#1 Kayaking, Aukštaitija National Park, Lithuania

First, @ctdots takes us Aukštaitija National Park in Lithuania, which is famous for its lakes and stream labyrinths. The size of Vienna, this park contains 126 lakes, 116 villages, a river and 17 streams. Despite this, 70% of the area is still covered by forest. During his two day trip, @ctdots paddles 29km, showing us the natural beauty and diversity of the park, as well as the amazing sunsets.

#2 The bone church, Kutna Hora, Czech

Next, @izzynoel takes us to Kutna Hora, near Prague, Czech, to show us around Sedlec Ossuary—the infamous church decorated with human bones. In the 1500s, 40,000 bodies were dug up due to over-crowding. It seems that they were put to use in the form of interior design. This includes a coat-of-arms and a chandelier made from every bone in the human body. Although smaller than one might expect, the church packs a punch with its decorations.

#3 The Tunnels, Nera Gorges, Romania

Lastly, @gabrielatravels takes us to the tunnels along the Nera Gorges, Romania. This one-hour walk along the Nera River leads through to seven spectacular tunnels digging into the mountains. Some of them are silent and welcoming while others are more challenging requiring you cross on your knees due to their height. Go when it's dry to minimise risks of slipping over or the tunnels filling up with water.
