➤ Gelnhausen is the district town of the Main-Kinzig district in south-east Hesse. The former imperial city is halfway between Frankfurt am Main and Fulda on the eastern edge of the Rhine-Main area. Since April 26, 1978, it has had the official additional designation Barbarossastadt. Gelnhausen is located on the southern edge of the Büdinger Forest in the Kinzig Valley. The Büdinger Forest is a foothill of the Spessart that protrudes north over the Kinzig and is part of the Hessian-Franconian Uplands . This foothill pushes from the south in front of the southern slope of the Vogelsberg, which is directed towards the Rhein-Main lowland. As a north-west-southeast running red sandstone block from 350 to 410 m altitude, it essentially forms a sandstone plateau, on whose loamy sandy soil there is an almost closed forest area, mostly deciduous forests, including noble deciduous tree forests worthy of protection. The landscape is of great importance as a recreational area. The large, undivided area north of Gelnhausen is particularly important for the biotope network. On the border to the Vogelsberg in the northern part of the district of Breitenborn, which belongs to the municipality of Gründau, there are basalt ceilings and one of the largest basalt quarries in Hesse.
➤ Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an American national park in the southeastern United States, with parts in North Carolina and Tennessee. The park straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The park contains some of the highest mountains in eastern North America, including Clingmans Dome, Mount Guyot, and Mount Le Conte. The border between the two states runs northeast to southwest through the center of the park. The Appalachian Trail passes through the center of the park on its route from Georgia to Maine. With 14.1 million visitors in 2021, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States.
➤ The Three Sisters are a trio of peaks near Canmore, Alberta, Canada. They are known individually as Big Sister, Middle Sister and Little Sister. In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. However, the name refers to a story of Ĩ-ktomnĩ, the old man or trickster, who would promise 'three sisters' in marriage whenever he was in trouble. This trio of peaks has a significant role in the town of Canmore, tourism, and hiking in the area. The Three Sisters may be the most recognized peaks in the Bow River Valley.

➤ Grand Teton National Park is an American national park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service–managed John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding national forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18-million-acre (73,000-square-kilometer) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the world's largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems.
➤ Val di Funes (Villnößtal in German), simply called Funes, is a valley about 24 km long in South Tyrol, Italy. Administratively, it is mostly located in the municipality of Funes, orographically the left wings of the valley in the entrance area belong to Chiusa. Val di Funes is bordered by the Odle di Eores mountains to the north and the Odle group to the south. The highest parts of the valley are protected by the Puez-Odle Nature Reserve. Valle di Funes branches off from the central part of Valle Isarco in an easterly direction.
➤ Bryce Canyon National Park (/braɪs/) is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce Canyon National Park is much smaller and sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
➤ Glacier National Park is an American national park located in northwestern Montana, on the Canada–United States border, adjacent to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The park encompasses more than 1 million acres (4,000 km2) and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), more than 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem," a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 sq mi (41,000 km2).
➤ Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is an American national park that conserves an area of large sand dunes up to 750 feet (230 m) tall on the eastern edge of the San Luis Valley, and an adjacent national preserve in the Sangre de Cristo Range, in south-central Colorado, United States. The park was originally designated Great Sand Dunes National Monument on March 17, 1932, by President Herbert Hoover. The original boundaries protected an area of 35,528 acres (55.5 sq mi; 143.8 km2). A boundary change and redesignation as a national park and preserve was authorized on November 22, 2000, and then established on September 24, 2004. The park encompasses 107,342 acres (167.7 sq mi; 434.4 km2) while the preserve protects an additional 41,686 acres (65.1 sq mi; 168.7 km2) for a total of 149,028 acres (232.9 sq mi; 603.1 km2). The recreational visitor total was 527,546 in 2019.
