Additionally, it features two drops that reach a total height of around a 100-feet.<\/p>\n<p>However, what is truly unique about this waterfall is that you get a unique perspective of it from above, not below.\u00a0And while you can visit this amazing waterfall year-round, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/icelandtrippers.com\/gullfoss-waterfall-iceland\/\">Gullfoss Waterfall Iceland<\/a> has some viewpoints that should be avoided during inclement weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, while you can visit the viewing platform near the\u00a0Gullfoss Visitor Center all year long, the lower is treacherous and icy in the winter and is best avoided.\u00a0You can also avoid paying for the restroom here by making use of the one in the visitor center.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" alt=\"Europe Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-768x513.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 1 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green.jpg\" alt=\"Europe Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Gullfoss-Waterfall-Iceland-gullfoss-green-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 1 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Gulfoss Waterfall in Iceland, one of the most impressive natural wonders in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Icelands_Skogafoss\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Icelands_Skogafoss\"><\/span>Iceland\u2019s Skogafoss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Pamela from The Directionally Challenged Traveler<\/p>\n<p>Skogafoss is a breathtaking waterfall located in southern Iceland near the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coast retreated several kilometers away, the cliffs remained. One of the most unique things about Skogafoss is that it comes directly from the Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull glaciers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that a man named Thrasi Th\u00f3r\u00f3lfsson first settled in the area and hid gold underneath the waterfall. Three men tried to retrieve it, but the ring of the handle broke (and is now at the Sk\u00f3gar Folk Museum). When the sun shines on Skogafoss, you can still see a glimmer of gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Skogafoss, one of the most\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/directionallychallengedtraveler.com\/beautiful-waterfalls-in-iceland\/\">beautiful waterfalls in Iceland<\/a>, is located in the south along the Ring Road. It\u2019s a two-hour drive from Reykjavik, and you can see the waterfall from the road. There is plenty of free parking available.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can walk right up to the waterfall but be careful of the powerful spray. There is a hiking path on the side of the waterfall that you can climb to the top.

You can also get there by train or with a tour company. However, traveling on your own will allow you to explore many hidden places in southern England.<\/p>\n<p>This coastal region has a 185-million-year history and impressive geology. If you want to admire natural wonders from Triassic, Cretaceous, and Jurassic periods, there is no better place to visit. It is also a significant area to study fossils.<\/p>\n<p>Spectacular cliffs and sandy beaches spanning 95 miles on the English coast will take your breath away. This is an ideal destination for hiking or relaxing during summer. Furthermore, it is a dream location for photographers due to the dramatic coast that has been shaped by the sea for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the top spots to visit include Old Harry Rocks, Lulworth Cove, Exmouth, and the iconic Durdle Door. When traveling to Jurassic Coast, make sure to spend there a lot of time as this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has plenty to offer for its visitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" alt=\"Cool natural landmarks in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-768x539.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 5 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Cool natural landmarks in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Durdle-Door-Europe-Natural-wonders-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 5 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Jurassic Coast in England<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isle_of_Skye_Scotland\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isle_of_Skye_Scotland\"><\/span>Isle of Skye, Scotland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Moumita from\u00a0Chasing the Long Road<\/p>\n<p>The Isle of Skye is a stunningly beautiful island in the Inner Hebrides of northwest Scotland.

It is a web of small waterfalls renowned for clear turquoise blue water against the backdrop of majestic mountain ranges of the Cuillin Mountains. Apart from marveling at the view, you can take a dip in the water in summer.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic pinnacles of Old Man of Storr on the Trotternish peninsula are one of the best-known rock formations in Britain. Also, not too far from there is the Quiraing \u2013 one of the most dramatic landscapes in Skye.

They are stunning sea cliffs that rise above the Atlantic Ocean, located in the west of Ireland in County Clare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Cliffs of Moher are arguably the best natural landmark in Ireland, famous for their dramatic beauty. The cliffs run for about 14km (9mi) and reach 214m (702ft) at their highest point. The most typical way to view the Cliffs is to walk along the top, though you can take a boat tour to view them from sea level as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark were designated as a UNESCO site in 2015 in part for its rare natural habitats and unique floral collections (over 70% of Ireland\u2019s species of flowers are found in the Burren) that are not found anywhere else on Earth. In addition, the area has remains of human settlements that are over 6000 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to see the Cliffs of Moher is to spend some time in the west of Ireland and stay in either Galway or the small town of Doolin.

