The most beautiful places in the world are often the most difficult to reach. Whether they are hidden mountain valleys, pristine beaches or remote viewpoints, they are reached by a steep road, narrow paths or long hours of travel. But this very difficulty makes them even more special - because what is easily obtained is rarely appreciated enough. Every obstacle along the way only heightens the sense of satisfaction when we finally arrive and see the breathtaking sight. Perhaps that very distance is their protection, keeping their magic intact for those willing to make the journey.
