The mercury is slowly, slowly rising…nature is awakening from its winter slumber, and our best idea of how to celebrate is to set off to discover a postcard village with history, nature and the mix of small-town charm that makes us instantly nostalgic.

Spring is the perfect time to explore the hidden treasures just a few hours’ drive from the metropolis, where fresh air and spring sunshine rekindle the spirit of adventure.
