'Vineyards around Spitz.'
The Wachau is seen by many as the most beautiful part of the Danube. Indeed, it's hard to find a more romantic landscape between source and Black Sea. It's on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In the eastern part, from Spitz to Krems, wine rules. If you have the chance, visit the region in autumn. Everything is gold and you can see the grape pickers at work.

’River Var near Daluis.’
Two motorhomes above the Var valley near Daluis (Alpes-Maritimes, France). They are driving the panoramic route of the Gorges de Daluis, a spectacular canyon (outside the picture at left). The change from narrow gorge to broad valley (photo) has a geological origin: the rocks change from red slate (canyon) to limestone (picture).

’River Var near Daluis.’
After leaving the narrow Gorges de Daluis (not visible, at left) the Var valley stays very beautiful and natural. The riverbed has become larger because the rock changed from red slate (gorge) to limestone (picture). Alpes-Maritimes, France.

The valley is much wider here than the narrow Gorges de Daluis the river has just left, but still very beautiful and natural.

'Above Paria Canyon.'
Once layers of sand were deposited in desert dunes. Later they were covered by other materials, they petrified and surfaced again when the Colorado Plateau was uplifted and then eroded.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/106648567_MwSvA-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7714]

'Ruins of Aggstein castle.'
In the Aggstein stronghold lived robber baron Scheck. If you didn't pay toll for passing the Danube at the foot of his eyrie, you had the choice between the eight meters deep Hungerloch (hunger pit) or a jump from his Rosengärtlein, a nicely smelling balcony with one of the most beautiful views of the Wachau. Today you can enjoy this romantic panorama with a little less stress.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/51387820_m7Fts-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.NIEDER 03597]
