🥇 Discover the medieval city Yvoire [ENG-FR] by @barbara-orenya

The idea is to come for the whole day, because in addition to the city to visit (even if it is not very large), you will find here many restaurants which make tourists want to take advantage of the local specialty : perch fillets from the lake..... what is really very pretty and picturesque is that the shops are really integrated in the medieval city since they are inside very old stone buildings as you can see here

🥈 Cyclying to excavations in Sarafovo ????‍♀️ Actifit Report: April 10 by @vesytz

I visited the excavations of an early Christian church from the IV-VI centuries. The church was relatively small but rich in decoration. Color ceramics in five colors and murals were discovered. According to the head of the archeological mission, there are reports that in the twelfth century the temple was destroyed and a small chapel was built in its place, from which water with healing and miraculous properties once sprang.

🥉 Hiking Himalaya: The air so clear, the sky so wide by @koenau

In contrast to the Khumbu region around Everest and the routes to Annapurna Base Camp, the Langtang Valley is not only not overcrowded but almost empty. Tourists are hardly to be seen on the hiking trail, which always leads clearly along the river, because compared to the tourist hotspots of Nepal, the Langtang National Park is almost undiscovered until today.
