Exceptionally attractive landscapes…
These spots generally are of exceptional beauty. Impressive trees, a fascinating course of a river or a striking view e.g. are the features of nature sports. It is also worth noticing the interplay of the four elements – air, earth, fire and water – on nature sports. If the four elements are well-balanced a certain harmony is the result.
