🥇 Tasmania - The cleanest air I've ever breathed by @betterthanhome

Tasmania is not only known for being the only state in Australia that is not connected to the mainland. It is also known to have the cleanest air in the world. We were there for 3 weeks and can confirm this.Since it is easier to hike with clean air, we visited the Cradle-Mountain-Lake-St.-Clair-Nationalpark. In my opinion one of the most beautiful Nationalparks on the island and home to some absolutely breathtaking views. That´s the reason why it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Tasmanian Wilderness

🥈 What makes Châtillon unique: 360° Alps Landscape by @dexpartacus

One of the most esteemed and adored animals here is the cow, of course you can also find goats and sheep, but the cow here is considered and often treated like a queen.One of the most practiced sports in fact is the "battaille de reine", the fight between pregnant cows, which when they are in that state they become aggressive and they fight with their horns between them if put in front of each other, is a real sport that includes a regional championship with a final ceremony that almost resembles a cult. All this seasoned of course with lots of liters of wine, usually red.

🥉 Pavlovsky Park walk, part 1 by @qwerrie

This is a huge park, its territory is almost 600 hectares. It is considered one of the best landscape parks in Russia. The history of the park began in 1777, simultaneously with the founding of the town of same name, when Empress Catherine II donated a plot of land near Tsarskoye Selo to her son Pavel to honor the birth of the future Russian emperor Alexander I.Since the middle of the XVIII century, regular planned parks with a clear layout went out of fashion, and were replaced by landscape ones, without a clear geometric layout, neatly trimmed trees and bushes etc.
