Through the mountains and forests

Since we have quite a lot planned for today, it was decided to wake up a little early and go for breakfast. To save some time later, we drove to West Ashville at Biscuit Head Cafe. It serves classic breakfasts and we chose an omelette with bacon and a couple of sandwiches.
We also bought some food and water for the day as most of it we were going to spend in nature.

After breakfast we headed to one of the most famous places in America, The Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Estate was built in a style not typical of the USA: the architectural solutions implemented here are more typical of Europe with its rich and long history. The area around the main building is carefully maintained, so it's a pleasure to stroll.

Appalachian Mountains is undoubtedly one of the most important and beautiful natural sites in the USA. The length of the whole mountain range is more than two and a half thousand kilometers, many parks are located at the foot of this ridge. We drove along the Pigeon River, making several stops to capture these truly fascinating landscapes of forests and hills.

This is where we parked our car and went exploring the local hiking trails. Make sure you have comfortable clothes, enough water and food to spend a few hours in these forests.

After a long walk in nature at the end of the day we decided to devote the rest of our evening to a restaurant. For our luck, on the way we noticed Frankie's Italian Trattoria restaurant, which serves Italian cuisine. The atmosphere inside was quite friendly and cozy. We ordered ourselves spaghetti with carbonara sauce as well as lasagna. The restaurant is open every day except Sunday.

The day was wonderful, so many different beautiful places we managed to visit, among which there are quiet forests, incredible mountains and calm rivers. Tomorrow there will be no less interesting way, we are going to return to Charlotte, and on the way we will also see many different beauties.
