  • Modlareüth (Frankenwald) open-air museum about the border between East and West Germany. Posters of DDR (German Democratic Republic) time. This village at Cold War time was called the Little Berlin because in 1945, Thuringia became part of the Soviet occupation zone, while Bavaria went to the American occupation zone. Divided by the Tannbach River (only one foot wide) which flows through Mödlareuth, the small village became divided by the border between two states. A pass was required to cross between the two parts of town. After the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, walls were built in other towns on the border as well. The wall of Mödlareuth was built in 1966. From that point on, the East German part of the village was strictly monitored day and night, while on the West German side the wall became a kind of tourist attraction. .In 1983, the then U.S. Vice President George H. W. Bush visited and exclaimed, "Ich bin ein Mödlareuther!", an allusion to John F. Kennedy's "Ich bin ein Berliner" statement.[1]..On 17 June 1990, seven months after the Berlin Wall fell and four months before German reunification, the Mödlareuth Wall was knocked down using a bulldozer.

  • Northen Frankenwald, a Bavaria's finger in the hearth of Turingia. View tower Thuringian Warte (look-out), built in the year 1963, rises 26.5 meters high on the top of the Ratzenberg hill. The air-line distance from there to the border of Thuringia is only 200 meters. Because of its unique situation at the former border between Bavaria and the German Democratic Republic, it was not only a "window" to the other part of Germany, but also an important touristic attraction in Bavaria, which has seen up to about 1 million visitors until present. Even today, after the reunification of the two German states, the Thuringia Warte is still an attraction.

The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometers of the Iguazu river. The most impressive of all is the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo), a U-shaped cataract of 82-meter-high, 150-meter-wide and 700-meter-long that marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Two thirds of the falls are within Argentine territory. The first European to find the falls was the Spanish Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (1541), and the falls were rediscovered by Boselli at the end of the nineteenth century. The falls are shared by the Iguazú National Park (Argentina) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil), designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1987, respectively.

  • Manenè:  the last Indian Emberà village near rio Balsa before “No man’s land” near Colombia’s border. Only 3 policemen protects the area. The Darién Gap is Panama's Bermuda Triangle, a mystery zone between North and South America where also the Pan-American Highway dead-ends. Panama has nearly no control over the border with neighboring Colombia, making the Gap a dangerous place, a refuge for outlaws, narcos (drug smugglers), Colombia’s guerrillas of FARC and their ultra-rightist enemies, the paramilitaries. The violent contest between between these two groups constitutes the biggest threat to the small Indian communities living inside the Darien National Park. Also the increasing influx of Panamanian farmers has doubled the population, and any tree of the rainforest is in danger of being cut down or burned.

  • village of Rio Sambù, where lives mostly Indiano, mestizos and black people descended from slaves. Yaviza, where stops Paamerican Highway, road, is the centre of every kind of trade, filled with people who appear to have only time on their hands. The Darién Gap is Panama's Bermuda Triangle, a mystery zone between North and South America. Panama has nearly no control over the border with neighboring Colombia, making the Gap a dangerous place, a refuge for outlaws, narcos (drug smugglers), Colombia's guerrillas of FARC and their ultra-rightist enemies, the paramilitaries. The violent contest between between these two groups constitutes the biggest threat to the small Indian communities living inside the Darien National Park. Also the increasing influx of Panamanian farmers has doubled the population, and any tree of the rainforest is in danger of being cut down or burned.

At its height, with a population of more than 100,000 people, was a rival of Constantinople. Ani has been abandoned and largely forgotten for centuries and only in the 19th century European travelers rediscovered Ani for the outside world.
