🥇 Durbuy, the world's smallest city by @lesiopm

As I mentioned, situated in the southeastern Belgian province of Luxembourg Durbuy is promoted as the smallest city in the world, this tourist slogan is due to the franchise card given by King Jean de Bohème, Count of Luxembourg. He gave the city the status of a town on the Ourthe River in 1331. The old town of Durbuy alone has about 400 inhabitants. As many tourist slogans is has nothing with true, cause it is not the smallest town in the world, as it is the Croatian town of Hum with about 30 inhabitants.

🥈 ???? Somewhere on the Edge of the World. New Zealand. Part 9 by @sharker

And one of the most photogenic photogenic trees in the world grows here (at least the most photographed tree in New Zealand) — it's called That Wanaka Tree. If you could see how many photographers on the shore gather at sunset and dawn to catch that very shot of the tree! There are a lot of people with tripods)) Unfortunately, not so long ago this year, unknown vandals chopped off part of its branches, permanently changing its appearance

🥉 Travel Story: Labour, Hitchhiking and Banana Officer by @mrprofessor

A short ride later dropped me off in Los Antiguos, a town situated on the Argentinean side of the lake General Carrera ― known locally as Buenos Aires lake. That region sparked curiosity, since the town is notable for the cherries, and for being an oasis amid the steppe where farming dominated over the desert. For a fact, the Tehuelche natives named the mystical valley as I-Keu-Khon (place of the old). For them it was a sacred place, provided with critical resources for maintenance of life.