These distances make a day trip possible, but the national park is best appreciated with a two-day visit. A two-day pass permits exploration of the higher trails that offer spectacular views and hiking the more popular boardwalks and trails before and after day trippers arrive and depart. It also means entering when the park opens and staying until it closes, with opportunities to photograph in various shades of light.<\/p>\n<p>Having a vehicle makes it easier to enjoy the local hospitality and home-cooked meals offered by the many private accommodation providers located outside the park. There are four hotels within the park, so this is another option, along with Borje Camp, which opens in May for the season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Everything about Europe natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-6600\" width=\"886\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 13 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg\" alt=\"Everything about Europe natural wonders\" class=\"wp-image-6600\" width=\"886\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 13 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lake_Bled_Slovenia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lake_Bled_Slovenia\"><\/span>Lake Bled, Slovenia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Martha from May Cause Wanderlust<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Lake Bled is a special place in Slovenia.

To get a great view of the lake and the mountains, you can hike to a viewpoint such as Ojstrica Osojnica. And, of course, a great thing to do in Lake Bled is to take a boat out to the island to explore it. The water is so peaceful and serene!<\/p>\n<p>Lake Bled is in the northwest of Slovenia, and you can reach it from the capital Ljubljana by car, bus, or train. A bus is a good option for\u00a0many because it is fast and drops passengers very close to the lake.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Famous natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 14 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Famous natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Bled-Slovenia-Europe-Natural-wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 14 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Lake Bled in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pirin_National_Park_Bulgaria\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pirin_National_Park_Bulgaria\"><\/span>Pirin National Park, Bulgaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Laurel Robbins from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/monkeysandmountains.com\/\">Monkeys and Mountains Hiking Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pirin National Park is one of just three national parks in Bulgaria and is located in southwestern Bulgaria. The easiest and most convenient way to get there is by renting a car from Sofia to Bansko, one of the main entrances to the park. It\u2019s 155 km and takes about two hours. Bansko makes a great base if you\u2019re planning on doing day hikes or mountain biking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pirin is an incredible place for hiking, mountain biking, and other adventures. You\u2019ll find over 370 km of hiking trails, including the famed international E4, the 10,000 km long route. The terrain is quite rocky due to the elevation; most of the trails are over 2000 m \u2013 so even the easier hikes will be more difficult than what you may be used to. You\u2019ll also have the option to sleep in a rustic mountain hut if you choose to do a multi-day adventure.<\/p>\n<p>The park is a designated UNESCO site owing to its exceptional beauty with its limestone mountains, 70 glacial lakes, and extensive flora. It\u2019s home to approximately one-third of all of Bulgaria\u2019s plants, an incredible 1315, including the endangered black and white fir (Pinum peuce). You\u2019ll also find Bulgaria\u2019s oldest tree here \u2013 the Baykusheva Fir, which is an astonishing1300 years old!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" alt=\"Best natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-768x525.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 15 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures.jpg\" alt=\"Best natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pirin-National-Park-Monkeys-and-Mountains-Hiking-Adventures-768x525.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 15 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Pirin National Park in Bulgaria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_in_Europe_%E2%80%93_Iberian_Peninsula\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_wonders_in_Europe_-_Iberian_Peninsula\"><\/span>Natural wonders in Europe \u2013 Iberian Peninsula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rock_of_Gibraltar_Gibraltar\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rock_of_Gibraltar_Gibraltar\"><\/span>Rock of Gibraltar, Gibraltar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Alison Nicholson from Alison on Foot<\/p>\n<p>Standing at over 400m tall, the Rock of Gibraltar looms over this British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of Spain and, whether you arrive by land, sea, or air, is an unmissable sight.<\/p>\n<p>The Rock of Gibraltar was formed millions of years ago, and not only is it impressive from the outside, but it has a rich history inside, too, including St Michael\u2019s Cave with its huge caverns of stalagmites and stalactites and the Great Siege Tunnels, which were dug out by the British Army in the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, evidence of Neanderthal Man was unearthed during excavations in Gorham\u2019s Cave Complex, which led to the area being granted UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Reaching the top of the Rock is a highlight of any visit to Gibraltar.

