One Of The Cleanest Lakes In Germany Is A Quiet Bavarian Paradise Surrounded By Scenic Mountains - Islands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One look at Königssee is enough to make you gasp in awe. A long dash of green-blue water framed by towering peaks dusted with snow, it's often said to be Bavaria's best impression of the Norwegian fjords. Only there's no salty sea here, just pristine alpine water, soaring summits overhead, and pure, sublime nature in all its south German glory. The lake lies almost entirely within Berchtesgaden National Park. Here, towering peaks like the 8,900-foot Mount Watzmann loom over glacial valleys. Thic
Nestled In Mid Wales Is A Charming Town With Coastal Vibes, Tasty Eats, And Art - Islands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a town on the edge of Wales that's sandwiched between the rising ridges of the Cambrian Mountains and the white-capping, salt-spraying waters of the Irish Sea. It has beaches to its north and south, a vibey town center that bustles with shops, university students, and visitors at its heart, and historical landmarks that still echo with the turbulent story of medieval Wales. Its name? Aberystwyth, or just Aber for short. Although this is actually one of the biggest urban hubs in the whole

Lovely little Ambleside is a town of dark, slate-rock buildings and characterful local
Near Wales' Tallest Mountain Is A Quaint Village Inside A National Park With Shops, Pubs, And Nature Walks - Islands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Below the wild, windblown, and heather-tufted ridges of Eryri National Park, tucked into a wooded valley beside a babbling river and under the gaze of the great Yr Wyddfa massif, the bijou village of Beddgelert reigns as perhaps the most stirring and soulful place in the whole of Wales. Made famous by the legend of Prince Llywelyn and Gelert the hound, a story of loss and canine loyalty dating back to the 13th century, it is perhaps the perfect intro to the more mythic side of North Wales, and a
Northern California's Salt-Washed State Park Is A Stunning Coastal Paradise With Secluded Beaches And Hikes - Islands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While pretty much all of Northern California is perfect for anyone who loves rugged coastlines, one corner really stands out for its untamed beauty: Mendocino Headlands State Park. Sprawling across soaring cliffs around the village of Mendocino, it's got the ocean on three sides, secret little stretches of sand and pebbles, and panoramic lookouts that gaze over waters where whales sometimes make a cameo. On top of all that, an enticing web of hiking trails knits the whole place together — one pa
