for this list we're looking at various
regions across europe that you should
consider for your next
trip they might not be the most
well-documented or
instantly recognizable destinations but
for those looking for a european holiday
off the beaten path
you could not ask for better number 10.
the ardennes belgium france and
luxembourg
our first pick actually extends across
international borders to touch
four different nations while belgium
france
germany and luxembourg each have
something unique to offer travelers
when they meet in the outden forest they
all come together to make a single
awe-inspiring environment
as you explore the alden you're sure to
be blown away
by the beauty of it all the verdant
landscape picturesque villages and
waterways are utterly enchanting
considering how peaceful it is today
it's hard to believe that the area
played a major role in world war ii
the diverse landscape provides ample
opportunity for hiking
cycling canoeing caving and even some
beer tasting
should you feel so inclined those
looking to enjoy the finer things will
surely appreciate the spas and the
region's cuisine
which is heavily influenced by local
game
number nine bahin slovenia what's the
first thing that comes to mind when you
think of slovenia
for the average traveler not a whole lot
a fascinating but altogether understated
country slovenia tends to fly under the
radar
those who have made the trip however
will tell you that it's a natural
paradise that
quite frankly they'd rather not have
everyone else get wise to
in the cities you'll find a wealth of
culture thoughtful
architecture and some truly excellent
and refined food
the highlight however is undoubtedly the
countryside
and nowhere is it more overwhelming than
in boheme
among europe's most sustainable hiking
destinations
it's a land of soaring snow-capped
mountains rolling hills and green
valleys
lake bohin is stunning and provides
plenty of opportunity for activities
should you make the trip in winter it
also makes for a great
ski getaway number eight lauterbrunnen
valley
switzerland what can we say we're
suckers for a picture-perfect valley
sharing its name with the quaint village
at its heart lauterbrunnen valley begs
to be photographed
if not committed to canvas by a master
painter the massive
impossibly deep and awe-inspiring valley
is actually so large
that it manages to accommodate a number
of hamlets
each with their own distinct charms
while the locals are welcoming the main
draw remains without a doubt the
landscape
which looks as if it's the handwork of
giants the sloping green fields are
suddenly interrupted by towering walls
of limestone
which are made all the more majestic for
the 72 waterfalls that come cascading
down them
lao to brunen isn't switzerland's top
destination
but it still gets more name recognition
than other regions on our list today
were this not the case it would
undoubtedly be higher in the ranking
number 7 the high tatri slovakia
like slovenia slovakia far too often
goes overlooked by international
travelers
its capital and largest city bratislava
boasts old world architecture to rival
that of even the prettiest cities of
western europe
bratislava castle which overlooks the
city is like something out of a fairy
tale
a nation of diverse offerings however
slovakia balances out that city appeal
with the natural
unspoiled beauty of the high today which
are too often overshadowed
by europe's more famous mountain ranges
the high tatri's tallest peak stands at
an impressive eight thousand
seven hundred and eleven feet and the
range encompasses
twenty peaks that exceed eight thousand
feet complementing the region's namesake
mountains are the numerous beautiful
lakes found in the area
winter summer or fall the quiet resort
towns that dot the area will make you
feel right at home
as you explore the high thought tree
number six
sfaniti georgia the republic of georgia
has been getting plenty of love in
recent years thanks to the ever-growing
popularity of tabilisi
but this diverse nation has more to
offer than the cultural wonders boutique
hotels and alluring nightlife of its
capital city
de bilisi has modernized in many ways
but leave the city limit and you soon
find a very different side of georgia
one best described as wild one can drive
across the country for hundreds upon
hundreds of miles
only coming across the occasional sign
of civilization
this is the caucasus as they were meant
to be experienced
but nowhere is this more true than
inspanity
here surrounded by towering mountains
and an impossibly big sky
historic towns and villages like mestia
ushkoli
and adishi never fail to make an
impression
svanaiti is unlike any other environment
you've explored before
number five toboroja romania
castle bran dracula transylvania
romania enjoys a healthy tourism
industry in no small part thanks to its
association with vampires and pop
culture
in dobroja however the works of bram
stoker couldn't be further from your
mind
here the dark ruby red beverage of
choice is wine
located along the coast of the black sea
and encompassing the danube delta
this romanian wine region is
characterized by its warm
sunny weather and infrequent rainfall
this allows the local growers to
cultivate a
wide range of grapes including regional
varieties like fetias niagara
and fatiazka alba as well as popular
international grapes like chardonnay and
cabernet sauvignon
more than just an underrated destination
for wine lovers however
though project is also considered to be
among the most beautiful landscapes in
all of western europe number 4. mulatal
luxembourg the micro state of luxembourg
makes our list
twice today but considering it shares
the afden with three other countries
we think the overlap is justifiable and
really it would be criminal to leave
mulattal off this list
the distinct hilly landscape has earned
the region the nickname
little switzerland located in eastern
luxembourg
mulletal is indeed very modest in size
it encompasses only about seven percent
of the country
and the entirety of luxembourg covers
less than a thousand square miles
be that as it may merlettal makes a big
impression
the area is characterized by dense
forest babbling brooks
otherworldly rock formations waterfalls
and more
in fall the colors are stunning the
murletal trail
makes for a truly inspiring hike estonia
the region's capital has a real fairy
tale quality to it
number three playtv lakes croatia
this mediterranean country has become an
it destination in recent years
with the beautiful architecture of
dubrovnik and its coastal location
it's easy to understand why as a result
of its popularity
dubrovnik sadly tends to get overcrowded
but croatia has much more to offer
beyond this buzzworthy city
like the platefeitze lakes many
travelers come and go from the country
without ever hearing about the lakes
let alone actually visiting and that's a
shame because this region is
truly stunning a national park and
unesco world heritage site
the platefizel lakes is a surreal
environment of rocky terrain
lush greenery awe-inspiring waterfalls
and of course
over a dozen pristine turquoise lakes as
you explore the park you're sure to be
mesmerized by the hundreds of waterfalls
that connect the various lakes
it's like some sort of gorgeous alien
world
number 2. umbria italy when people talk
about the beautiful
italian countryside they're almost
always referring to tuscany
and don't get us wrong those rolling
golden hills dotted with the area's
iconic cypress trees and traditional
villas
do make for an unforgettable sight but
because of its popularity
tuscany can get expensive crowded and a
little tired of tourists
the neighboring region of umbria however
feels remarkably uncompromised
its landscape though different is
nonetheless stunning in its own right
located in central italy the area never
fails to impress newcomers with its
numerous hilltop medieval towns
hilltop doesn't really do it justice
many of these towns are more accurately
perched atop cliffs orvieto with its
towering gothic cathedral is the most
impressive of the bunch in umbria the
local wine is full-bodied and
deliciously inexpensive
while the mouth-watering cuisine heavily
focuses on local game
and produce you haven't lived until
you've tried the region's wild boar
or truffles number one aragon spain
of all the countries on our list today
spain is the one perhaps
least in need of more tourism that being
said travelers continue to flock and
overcrowd only a handful of spots like
barcelona
seville and granada aragon by contrast
has been described as the most
consistently overlooked region in spain
and yet it's also among the country's
most beautiful here
travelers who venture off the beaten
path are rewarded with medieval villages
historic castles and a hearty helping of
romanesque churches to visit
in the regional capital of tharagotha
the country's famous nightlife goes
strong
and is all the more enjoyable for being
unburdened by mass tourism
on top of all that arahon is arguably
spain's greatest
natural playground the snow-capped
pyrenees flower-laden valleys and
waterfalls
coupled with the sparse population make
this an outdoor enthusiast's
dream getaway arahon truly has got it
all
