It is a fun tool made by Hive account@blueorgy and Hive account@martibis that allows you to pin your posts to a specific location or browse the world map where ideally every place on the map is a Steemit post. #swmchallenge is my attempt is to make it more popular and build a community around it.

Travel blogs of the week

#1 Austrian Lindworm of Eternal Wall aka Ewige Wand [My Travel Blog]

While riding the legendary Salzkammergut route Hive account@dejan.vuckovic explored Austrian stunning nature and shown us a special place called The Eternal Wall. The name is not coincidental and the legend behind it is very odd to say the least.

#2 Heaven is a place on earth - Saliara or Marble beach, Thassos, Greece

Hive account@ladysnowhite shows us a glimpse of paradise and takes us on a short swim to a stunning beach in Greece. The tirquoise sea and white marble pebbles look amazing and combined with the green from the surrounding forests, this beach truly looks special.

#3 Discover my fabulous and magical city Annecy, France in this beautiful stroll with me ! ^_

Hive account@barbara-orenya makes us discover a special city in her heart, Annecy. Located in southeastern France, Annecy is a small city with a lot to offer and Barbara made sure to tell us everything we need to know about it.
