Until January I had no idea that there are actually military bunkers in the forest just few kilometers from my hometown. I have ridden around them on my bike many times but never actually saw them. They were build as part of the nearby military base and should have served as hiding places for the staff during the cold war. Exploring them in the fresh wet snow was kinda magical.

I'm stuck in my apartment with covid and it's supposed to be the hottest weekend of the year, so I thought it's a good idea to post a throwback to one of the coldest days of last year, when we visited Kutná Hora on the 26th of December.

A different face of Tuscany: geothermal natural park Biancane. Our last day in Tuscany we were kinda bored of the medieval towns and wanted to see something different, so I stumbled upon this geothermal park in the map. It was really different from the lush green hills, we suddenly entered desert like area with smoke coming from the ground. And it smelled like rotten eggs. But it was very interesting, I've actually never seen something like that before.

Volterra is actually quite close to the sea, so we were able to see the water thanks to the reflection of the sun setting down into it.

The main gate into the old town of Volterra is conveniently facing west, so the platform makes awesome sunsets. When the sun descends very low, it even reflects on the sea, which can be visible from here. Volterra was a true highlight of our Tuscany holiday.

On our way from Florence to Volterra we stopped in

On our way from Florence to Volterra we stopped in famous medieval city of San Gimignano, which was completely empty in the middle of December, even though the weather was magnificent, as basically our whole week in Tuscany. It features many towers and there used to be even more of those in the past.

The town of the Sirmione on the southernmost part

The town of the Sirmione on the southernmost part of Lago di Garda probably has it's peak season during summer, when locals occupy all local beaches. But to be honest, it was quite busy even in December and it was a really big contrast between rather cold Riva del Garda on North and this warm town with olive and palm trees.

If you're near Lago di Garda, this is the hidden g

If you're near Lago di Garda, this is the hidden gem you have to see. No picture can capture the magnificent monastery of Madonna della Corona, which is glued to the super steep rock above even steeper depths (or at least not at this light setting 😂). To enter it, you need to pass a tunnel in another rock. It's also not allowed to take pictures within the area, but it's really interesting place. Even the church has walls only on the gorge side - the other wall is simply the rock...

I'm always planning our holidays quite thoroughly, trying to find as many Poi's on our way as possible (though I admit on this December holiday I kinda failed in that because of lack of time due to our move to our new apartment), but you can't always capture everything and sometimes it's good to just go with the flow, or more specifically, with the recommendation of your house lady. She recommended us to visit a Christmas Market in a medieval village above Riva del Garda in Canale di Tenno and it was truly magical experience. In almost every ancient house there was a seller offering us his creations, be it jewellery or sausage.

Lakeside of Riva del Garda. Beautiful sceneries, only in December it's lit by sunshine only for short morning hours, then the sun moves and everything becomes kinda dark under the shadows of the mountains.

Our first stop of our December trip to Italy was northern part of beautiful Lago di Garda and this great pathway called Strada del Ponale, which lays on the hills surrounding the lake and was actually the first major road around it. Even it was cold, the weather conditions were otherwise great.
