Canoe Canoeing
Croatia’s Innovative Tourism Project Welcome Continued Its Journey South On May Twenty-Eight 2011, Reaching The Picturesque Village Of Lombarda On The Island Of Korcula After A Combination Of Canoe And Bike Ride From Loviste On The Western Tip Of The Peljesac Promontory
The purpose of the project is to focus on Croatia’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and wide ranging tourism offer by travelling the length of the country using various journey sports methods of transport along a winding route which spells out the word “Welcome.” The route will be visible from Google Earth, permitting Croatian tourism to claim the title of the planet’s biggest welcome.
Leaving the protected bay at Loviste, the team headed to the island of Korcula by kayak, running into windy conditions in the open sea and, while they had to continue with caution at certain times it did not prevent them from socialising with numerous sea turtles whom they encountered on the route.
After a short swim, the team paddled to the town of Babina on the north coast, where a decision was made to modify the upcoming route after neighbors informed them about paths to a giant wooded ravine.
Making the switch to bikes, the Welcome team made their way to the little known Kocje nature park, a natural phenomenon not faced anywhere else on the trip. Kocje is a formidable collection of limestone rock, as high as 20m in parts, hidden by dense vegetation. The effect is a natural warren of tunnels, cracks and caves with lots of the rock covered in green moss.
Kojce has been declared a specially protected reserve of forest foliage, and some archaeologists believe it was inhabited by primeval man. A rather more interesting theory has been put forward by an Italian professor of mathematics and physics which places Kojce as the only entry point in the world for positive lines for magnetic force from Space.
Taking to the key road, the Welcome team continued their journey, finally arriving in the striking ancient walled town of Korcula, one of the finest saved stone cities on the coast. One of the key holiday maker attractions in that town is it is allegedly the birthplace of the great explorer Marco Polo, who would without doubt have counseled the initiative of the Welcome Project.
Cycling through the town’s streets, the team then headed straight for their last destination for the day, the little town of Lumbarda, where they completed the route for the letter “M” in the “Welcome” message. Due to some diversions from the planned route, particularly on the island of Hvar, the letter “M” is not as clear as the rest, but still extraordinarily understandable.
With just the letter “E” to go, the project is entering its last stages, with arrival in Dubrovnik lined up for June 3. The final stages include travelling along the Peljesac Promontory to Ston, before backtracking through the Bosnian Riviera (the one time the project leaves Croatia) to the border city of Metkovic, and then back to Peljesac and on to the island of Mljet before a final kayak effort to Dubrovnik, as reported tagza.com.
Croatia is really beautiful country and everyone who comes in this beautiful country, wish to have Croatia real estate. The Croatian real estate market is reasonably well developed. Croatian land and Croatian home prices are still uncommonly propitious, especially on the Dalmatian islands where properties such as beautiful Croatia stone homes built in the ordinary style.
Also in the beautiful Croatia consequential cities like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar or Korcula there are wonderful real estate and property chances to get prime location real estate at reasonable prices. Foreign interest in purchasing property in Croatia, including the miniscule islands, suddenly grew 2 years ago. Until then foreigners did not believe this was a market a smart idea to invest in property.
Broker real estate are experts in real estate and property in all areas of Croatia. Croatia has a large range of villas on Dalmatian islands, flats in pictoresque old towns, homes close to the fully clear Adriatic, homes or any type of property or property for development in the major holiday maker and holiday home areas of Croatia, including Dubrovnik and Istria.
The near term rental market will grow with the amount of returning vacation makers. Untouched, relaxed, tasty, and safe, Croatia is one of Europe’s loveliest treasures. Everything a discriminating visitor or house customer is looking for can be discovered here : clear as crystal seas, changeless fishing hamlets, and unspoiled beaches, Roman ruins, a spotless lake district, and medieval walled cities. Although real estate prices in Croatia have been increasing at a rate of between twenty percent and 30 % per annum in recent years, it’s still not too late to buy .
