Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine are new cultural properties on UNESCO World Heritage List. World Heritage Committee extended this list during the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee held in the Kingdom of Cambodia, in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap-Angkor. I have never seen those orthodox churches, but I have the great postcards showing two of them, moreover I wasn’t even excited about the fact of extension, but this news was a start of my own list’s extension.
I browsed almost whole UNESCO World Heritage List, which consists 969 properties (cultural, natural and mixed) and thanks to it I added many places to my must-see list, in the same time checking what I have already seen.
Austria: Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg, Palace and Gardens of Schönbrunn and Historic Centre of Vienna.I browsed almost whole UNESCO World Heritage List, which consists 969 properties (cultural, natural and mixed) and thanks to it I added many places to my must-see list, in the same time checking what I have already seen.

Together: 30 properties (or 31). Not so many. I wasn’t aware to pay attention to such places. So I have a lot of work to do.
Joking! I am a travel maniac, but not that much to travel only to UNESCO Heritage Sites. However, I am a huge maniac of numbers, lists, statistics and diagrams, so be ready and patient to see more of my analyses.
