This national park takes its name from the towering Mount Leuser with a height of 3404 meters above sea level in Aceh. This national park includes native ecosystems from the coast to high mountains covered by dense forests typical of tropical rain.

Nestled in the Val Colvera in the foothills of the Carnian Alps lies a charming little hamlet called Poffabro. A hamlet this small with its population of just 181 wouldn’t normally register on most visitors to the Friuli Venezia Giulia‘s itinerary, but for one month each Christmas seasons people come from far and wide. Poffabro Italy You see, Christmas in Italy is still very much a religious celebration about the birth of Christ. You won’t find huge Christmas light displays and department store windows dressed up with dazzling winter scenes, but you will find Nativity scenes (presepe in Italian) all over Italy. Poffabro started a tradition in 1997 with residents of the hamlet displaying Nativity scenes in the windows of their houses. Year after year, more and more of the residents would participate. Now more than 100 different Nativity scenes are displayed all around the Medieval hamlet. Some are tucked away in the residents’ windows, others displayed in front of buildings. You’ll find everything from the traditional to nativity scenes made from pasta or wine demijohns. Stop by the Poffabro Tourist Information Office (amazingly there is one and the kind woman working on the day we stopped in did speak English) to see the very first Nativity that was displayed. There’s also a small museum you can visit. There isn’t much else to see or do besides stroll around the village, but Poffabro is among the most beautiful villages of Italy as listed by Council for Tourism of the National Association of Italian Communes (ANCI). There are a few little local artisans that sell their wood crafts and Poffabro is also well known for the velvet slippers handmade by local craftsman. You can also stop in to the restaurant and try the local specialties like Frico, a cheese in brine that is fried in a pan, or the cured meats. #holidayvacation #staycation #merryxmas #holidayvacation#staycation#merryxmas

Cascata di Croses is a waterfall near Zomeais-Tarcento (north of Udine) in the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. From Tarcento drive north over road SR646 to Zomeais. In Zomeais you have to get to west side of the river and there turn right (Via Zimor). Park the car where it is possible. From here walk north over the road until it ends. Here begins a trail which lead to Cascata di Croses (5-10 minutes). Cascata di Croses is an unnatural waterfall in the river Torre. At the waterfall there is a manmade dam where the river Torre drops down over 15 meter. At the base of the base of the waterfall Cascata di Croses looks quite natural and is a perfect spot for a swim in the river. The waterfall is regulated so I really don’t know when the best time is to visit. #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

The remains of the kingdoms of seven different cities in Italy joined the World Heritage List, which is the royal and religious sites of the Kingdom of Lombardy (568-774 AD). The Lombardy Kingdom is a feudal kingdom founded by Lombards in northern Italy. The territory generally includes Lombardy, Venecia, Liguria and most of Tuscany in Italy. The Lombard was a member of the Germanic nation. In 568, it entered Italy under the Byzantine Empire and built the capital in Pavia, and later reached Central Italy. In the year 600 or so, under the guidance of Pope Gregory, Christianity was gradually established and a Lombard culture was gradually formed in Italy. It was not until 774 AD that Charlie the Great conquered Lombard and merged it into the Frankish kingdom before dying.

Cividale Del Friuli They seem to be two beautiful pearls, set on the top of the map of northeastern Italy, each showing its brilliance and giving off a different texture. Love them, not just because they are world heritage. Cividale is the kind of exquisite small city that belongs to the first beauty. Aquila exudes the gorgeous atmosphere of the ancient times, and the scale is not big. It can always be a leisurely stroll, which is always a plus factor.
