Visiting these real-world places is like jumping into the pages of a story book, where castles sit on clouds and forests are carpeted with flowers.

01. Colmar: Alsace, France

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-01-2

Walt Disney would surely approve of Colmar, with its timber-framed houses, colorful facades, and flower-lined canal.

02. Ashikaga Flower Park: Ashikaga, Japan

Ashikaga’s wisteria trees bloom brilliantly for a few weeks every spring, turning the park into a vision of pastel pinks and purples.

Getty

03. Rakotzbrücke (Rakotz Bridge): Kromlau, Germany

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-03

This 19th-century bridge creates a perfect stone circle when reflected in the still waters below it.

Alamy

04. Angel Oak: Charleston, South Carolina

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-04

What looks like a set piece from Pan’s Labyrinth is actually a massive and ancient oak tree—six stories tall and 300-400 years old.

Alamy

05. Reed Flute Cave: Guilin, China

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-05

Sadly, magical fairy dust is not the secret behind Reed Flute Cave’s glowing interior. Multi-colored lights hide all around the subterranean spot to attract tourists.

Getty

06. Hohenzollern Castle: Bisingen, Germany

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-06

Hohenzollern Castle stands proudly over 750 feet above Germany. It’s most exceptional on overcast days when it sticks out above the fog—a literal castle on a cloud.

Alamy

07. Tunnel of Love: Klevan, Ukraine

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-07

Ukraine’s “Tunnel of Love” puts all theme park rides to shame, with vibrant green leaves covering every surface.

Getty

08. Hallstatt, Austria

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-08-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-08

Its lakeside views and charming buildings make Hallstatt a picture-perfect town. So perfect, in fact, that China made an exact replica of the village to serve as high-end housing.

Getty

09. Chiang Mai, Thailand

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-09

Chiang Mai’s skies light up with thousands of lanterns every year during the Yi Peng festival. Tangled fans, start packing.

Getty

10. Lake Reschen: South Tyrol, Italy

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-10

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-10-1

This area of South Tyrol was once home to several villages, but the towns were purposefully flooded when a dam was built nearby. The only visible reminder of the drowned cities is a 14th-century bell tower—sort of like Rapunzel meets the Quarter Quell.

Getty

11. Hallerbos Forest: Halle, Belgium

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-11

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-11-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-11-2

This beech forest in Belgium becomes a misty dreamscape during springtime, as thousands of bluebells carpet the forest floor.

Getty

12. Seljalandsfoss: Iceland

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-12

Seljalandsfoss looks great at any angle, but it’s worth the hike to see the waterfall from the cave behind it. Can someone commission an Airbnb property here please?

Getty

13. City Palace: Jaipur, India

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-13

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-13-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-13-2

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-13-3

We love a good turret and stone archway, but Jaipur’s rosy pink City Palace gives its European counterparts a run for their money.

Getty

14. The Dark Hedges: Northern Ireland

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-14

Because even fairy tales are dark and full of terrors. Local legend has it that “the Grey Lady” (a ghost, not the New York Times) haunts the road at dusk.

Alamy

15. Angkor Wat (Ta Prohm): Cambodia

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-15

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-15-1

The Cambodian jungle has pretty much devoured the Ta Prohm temple, but the strangely compelling remains (which had a guest role in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) make it a popular tourist attraction.

16. St. Basil’s Cathedral: Moscow, Russia

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-16-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-16-2

St. Basil’s Cathedral is a bright and whimsical sight in the middle of Red Square, thanks to candy-colored domes and swirling patterns.

Getty

17. Quinta da Regaleira: Sintra, Portugal

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-17

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-17-1

Sintra’s Quinta da Regaleira estate has a lot to offer tourists, like ornate gardens and palaces, as well as deep wells with spiral staircases lining the walls.

Alamy

18. Longleat: Wiltshire, England

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-18

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-18-2

While trying to navigate the hedge maze at the Longleat manor, one almost expects to cross paths with the Queen of Hearts (or, fingers crossed, David Bowie).

Getty

19. Puez-Geisler Nature Park: South Tyrol, Italy

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-19

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-19-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-19-2

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-19-3

Italy’s Puez-Geisler Nature Park is located among the jagged and striking Dolomites, with a charming, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it church nestled among the mountains.

Getty

20. Oneonta Gorge: Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-20

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-20-1

AD-Places-That-Are-Straight-Out-Of-Fairy-Tales-20-3

Tucked right by the border between Oregon and Washington, the Oneonta Gorge is a beautiful slice of ancient geology—not to mention a popular hiking destination.

  • LaRue Architects @laruearchitects [IG] Designs a U Shaped Home Around Heritage Oak Groves in Austin Hill Country

The Cliffside House Perched Above Lake Austin, by LaRue Architects:

This sprawling home was designed and built atop a steep hillside, 75 feet above Lake Austin. The homeowners, a young professional couple with three small children, wanted their home to be all about ‘lake life.’ To take advantage of the spectacular lake views and the surrounding heritage oak trees, LaRue Architects designed the structure with large expanses of glass making the home transparent from front to back upon entry providing incredible vistas throughout the home.
