Moke Lake, despite its proximity to Queenstown, provides a peaceful sanctuary away from the city buzz, along with an abundance of outdoor activities. You can amble along the scenic track encircling the lake, take a tranquil horseback ride, cast your fishing line, enjoy a paddle in a kayak, or whizz around on your cycle. It truly is a place that offers a taste of tranquillity alongside a wealth of adventurous pursuits. The Moke Lake Loop Track is a popular short, undulating walk and cycle track. It's 6.5 kilometres (4 miles) long and most hikers need about two hours to complete it at a leisurely pace.

The 55-metre high castle church, made out of sandstone, is the town’s landmark. It was built between 1695 and 1701, and it is considered as one of the best-known baroque-style buildings in the region. Call in advance if you want to book a guided tour, and do not forget to check out the castle itself as well.

Also known as the Rock Church, this place is carved straight into granite in the middle of Helsinki. From the outside, it kind of looks like a grounded spaceship. Inside, the rough stone walls, copper dome, and skylight ring give the space a quiet, otherworldly feel. It’s still used for services, but you’re just as likely to catch a concert here, thanks to the natural acoustics, which are genuinely impressive.

This 18th-century Baroque Catholic church had undergone destruction and renovation several times throughout its history; today it is renowned for its exceptional, three-part organ system, and is a dominant element on the Saarbrücken's cityscape.
