A new weekly route from Las Vegas to Munich Germany has just been established.


In the Alps are some nice castles, mountain, and gorges are nearby

The gorge was first developed for tourists in 1912. The photo below is from about 1900 when the river was used by local people for logging. It already had some walkways in place.

The level of ski development in Austria is astounding compared to the resorts in the USA.


The location of three winter Olympic games are very close to Munich and an easy train ride away
IV 1936 Germany Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
IX 1964 Austria Innsbruck, Austria
XII 1976 Austria Innsbruck, Austria

Salzburg, one of the prettiest cities in the world is also an easy train trip from Munich

ChesterDog is correct: Glaswegian.
And the third of course is the famed:
Hector dragged Achilles seven times around the walls of Troy.

I can only claim 4.

Heathrow, CDG, Barcelona, and Gatwick. I'm surprised Orly didn't make the list, which would have made 5.

Have you been to 7, Paco?

I have been to only 3 of them. I am surprised that Madrid is not on the list.
