"Every journey begins with a single step"

Step 1:

You will provide information on the following things

- the physical features of the region you travel through (including maps)

- the cities you plan to visit (including things to see and do, accomodation together with prices, places to eat)

- national parks worth visiting

- don’t forget the means of transport you select to get from one destination to the other (rented car, bus, train ..., together with prices!)


The recreational coordinator's task

You will provide information on the following things

- famous historical sites along your selected route

- activities relating to the field of entertainment (including indoor/outdoor activities, sports events, amusing parks and other cultural events)
