In a large nature area, in the middle of Jutland, an ethnographic open-air museum is situated, Hjerl Hedes Frilandsmuseum.

The Samara, an environmental and reconstruction park was realised by the Ministry of Culture, the Picardy province and the bank Credit Agricole. It had a predecessor at the Val d’Aisne.

The lakeside village of Dispilio is 8 kilometres from Kastoria. Although the archaeological site is known since the 1930s, systematic excavations started in 1992, by Professor Nikos Hourmouziadis of the Aristotle University, Thessaloniki.
