These beauties can be enjoyed without an endless number of tourists and do not wait for each of them to be photographed at the attraction.
If you want to enjoy the natural wonders of the world, but without the crowds of tourists, then Switzerland is the perfect country.
In general, Europe has the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, of which 231 are included in the list of natural wonders, writes Express. These attractions attract more than 100 million tourists a year.
For travelers who don’t like this, Emerald Cruises has named some lesser-known places that are just as amazing, but with fewer people. One of them is prehistoric pile structures in Switzerland, which date back to 5000 and 500 BC.
These prehistoric ruins are all that remains of Neolithic and Bronze Age societies that built their homes on stilts in swampy lands. The houses were placed above ground to protect against flooding.
According to UNESCO, the settlements represent a unique group of exceptionally well-preserved and culturally rich archaeological sites.
The second UNESCO gem, also located in Switzerland, is the Swiss Jungfrau-Aletsch Alps, offering spectacular Alpine views. This site is an outstanding example of the formation of the High Alps, including the most ice-covered part of the mountain range and the largest glacier in Eurasia. The Alps have a wide variety of ecosystems and also show the impact of climate change on their glaciers.
Also included in the list of natural beauties to see in Switzerland is the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
In addition to Switzerland, analysts at Emerald Cruise included the Sintra Cascais Nature Park in Portugal, the Justedalsbreen National Park in Norway, the Spanish national parks of Doñana, Picos de Europa and Teide, the Tingvetlir National Park in Iceland and the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia in the list of hidden pearls of Europe.
