Holiday destinations
How could it be otherwise? Summer holidays are also a time for travel. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the picturesque landscape of Sauerland and Eifel or the Lower Rhine offer numerous leisure opportunities. Whether a short trip to the Netherlands or Belgium - the proximity to these countries invites you to pack your bags and experience a new adventure. Many are also drawn to the North and Baltic Seas as well as to the sun of Spain, Italy or Croatia, where swimming in clear waters is particularly ideal.
Whether you're attending leisure programs at home or making travel plans to the sun, the anticipation of exciting experiences is palpable in the air. The summer holidays are considered the longest school holidays of the year and therefore offer the ideal opportunity to relax and recharge your batteries - a time that you should enjoy to the fullest, as schulferien.org describes.
Finally, we would like to mention that there will be innovations in the local compass after the holidays. A content filter is introduced to reduce spam and radical posts. This should enable posts to be published in real time and lead to a more pleasant online experience for all users - a step in the right direction!
With this in mind, we wish all readers a wonderful summer and many memorable moments in the coming weeks!
