Decentralized Travel Ecosystem XcelTrip advises you to explore Kurjenrahka National Park and Turku castle


Kurjenrahka National Park 
Within easy reach of the historic town of Turku, the forests and marshes of Kurjenrahka are home to many wild animals and birds, including stately long-legged cranes and curious woodland owls. This national park was established in 1998 and covers about 29 km square. Kurjenrahka is beloved by many bird watchers as several species of birds such as the Eurasian wryneck, the chiffchaff or the osprey call the park their home.


Kurjenrahka National Park lies just outside the city limits of Turku and located west of road 204 (Turku - Yläne), about 35 km north of the City of Turku. Vaskijärvi Strict Nature Reserve is located about 10 km northwest of Kurjenrahka, north of road 2020 (Yläne - Mynämäki). Vaskijärvi is about 40 km from Turku. 

Turku castle
Turku Castle is a national monument and one of the most remarkable medieval castles in Finland. It is also one of the largest existing castles in Scandinavia. The history of Turku Castle begins in 1280. The Swedish conquerors of Finland originally planned it as a military fortress. 

 In 1614, when King Gustav II Adolf visited the castle, a huge fire almost completely destroyed the wooden structure of the main castle. After that, the main castle was abandoned and partially used as a store, and partially remained empty. In the 19th century, the castle was used as a prison. The last accident occurred in the castle in the summer of 1941, shortly after the continuation war began, when an incendiary bomb hit the main castle. Today Turku Castle is the most visited museum in Finland.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles. Arenal Volcano The Arenal Volcano National Park is found in the rugged

Visit the Stavropoleos Monastery and Cotroceni Palace by Cryptocurrency hotel booking at XcelTrip

Image
Cotroceni Palace This palace has a fascinating history. It began as a monastery in the 17th century, after which it became the summer residence of King Carol I. Constructed from 1888-93 at the behest of Romania's first king, Carol I, Cotroceni Palace has since 1991 been the official residence of the Romanian President. Built on the site of a former monastery (the foundations and cellars of which remain, and form part of the tour of the palace), the palace was designed by a French team of architects, led by Paul Gottereau. The design would form something of a blueprint for Romanian domestic architecture for years to come. It served as the Bucharest residence of the Romanian royal family until 1939. The part that serves today as the president's office, and official home, however, was added after the great Bucharest earthquake of 1977, and bears the stamp of local architect Nicolae Vladescu. Part of the palace is open to the public, and can be visited on a tour.
