UNESCO world heritage sites from each continent

Asia
Ujung Kulon
The Ujung Kulon National Park on the southwestern tip of the island of Java was Indonesia's first national park. The great importance results from the species richness of the animal world, in particular the Java rhinos living there and the largest lowland rainforest on Java as well as the surrounding marine fauna.

Fasil Ghebbi is a fortified town in the Gonder region of Ethiopia and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the city was the residence of the Ethiopian Emperor Fasilidas, who built a residence for the rainy season. His successors continued to expand the city and palace.

This beautiful plant is convincing in all respects. With it‘s protruding side branches the Antarctic Beech shows a conspicuous and bizarre growth. Their fresh green leaves reach a size of three centimeters. Striking is the strongly wavy shape of the leaves. In autumn they turn into a beautiful green or yellow. As a solitary tree, this tree offers in the garden. With a final height of about ten meters, he is an impressive resident of the garden.





The Vlkolinec, Slovakia


I would like to visit the village Vlkolínec, because it looks very interesting and old-fashioned.

Vlkolínec, situated in the centre of Slovakia, is a remarkably intact settlement of 45 buildings with the traditional features of a central European village. It‘s the region’s most complete group of these kinds of traditional log houses, often found in mountainous areas.


In this village historical traditions, houses, habits and craftwork are preserved until today. The number of inhabitants today isn‘t more than twenty. It‘s a picturesque village because it‘s one of ten Slovak villages which has been granted a status of a folk architecture reservation, because the village is untouched and has preserved historical monuments from 15th century. Typical house consisted of pitvor - the typical corridor in the house, stall, chamber, main room and barns.

The historical atmosphere is revived also by the well in the center of the village. It used to be the only source of drinking water for the inhabitants.

Yours

Andrea
