I love exploring everything around me - thus, it is not surprising I am a scientist. The important aspect of doing good science is to travel...
All in all, I am traveling quite a lot, mostly around Europe. Since I like bustling cities and quiet historical towns as well as nature, the list of my visited sites is diverse.
My most impressive site: Prague, Assisi, Bauhaus, Primeval beech forests
My proposal for a new site: Ještěd transmitter, Lecce, Burren landscape, Sligo megalithic landscape, Carnac megalithic landscape, Tainan temples in Taiwan

Geyser in Herlany (On tentative list)
Geyser in Herlany
I cannot help myself, but this nomination is a joke. Do not expect geyser like in Yellowstone. This one is a fake-geyser, since it is an artificial one. I visited …

Bauhaus Sites (Inscribed)
Bauhaus Sites
I have visited all sites in Weimar and Dessau. Two University buildings in Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse in Weimar are not spectacular but very pleasant sites with relaxed cafe - worth-visiting and -inscription …

Ravenna (Inscribed)
Ravenna
Mosaics of Ravenna are the world-class WHS, and everything important about inscribed monuments has been already covered by other reviewers. Thus, I decided to describe other important but un-inscribed sites …

Great Spa Towns of Europe (Inscribed)
Great Spa Towns of Europe
The Czech part of this nomination is sometimes called as the West Bohemian Spa Triangel. It consists of Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazne and Frantiskovy Lazne. This part of Czechia was …

Etruscan Necropolises (Inscribed)
Etruscan Necropolises
Etruscan history as well as related artefacts are fascinating. It is almost impossible to miss it or ignore it when travelling with open eyes in Tuscany, Umbria or Lazio regions …

The Burren (Removed from tentat…)
The Burren
I visited the Burren region (nominated as cultural landscape) two times during the car trips around the western coast of Ireland. We did a short stop at Cliffs of Moher …

Lake District (Inscribed)
Lake District
I spent a couple of rainy days in Lake District in June 2006. I really liked my stay in the area visiting villages such as Keswick and walking around several …

Syracuse (Inscribed)
Syracuse
Visited in May 2014. I spent half a day in the historic center of Syracuse located on Isola di Ortigia, so, I have not seen other parts of this WHS …

Mount Etna (Inscribed)
Mount Etna
I was not planning to reach the Etna summit during my trip to Sicily in May 2014. However, it was impossible not to spot the mount Etna (always covered by …

Primeval Beech Forests (Inscribed)
Primeval Beech Forests
COMPONENTS of SLOVAKIA, GERMANY and ITALY
I really love this WHS and spent quite a lot of days&nights in beech forests mostly of Slovakia components. Paradoxically, I am not …

La Maddalena and Islands of Bocche di Bonifacio
One of the most beautiful beaches of Europe can be found in Sardinia - I guess I am not only person agreenig with this statement. I spent there my September …

Assisi (Inscribed)
Assisi
Visited 3-times:
-as regular tourist spending few hours in Assisi only: it means running from parking lot close to S. Chiara towards the basilica S Francesco, being half an …

Teide National Park (Inscribed)
Teide National Park
I visited Tenerife in January 2011. I have great memmories on it, because it was a special trip when me and my friend crossed a half of the island by …

Villas of the Papal Nobility (On tentative list)
Villas of the Papal Nobility
I have visited only two components of the series: Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola and Villa Lante in Bagnaia (PHOTO), both in Viterbo municipality, and my impression was very positive. Thus, …
Salento and the Barocco Lecce… (On tentative list)
Salento and the Barocco Leccese
I agree with Nan that Lecce with its Barocco is unique and the entire town with maybe 30 or 40 churches, baroque palaces and gates deserves to be included to …

Orvieto (On tentative list)
Orvieto
The setting of Orvieto on the tuffa plateau is impresive. The cathedral with its simple interior and opulent facade is really masterpiece. Another pleasent place of Orvieto is Piazza dell …

Romanesque Cathedrals in Puglia
I visited 4 cathedrals from 6 in total: (1) S Nicola di Bari (extremely impresive exterior&interior with the tomb of St. Nicholas), (2) Cattedrale di Bari (massive buildings with large …
