🥇 Exploring Barcelona's Hidden Gem | The Enchanting Horta Labyrinth Park by @alcibiades

Our next stop in the Barcelona chronicles is Parc del Laberint d'Horta, I'll call it short The Labyrinth park, to avoid confusion. It is a little less popular destination because it's outside the city center and, it seems to me, the organizers over there like having less tourists roaming around so they don't promote it too much. Ticket to enter the site is only 2.23 euros which is nothing compared to other locations where prices go from 10 to 30 euros or more.

🥈 Around Iran no. 5 – Kashan by @olusiu

After visiting two huge cities, Tabriz and Tehran, it was time to visit another city, this time much smaller, I would even say the city of Kashan, tailored to a European scale. This city with 220,000 inhabitants is located in the desert halfway between Tehran and Isfahan. The city has a very ancient history, as the first traces of settlement found here date back to 6000 BC. Within the city limits there is the archaeological site of Tepe Sialk, which is the oldest ziggurat in the world, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. Kashan became the site of such an ancient settlement, mainly because in this region there are numerous sources of water, which is invaluable in such a desert climate. An interesting fact related to Kashan is that it is said that the Three Kings set off from Kashan to Bethlehem.

🥉 Adventure at Burgbach Falls - A Fantastic Weekend in the Black Forest 🌲 by @rebet

Not far from the parking area, there's a small creek with ice-cold mountain water. It's called Burgbach and it rushes down these high cliffs, eventually reaching the Wolf River below. We found some shade and cooled off a bit, but we got quite sunburnt from being in the sun. The water was freezing cold. In this little cabin, there's a door and people have left notes and even photos. It's like a tiny shop. A bottle of beer is 3 euros, schnapps is 1.5 euros, or you can get liquor. There's also a drink called apple soda, a mix of apple juice and soda water. It's delightful a perfect spot to grab a drink and cool off along the way. There's even a small waterfall next to it!
