Green Lake - An Austrian Lake That Is Used for Hiking A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year. Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water. Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Take a look at the amazing images of the Green Lake, shot during the summer season: via Daily Mail Reddit Stumble

Glass Beach - The Dump You'll Want to Visit Before you say anything about the content of this article, I hate people who litter. I’ll judge you if I think you’re too lazy to recycle. I hate pollution and the death of our fragile ecosystems and all the rest. It’s like a little Inuksuk… I’ve been trolling around for lesser known landscapes to road trip to and explore, and stumbled across this chunk of multicoloured west coast paradise. These days, Glass Beach is a protected part of MacKerricher State Park, but in 1949, it was the site of an unrestricted dump. Eventually, California realized that dumping automobiles, appliances, toxic substances and razor sharp shards of glass into the water was probably a bad idea, and looked elsewhere for a dumping site. The beaches under the cliffs lay polluted, cluttered and ruined, and were basically treated as a forgotten ‘mistake.’

How To Speak Italian And Not Sound Like A Tourist In Italy |Select Italy Blog If you’re heading to Italy, don’t be the person who doesn’t know a word of italian! Remember the old saying : when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That means that it’s worth the effort to try and fit in with the Italians and, like anywhere else, rhetoric is the key to getting things done – just as long as you know how to use it. “Allora” All-or-ah Not often used as a conversation starter, ‘allora’ is perfect for keeping interest during debate and discussion. “Boh” Bo Clearly, slang is one of the most important aspects of fitting in. “Andiamo” On-Di-Ah-Mo You’ll be rushing when you get to Italy. “Basta” Bas-Ta You’re tired, it’s been a long day, or your full and the waiters are still bringing out more food. “Quanto Costa” Ku-anto Cost-ah ‘Quanto Costa’ is how you ask for prices in Italy and it is an invaluable tool if you’re, well, purchasing anything.

Backpack Europe on Budget--Backpacking and travel info for budget travelers. 12 of the World's Most Fascinating Cemeteries | BootsnAll Travel Arti... - StumbleUpon Human beings have honored their dead since the dawn of time – even Neanderthals buried the fallen.
