The Top 10 Natural Wonders Of Europe The Dolomites, Italy Norwegian Fjords, Norway

8. Lake Como, Italy
Visiting the wishbone-shaped Lake Como on European tours is like a dream come true. This tranquil natural wonder situated just 50 miles north of Milan offers plenty of serene lakeside settings from where you can treasure the calming view. Extending some 56 square miles, Lake Como attracts watersport enthusiasts, as well as walkers keen to hike along cypress-lined paths, through quaint hamlets and fishing villages. But Italy’s third-largest lake is also a destination where it’s easy to slow down. Time seems to stand still, so you can relax and unwind too.
9. Gullfoss, Iceland
A list of natural wonders of Europe must include Iceland’s most dramatic waterfall. Gullfoss, in the country’s Haukadalur Valley, is an unforgettable sight, especially if you visit on a sunny day when hundreds of rainbows appear in clouds of spray. During the summer, water cascades down Gullfoss in two stages, falling 32 metres into a deep crevice below. The waterfall can freeze into glistening ice in extreme winters. On the itinerary of popular Iceland tours (Gullfoss means Golden Falls), the waterfall is just a 90-minute drive from Reykjavík.
10. Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland
Closer to home and a highlight of Ireland tours, the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim is a bizarre yet fascinating natural phenomenon. At the foot of a soaring amphitheatre along a rugged coastline, the Causeway itself comprises of three modestly-sized fingers of naturally created crazy paving. The 37,000 hexagonal basalt columns formed as flows of molten lava cooled and contracted, fracturing vertically with mysterious regularity to produce what looks like a fiendishly complicated giant keyboard – though according to folklore, the causeway is what’s left of a bridge to Scotland built by the giant, Finn McCool.
