignite sull’Isar the bridge along which passed the old road salt, controlled the Bishop of Freising, and built another that, passing on its territory, near Munichen, allowed to have a market proper. It was an official document signed by the Frederick Barbarossa on June 14, 1158 which was confirmed to the city of Monaco the right to market and mint coins.

It will be the motto “build bridges” to accompany throughout the summer, many events organized for this important occasion, as the reopening of Stadtmuseum and Cuvilliés Theater (one of the most beautiful baroque theatres in Germany who was recently renovated by the Free State of Bavaria), the Feast of the foundation in the city centre (associations with folk customs dell’Isargau Bavarian, while associations of zatterieri Bavaria implement a raft towed by horses), the Feast of the circle the historic center (other stations and representations invited viewers to take a trip theatrical, musical, sports and fun in time through the past, present and the future of the city) and the feast of bridges sull’Isar (a romantic festival along the river until late at night with music and a riot of lights on bridges and water, maintaining a theater between trees, dances along the embankments and air facilities in the park).

Here is the full programme of events that will accompany the festivities with dates and places, while here you can look for accommodation.

Of the speculation to which they may be the area on the border between Argentina and Brazil where the cascades of Iguazù (which were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO) there had spoken over two years ago Francis, when we told of the various projects building construction in the area.

Today learned that something is changing, or at least I hope so, the ecological sensitivity of the administrations of those countries if it is true that was rejected a project that would enable tourists to fly a balloon waterfalls. If you are wondering what is the problem with this project, may not have thought that balloons must while starting and landing somewhere, which in this case should occupy an area equal to 2.5 hectares of the park.

The ban was not absolute, however, since it seems that the company which submitted the project will be authorized to organize flights for tourists, into an occasion for special events, but without the installation of permanent structures.
