Haselbach Germany is where one of the most beautiful open parks in the world is located. The Bavarian Forest is home to many wild animals that roam around on its open plains and sheltered areas by the towering trees. The forest is open for people to hike through and see the true beauty of nature. There are multiple paths that lead the travelers through the amazing sights and scenery of the forest. Along the way you can see the huge trees, mountains, and rivers of all sizes, and even some of the animals.
This Tree Top Walk allows people to get a higher and higher look over the landscape, it towers 150 feet into the air. Being able to walk through the forest and then being able to tower among the ground just like the enormous trees would be a great experience. This forest is definitely a place to admire nature and the calmness of the world. One day this would be amazing to be able to escape to.
This next destination is one that is very personal to me. One that I have been to before, and one that I often dream of returning to. It is a little cottage right before the shore of one of the Great Lakes, in Northeast Pennsylvania. This is where I grew up, where my family comes together every year, the place where I truly feel at home. For me there will most likely never be a substitute for this place.
No matter how old I get and the new places that I come across, the feeling of sitting on the sand and looking out on the calm waters of Lake Erie will always hold a special place in my heart. The memories made here over the years and years that my family has enjoyed its relaxing atmosphere will never be forgotten. It is not just a place to escape to but for me it is a place to remember. To remember the family members that have been lost and to create new memories that will never be forgotten.
The photo above is one that I took myself when I was sitting on our cottage's porch next to my grandfather. This was the summer before my sophomore year of high school and I can remember my grandfather telling me to enjoy my high school years as they go by quick and soon enough I will be in college and on to bigger things. Looking back I can see how right he was. Unfortunately, my grandfather never got to see me go on to those bigger things as he passed away in October of that same year. But since I have such great memories with him, Lake Erie will always be a place that I can go to and remember the great times that I have had.
Traveling 7,972 feet up, hiking through the mountains, this destination is much unlike the typical desired island or busy populated city. The wonderful land of Machu Picchu sits tucked away on the rocky countryside of Peru. The rock work making up the walls that guide you through the paths and all around the village blend right in to the natural theme of the whole land. Going to Machu Picchu is like entering a whole new world separate from the chaotic one most people live in.
There are wide open spaces and amazing views that are supplied by the mountains and open plains. The sunsets and sunrises seen from the top of the mountain are two things that are too beautiful to be described and not seen for oneself. Machu Picchu is definitely another perfect place to escape to.
