Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Most)
During the sixties, Most's historic center was completely destroyed to make room for the expanding lignite mines, a process that lasted until 1980. Unlike other historical building it was decided to save the church by moving it away from mining area.
An expert committee was set up by the Ministry of Culture of Czechoslovakia to supervise the project, presided over by academician Stanislav Bechyně. From 1969 the committee was led by Alois Myslivec.
To move the building, a variant on a bow path was chosen. The transfer was overseen by the firm Transfera Praha, an organisation of the Czech Ministry of Culture, and was performed by Průmstav Pardubice and Škoda Plzeň.
Prior to moving the building, the peripheral masonry, the bearing and supporting pillars were reinforced, and the remainder of the western tower was demolished. The church circumference was reinforced by a concrete ring and the church was gripped by a steel framework construction on the inner as well as outer sides. The preparation work lasted seven years, as it was also necessary to demolish all houses in the transfer path and fill in the former opencast mine.
53 transport trucks were set on special rails, which were inserted under all statically important points of the building. These transport trucks worked using computer controlled hydraulics, as were four booms used to pull the church. During movement of the church on the road section, rails which had already been passed over were moved from behind the building to in front of it, allowing them to be used again.
Between September 30 and October 27, 1975, the church was moved a distance of 841.1 meters at a velocity of 1–3 centimeters per minute to the vicinity of the old hospital with a small church of the Holy Spirit, and it was set on an iron-concrete two-storied foundation.[2] After the move was completed, restoration work went on until 1988, and the church was solemnly consecrated again in 1993.
This building was mentioned in Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest building ever moved on wheels (12 700 t).

Kranjska Gora - Lively Adventures in the Julian Alps.
Kranjska Gora is in no way merely a romantic winter destination although it is true that the snow falling from above transforms the area into a white wonderland. The white soul of Kranjska Gora has been and will remain Alpine skiing. A distinguishing feature of the Kranjska Gora skiing offer is the varied terrain which offers quality skiing for both beginners and expert skiers.
At the snow kindergarten, children with the aid of the children's lift (baby lift) and various animated obstacles will quickly »feel at home on skis«.
For those placing contact with nature above speed, there are over 40 km of cross-country skiing trails set up which will bring you under all Kranjska Gora ski slopes, past the source of the Sava River, under the ski jumping hills of Planica and on to Tamar. Cross-country skiing will especially seduce you once you gaze upon the snowy winter walls and peaks.
We could say the same for ski mountaineering
Let's conclude with sledding, the most romantic of winter disciplines.
Walking rules supreme among summer activities. Would you perhaps be interested in trying Nordic walking, an increasingly favourite option to free walking? Instructors and walking poles are available.
Almost as popular in the summer is cycling -- the fresh whistle of the Alpine air when making a descent or riding on the pass.
For those thirsty for adrenaline, the cycling park in Kranjska Gora offers Alpine freestyle enjoyment with adrenaline descents via tables, jumps, swings and other obstacles.
The beauty of the landscape can perhaps best be viewed on horseback.
If you opt for kayaking, rafting or canyoning on a crystal clear river, the Soča is not far, just a jump across Vršič. The same water sports might also interest you a bit more downstream on the Sava River.
For all those who can not live without golf, the right address is a golf practice course with four playing fields, practice areas and putting .
The Zgornjesavska Valley is also a paradise for fishermen for the Alpine rivers and streams offer numerous possibilities for fishing.
The same applies to photo hunting of animals. An experienced guide will enable you to see the animals in their natural environments. If all these activities fail to offer a challenge you can try alpinism and climb the peaks on which Slovene boys test their skills before setting off on ascents to the Himalayan peaks.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
Kranjska Gora was just a small valley village called Borovška Vas until the late 19th century, when skiing enthusiasts began to flock here. Planica (south of Rateče), the cradle of ski jumping, helped put the town on the world map earlier in the 20th century.
