(1) Summers here are just awesome, excellent weather and many places to swim and relax.
(2) Non paranoid culture, i.e. nothing like the CCTV Big Brother Society of the UK
(3) Location, with a car or a train ticket you can get to see, experience and have numerous adventures, this is after all the Centre of Europe – Officially!
(4) Friendly, most of the younger generation everywhere speak sufficient English to help if you need it and everybody greets.
(5) Nature, almost every time I have travelled somewhere I have seen deer, plenty of forests and well sign posted hiking trails.