The famous coastline in the south of Portugal is known for its amazing beaches and the beautiful limestone cliffs all along the coast lining the turquoise ocean. The massive rock faces create stunning scenery with unique rock formations and impressive sea caves.<\/p>\n<p>The erosion of the sandstone created the massive Benagil sea cave over millions of years. The roof of the cave makes it different. A wide-open hole in the center of the roof, known as \u2018the eye,\u2019 lets natural light into the cave. Inside the cave, there is a small beach that is popular for taking photos.<\/p>\n<p>Reaching the Benagil cave is part of the adventure. Since the cave faces the ocean, it can only be reached from the water. Getting into the cave from the ocean can be accomplished in several ways; a boat trip, kayak, Stand Up Paddle, or even swimming; definitely something for everyone to enjoy. If you enter the cave on a boat trip, you are not allowed to leave the boat. To walk on the beach, you have to paddle or swim to the cave.<\/p>\n<p>The cave opening faces the ocean about 200m to the east of the small village of Benagil between two beaches, Praia de Benagil and Praia da Marinha. There are plenty of boat tours departing from Lagos, Portim\u00e3o, Albufeira, Vilamoura, Arma\u00e7\u00e3o de P\u00eara, Quarteira and Benagil itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Important natural marks in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 17 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Important natural marks in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Benagil-Cave-Europe-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 17 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Benagil cave in Portugal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sierra_Nevada_National_Park_Spain\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sierra_Nevada_National_Park_Spain\"><\/span>Sierra Nevada National Park, Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Linn Haglund from Amused by Andalucia<\/p>\n<p>One of the most spectacular natural wonders you will find in Europe is the Sierra Nevada National Park in southern Spain. It spans an area of nearly 86.000 hectares through the Granada and Almeria provinces, the latter being less known. Most people typically spend\u00a0<strong>one day in Granada<\/strong>\u00a0and then use it as a base for discovering the national park as the historical city is set right on the outskirts of the park. So are a lot of other charming villages like Monachil, Capileira, and Trevelez.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to reach the park is by car, though the mentioned villages can be reached by bus and from there you can strap on your hiking boots and get lost for weeks sleeping in mountain huts. The variety of the lower mountains takes you through lush forested areas, past waterfalls, and through rivers, and the higher mountains show off a more hostile side with bare, rough, rocky terrain and packs of curious mountain goats showing off views for kilometers making the Sierra Nevada National Park incredibly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The natural park hosts the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula, Mulhacen (3479 meters above sea level), as well as a few others of mainland Spain\u2019s highest peaks like Veleta, which is where the skiing slopes go down from in the winter months.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Sierra Nevada Amused by Andalucia 30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 18 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra Nevada Amused by Andalucia 30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sierra-Nevada-Amused-by-Andalucia-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 18 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Wonders_Europe_%E2%80%93_Italy\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Wonders_Europe_-_Italy\"><\/span>Natural Wonders Europe \u2013 Italy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Vesuvius\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Vesuvius\"><\/span>Mount Vesuvius<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Monique from Trip Anthropologist<\/p>\n<p>Vesuvius is known throughout the world as the volcano that exploded and covered the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, and several other settlements in 79 AD. Mount Vesuvius lies on the Bay of Naples in southern Italy (Campania) within Vesuvius National Park.<\/p>\n<p>3 million people live around Mt Vesuvius, which grows in height after each eruption and is considered one of the most dangerous active volcanoes in the world that will erupt again. There have been 21 eruptions since 1660, the last was in 1944. This means that the volcano has different regions, including Mount Somma (at 600m above sea level), Valle de Gigante (Valley of the Giants), the cone of the volcano, and the crater.<\/p>\n<p>Vesuvius is a young volcano that has one of the greatest effects of any volcano upon the lives of people living on its slopes and in its shadow. It continues to grow and change \u2013 before the eruption of 1631, there were forests and three lakes inside the crater!<\/p>\n<p>The enormous crater is 600 meters across and over 300 meters deep. 9 Hiking trails lead around the volcano to the crater, where lookouts allow you to peer into the crater. The National Park has a flat entrance fee, and you can hike from the main car park and bus stop to the crater.\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tripanthropologist.com\/visiting-pompeii-and-mt-vesuvius\/\">Day trips to Vesuvius and Pompeii are very popular.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"633\" alt=\"Best nature attractions in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-768x475.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 19 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Best nature attractions in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mt-vesuvius-Italy-Europe-Nature-wonders-768x475.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 19 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Mount Vesuvius- the volcano that exploded and covered Pompeii in Italy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cascate_del_Mulino_%E2%80%93_Saturnia_Hot_Springs\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cascate_del_Mulino_-_Saturnia_Hot_Springs\"><\/span>Cascate del Mulino \u2013 Saturnia Hot Springs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Tori from Tori Pines Travels<\/p>\n<p>Located in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy, the Saturnia hot springs are one of Europe\u2019s most picturesque natural wonders. Heated underground, the water emerges at a perfect 99 degrees Fahrenheit, runs down the hills, and creates dozens of natural pools to bathe in. The water is bright blue and has the most stunning backdrop of the Tuscan hillside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things you should know before <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/toripinestravels.com\/visit-the-tuscany-hot-springs-in-saturnia-italy\/\">visiting the Tuscany hot springs, <\/a>like the fact that there is sulfur in the water, so you will smell it in the air around the springs. It\u2019s not terribly strong, but not the best smell either. Thanks to the sulfur and other minerals in the water, a dip in the pools is thought to be healing to the body. Whether it truly heals or not, it is an incredible free spa day that you won\u2019t want to miss out on.<\/p>\n<p>Getting there is easy, but it is not close to any of the major cities, so you will need a car. Rent a car from Rome and drive 2 hours and 15 minutes north, or leave from Florence and drive 2 hours and 45 minutes south. The drive is almost as enjoyable as the hot springs, surrounded by green hills and vineyards and popping in and out of hilltop villages all along the way.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 20 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Saturnia-Hot-Springs-Italy-Europe-Natural-Wonders-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 20 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Saturnia Hot Springs in Italy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dolomites\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dolomites\"><\/span>Dolomites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Lori Sorrentino from Travlin mad<\/p>\n<p>Northern Italy has more than its share of breathtaking landscapes with craggy peaks, azure lakes, and mule paths cutting their way through mountain passes to the impossibly adorable towns that lie nestled in the nooks and crannies below.<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, it\u2019s the Italian Dolomites that create the backdrop to so many images of northern Italy travel destinations.

