The Pieniny Mountains, Poland

The Pieniny Mountains are located in the south of Poland and north of Slovakia. They may not be as popular as the Tatra Mountains, but they are really stunning and worth visiting. 

I recommend the Dunajec River Rafting which you can start in a small village Sromowce Wyżne. It is a great attraction and I personally love it. You can admire one of the peaks the Three Crowns while being on the raft, which you can later climb as the trail is not difficult. 

Below you can see some of the photos from the rafting.

Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh

During my first visit to Edinburgh, I didn't have enough time to go to Arthur's Seat, which is the main peak of the group of hills located in the centre of Edinburgh. I could only admire it from the bottom standing close to the Scottish Parliament. I wanted so much to climb it, but there was no time so I promised myself that one day when I come back to Edi, I will climb it. 

Calton Hill

Castle

I kept the promise and on a sunny summer day I climbed Arthur's Seat. I enjoyed it so much. Not only was I happy to climb or rather walk and be in contact with nature, but also all those views around me were so amazing. Few more steps up and you can see more and more including the sea. Arthur's Seat is a great place to walk, climb, relax, take pictures, read books, listen to music, go jogging or even ride a bike. 

I walked a lot and I even reached the highest peak, but I didn't choose the hardest route to get there. It reminded me of my nightmares about driving when the road is so vertical that it is impossible to drive. So instead of giving up on the way to the peak, I chose another longer and interesting route and reached it safely. 

In a nutshell, you can see a panorama of Edinburgh with all attractions like the castle, Calton Hill, the Parliament, the Holyrood Palace, the sea and whole beauty of the city.
