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.