It is unique because it is almost 620 feet (190 m) deep at its deepest point and is sparklingly clean. The lake is a beautiful emerald green color and is surrounded by steep mountainsides, giving it the appearance of a fjord. In Germany, Lake Konigssee is often referred to as nature\u2019s own masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p>What makes Konigssee prettier is the presence of a picturesque onion-domed church of St. Bartholomew that stands on a peninsula halfway down the lake. You can get to the church and onwards to Lake Obersee by riding an electric boat (only electric ferries have been allowed on Konigssee since 1909 to retain the lake\u2019s water quality). The boat ride is magical because the oarsman plays his harmonica throughout the ride, and the music echoes all over because of the presence of sheer mountain cliffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To get to Konigssee, take a DB train from Munich to Berchtesgaden and then a bus from Berchtesgaden bus stop to Jennerbahn. You can also drive or join a guided tour to get there.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"famous nature landmarks of Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 22 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"famous nature landmarks of Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Lake-Konigssee-Germany-Europe-natural-wonders-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 22 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Lake Konigssee in Germany<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spreewald_forest\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spreewald_forest\"><\/span>Spreewald forest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Ali from Berlin Travel Tips<\/p>\n<p>The Spreewald forest might not be as well known as Germany\u2019s Black Forest, but it\u2019s just as gorgeous. This UNESCO biosphere reserve is great for outdoor lovers, and it\u2019s a protected habitat for thousands of animal and plant species. The waterways have been used for farming, fishing, and transportation for centuries. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The forest gets its name from the Spree River, which runs north through the region and up through Berlin. This is a popular place for outdoor activities. You can take a tour on a flat-bottomed punt boat to get to know the region. Or, if you\u2019d prefer to explore on your own, you can rent a canoe or kayak. You can also enjoy this natural wonder on one of many hiking trails or cycling trails, most of which are pretty flat.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the outdoor activities, Spreewald is also famous for its delicious pickles. These are some of the most famous pickles in Germany, so be sure to try some while you\u2019re here. In the center of L\u00fcbbenau, there are a few stalls dubbed Gherkin Mile where you can try and purchase a wide variety of pickles. The L\u00fcbbenau Spreewald tourism office even has a cycling pickle tour.<\/p>\n<p>There are several towns in the Spreewald, but L\u00fcbbenau is one of the easier ones to visit. You can easily\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/berlintraveltips.com\/spreewald-day-trip-from-berlin-how-to-visit-luebbenau\/\">get to the Spreewald from Berlin<\/a>\u00a0in about an hour by taking the RE2 train south.

