1000 steps near Melbourne, Australia 2016
The 1000 Steps Kokoda Walk is located in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. As the name suggests, the 1000 Steps includes stony steps that lead to the popular One Tree Hill; which starts at the cafe and leads up the top of the mountain.
If you are coming from the city using Public transport, the best train station to get off at is “Upper Ferntree Gully station” on the Belgrave line. From there it is just a 800m walk east along Burwood Highway to reach the southern end of the carpark – around 500m extra to get up to the cafe and the start of the steps.
Depending on your fitness, the steps can take between 30 minutes to 1.5hrs to complete the return trip. Many people walk up the steps, but those who are a little fitter may run.

City break Frankfurt, Germany
Catedrala Sfântul Bartolomeu (Dom Sankt
Bartholomäus) este o construcție gotică, care a fost ridicată în
secolele XIV-XV pe fundația unei biserici mai vechi din vremurile
merovingiene. Este cea mai mare biserică din oraș. Din 1356 împărații
Sfântului Imperiu Roman de Națiune Germană au fost aleși în această
biserică, iar din 1562 până în 1792 au fost aici și încoronați.
Din secolul XVIII, domul este denumit adeseori în limbajul colocvial „Catedrala Sfântul Bartolomeu”, deși nu a fost niciodată sediu de episcopat. În 1867 catedrala a fost distrusă într-un incendiu și reconstruită în stilul prezent. Înălțimea catedralei este de 95 m.
