The Great Wall of China built to defend the countries historic northern borders

2020: Roman Britain

and its tiny cousin Hadrian's Wall, the northernmost part of the Roman Empire.

1961: Tourism - Landscapes and Monuments

The monasteries of Meteora took a different approach and built on top of immense natural rock pillars 

2004: Bauhaus

But for more relaxed living the model homes for the Masters at the Bauhaus School in Dessau were a vision for modern living, the large windows creating a link between exterior and interior.

2004: Wattenmeer National Park

Head for the Wadden Sea National Park  and breath the fresh sea air.  The largest national park in Germany, 68% of it is underwater the rest is mainly salt marshes Its UNESCO designation is for its undisturbed inter-tidal ecosystem and unique biodiversity.

All wonderful! I did not know about the German national park. I am glad to hear of its preservation.

These ancient walls are much more interesting then the one some want to build at their southern border. The Greek one looks so inhospitable, unlike the Bauhaus (which I've got quite a fondness for). I also didn't know about the Wattenmeer and love the idea that UNESCO goes underwater.

A long walk following Hadrian's Wall is an old project of mine. Not sure I will fulfil it one day.
At least, I have been to Meteora. Impressive site.