This imposing natural gem is located in the province of Salzburg, near\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/zell-am-see-austria\/\">Zell am See<\/a>, and is a popular destination for day trips from Vienna and other Austrian cities. Unique and famous, the Krimml Waterfalls are known for their incredible drop height of 380 meters! Thus, this waterfall is one of the highest waterfalls in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>During a visit, you should definitely hike the dreamlike waterfall trail. This is a 100-year-old hiking trail that winds in serpentine along the Krimml waterfall. Along the way, you can enjoy an insanely beautiful view of the falls and the green landscape in the valley. But not only that! This natural wonder is also healthy because the aerosol of the waterfall is also said to have a healing effect, especially for respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The ticket office opens only at 8:00 in the morning, but you can visit the waterfall at any time and pay the entrance fee even later. If you like, you can also visit the nearby Krimml Water Worlds, which is especially interesting for children.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the Krimml Waterfalls is possible from May to the end of October. In winter, you can only visit the lower part of this natural wonder, the waterfall path remains closed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 27 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader.jpg\" alt=\"Natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Waterfalls-Krimml-@Jurgen-Reichenpfader-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 27 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Krimml Waterfalls, Austria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bialowieza_National_Park_Poland\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bialowieza_National_Park_Poland\"><\/span>Bialowieza National Park, Poland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Dee from Vanilla Papers<\/p>\n<p>Bialowieza National Park is a lush, centuries-old forest in eastern Poland that\u2019s the largest surviving stretch of the primeval forest that once covered most of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Undisturbed for centuries, Bialowieza is a remarkably preserved primary forest dotted with enormous conifers and broad-leaved trees.

Specifically, if you head to the beautiful mountain area of Grindelwald, you will think you stepped right into a scene from Heidi. Towering over this beautiful, picturesque town full of wooden\u00a0Swiss chalet-style buildings is some of the most beautiful mountain range that including the Eiger.<\/p>\n<p>But your eyes are quickly drawn to one of Europe\u2019s most natural wonders, the Grindelwald Glacier. While this incredible beautiful phenomenon is a site to see, it is a bit of a sad tail when you see postcards and evidence from years ago when the glacier extended down the valley where you could easily touch it. But what remains of the glacier is still a site to behold, and one you feel very close to just being in Grindelwald.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, if you want to get closer\u00a0to it, you can certainly do\u00a0so. From the center of town, you can ride a cable car up to Pfingstegg, where you can begin your hike to the Baregg Hut, a cliffside restaurant with a spectacular view of the Glacier.\u00a0This is approximately a 3 km round trip.\u00a0But there are some narrow trails and uneven ground, as well as steep uphills,\u00a0so it is not a simple stroll. Good hiking gear is strongly\u00a0suggested especially good hiking boots.\u00a0But it is considered a moderate hike.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can also visit the Grindelwald Glacier Canyon, which is a fascinating walk through tunnels, and rock formations, and you can even go out on a secured net over rushing water! It is a spectacular natural wonder in Europe and one to add to the bucket list!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Beautiful natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 30 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful natural wonders in Europe\" class=\"wp-image-27563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Grindelwald-Glacier-Europe-Natural-Wonders-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 30 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Grindelwald Glacier in Switzerland | Impressive natural landmarks in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pin it for later<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"30 Europe Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27578\" width=\"343\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders-100x150.jpg 100w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 31 natural wonders in europe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg\" alt=\"30 Europe Natural Wonders\" class=\"wp-image-27578\" width=\"343\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30-Europe-Natural-wonders-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" title=\"30 amazing Natural Wonders in Europe 31 natural wonders in europe\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text \" style=\"margin-bottom:10px\">\n        Sharing is caring!  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
