Hardanger Gjestegard is located close to the Hardanger Fjord i Norway. It is an old apple cider brewery that has been changed into a beautiful little apartment hotel by the owners own hands. Per and Torild Maelen have put their heart warming and friendly soul into every little nail and paint brush stroke so that the guests feel like home from the secont they put their feet there. A perfect place for families. Several people from Germany, Italy, Holland and other countries return to this fantastic place every year. First having been ther, you´ll never forget it. Prizes are resonable too! Personally I must visit this place at least two times every year. I´m addicted.

The oldest spring of Carlsbad (Karlovy Vary) is situated in the "Hot Springs Colonnade". In a building from the 60s you find a Geysir with hot mineral water and some other healing springs. In the centre of the foyer stands a mighty statue of "Hygiea", the Greek goddess of the health. In the small shops inside the Colonnade you can buy souvenirs, drinking cups, bath salts, Carlsbad-Oblaten, fossilized roses, tourist brochures, videos, city guides and much more.
