Some
places and regions of the world exert fascination and magic on many people
of our European cultural area. Legendary towns as Damascus and Jericho, places
of biblical occurences as Jerusalem, the lake Genezareth or areas storied by big
events. Some mystic places which we have discovered never found their way into
the minds of the people. The world holds a fascinating diversity and beauty
which open up not until you go by yourself to see it.
For
not everybody can fullfil his desire to explore other countries and cultures
we want to give a glimpse of some special areas of our journey. Places which
we regard worth to see and to visit and sometimes hold an originality which
causes surprises in our country.
