Landmark 1/25

@ Scourger's Lake
Quackers❤️ steps off the boat onto Olpeggo with fellow traveller flipper. Time for a look around, but first a long stretch after the voyage!
Scourger's Lake
The tranquillity of this lake, with its perfect reflection of a snow-capped mountain, has to be experienced to be believed. It's just the place to relax for a nourishing picnic before starting on the next step of the island tour.

Landmark 2/25

@ From the Trees
Did you just photo bomb me? Quackers❤️ asked Sarah as they shared the wonder of the vista.
From the Trees
A pet can climb or fly to the top of a tall tree overlooking Olpe Lake and from this vantage point look out across a vista of lake, peaks and conifers. It's such an amazing view!

Landmark 3/25

@ Olpe Lake
"Come on Cherokee, pick up the pace a little, will you?" Scolded Quackers❤️, hoping to get in a little more sight seeing before changeover...
Olpe Lake
Visiting pets can employ the services of a resident orangutan who will row them across the Olpe Lake. He enjoys pausing the rowing boat right in the middle, where the water is deepest, and regaling his passengers in ghoulish tones with tales of the monster said to lurk in the depths of the Lake, a huge, strange looking creature called Olpessie. The more credulous of his passengers tend to start looking nervously fore and aft and shuffling towards the middle of the boat; bolder pets get their cameras out!

Landmark 4/25

@ Skipping Rocks
Arriving at such a wonderful location spurred Quackers❤️ on to keep on trekking. However Gracie sat down, refusing to budge, complaining of blisters on her paws...
Skipping Rocks
An exciting annual competition takes place here on the Olpe Lake! Those pets who excel at throwing take turns selecting flat stones from the banks of the lake, then skimming them across the water, with the aim of seeing how many times they can make it "skip" before it sinks!

Landmark 5/25

@ Natural Shack
While Quackers❤️ soaked in the view, Sweetie pie was searching her backpack for the bug spray, certain that her fur would be crawling with little biting critters once the sun went down!
Natural Shack
A sister dwelling to the Green Roof Inn, this accommodation is particularly popular with those wishing to have a vacation by the sea.

Landmark 6/25

After months of planning, Quackers❤️ and Kaffy Grounds finally agreed on where they would travel together, and they are both secretly please with their choice!

This area on Olpeggo is a popular vacation spot, and these dwellings for hire, with their eco-friendly "green roofs", are ideally sited for those wishing to take a holiday here, whether it be for hiking, rambling, climbing, bird-spotting or just to relax and read or write in a peaceful countryside scene.

Landmark 7/25

@ Olpe River
While Quackers❤️ normally avoids tourist hotspots, she is glad she allowed Dragondrop to bring her here!

The pets construct toy boats out of twigs and walnut shells, and stretch their legs by racing them downriver!

Landmark 8/25

@ Conifer Valley
After months of planning, Quackers❤️ and Choose a name finally agreed on where they would travel together, and they are both secretly please with their choice!
Conifer Valley
Pets pausing for a rest in this clearing among the conifers benefit from the shade and windbreak provided by the trees. They can lie back and enjoy the soothing sounds of wind through the pine branches and aromatic fragrances from the leaves and sap.

Landmark 9/25

@ Conifer Stream
Quackers❤️ asked Butterscotch if she had a fur clip on her, as Quackers❤️ wanted to fashion a fishing pole and stop to dangle a line...?
Conifer Stream
Conifer Stream is just the place for a happy, enjoyable and—let's face it!—wet afternoon going white water rafting ...

Landmark 10/25

@ Orange Blossom Field
While Quackers❤️ soaked in the view, Mickle was searching her backpack for the bug spray, certain that her fur would be crawling with little biting critters once the sun went down!
Orange Blossom Field
The artisan perfumiers of Olpeggo produce a delicate fragrance from the flowers in this field. The essence is a vital component in the making of perfume. The petals are also utilised in the making of delicately scented flower water used in the Olpeggo cuisine.

Landmark 11/25

@ Pasture Range
"Come on Marmite, pick up the pace a little, will you?" Scolded Quackers❤️, hoping to get in a little more sight seeing before changeover...
Pasture Range
It's a complete misnomer! This old-fashioned wooden dock stretches out onto the lake, not onto meadowland. How many years has it stood there, with happy groups of pets clambouring on board sailing boats pulled up alongside, to set off on trips, or disembarking after their adventures?

Landmark 12/25

@ Pasture Nook
Quackers❤️ moved on to shake the next paw, oblivious to the fact that she'd also shaken Mischief, who had wandered off to pick wildflowers along the way...
Pasture Nook
This sheltered little group of houses is home to a happy community content with their way of life in the mountain valley.

Landmark 13/25

@ Autumn Leaves
Quackers❤️ looked around the scenery, asking PeeJay if there was any pet friendly accommodation nearby?
Autumn Leaves
All is still in the wood! It's just the perfect place for a pet to practise balancing by walking across fallen logs, playing hide & seek, collecting twigs and leaves to make pictures with back home, playing tracking, and taking bark rubbings.

Landmark 14/25

@ Rebirth Shallow
While Quackers❤️ was busy snapping photos, Sabrina wandered off to find a suitable bush, as there was a decided lack of amenities in the immediate area!
Rebirth Shallow
This copse of trees by a shallow pond in a less hilly region of Olpeggo is the favourite place of many young pets. The pond in summer teems with aquatic wildlife.

Landmark 15/25

@ Peggo's Shadow
Quackers❤️ looked askance at Laila Lu, wondering how she had ended up on a grey nomads' tour???
Peggo's Shadow
Can't you just imagine breathing in the crisp, clean air in the shadow of the Peggo Mountain Range? Here pets truly get back to nature, far away from towns and industries.

Landmark 16/25

@ Peggo Lake
Arriving at such a wonderful location spurred Quackers❤️ on to keep on trekking. However Carruthers sat down, refusing to budge, complaining of blisters on his paws...

Landmark 17/25

@ Peggo Range
Quackers❤️ and PetPet were so busy gazing at the scenery they almost forgot to finish shaking paws before changeover!
Peggo Range
Another stunning aerial view of Lake Peggo and the lesser Peggo mountains awaits the pet who conquers the main peak!

Landmark 18/25

@ The Conifers of Peggo
"Come on Marcel, pick up the pace a little, will you?" Scolded Quackers❤️, hoping to get in a little more sight seeing before changeover...
The Conifers of Peggo
Olpeggo pine forests include huge ‘granny’ pines that can grow to be very old indeed. Many of the island's pine forests also have more varied canopies. Many animals and birds flourish in this unique habitat. For hundreds of years, pine forests have blanketed lake sides and hills, the home to myth, legend and rare wildlife.

Landmark 19/25

@ Shallow Stream
Dude! Just take a look around and breathe deep! Does it get any better than this?
Shallow Stream
At the next stage of the island tour, a pet can see Shallow Stream, a quiet region with all the delights of still water, and very young pine trees can be seen.

Landmark 20/25

@ Peggo Trail
Quackers❤️ had to travel on alone, as Moriarty declared he had found his nirvana, and had no intention of moving on!
Peggo Trail
This conifer-fringed track is the start of the hiking trail through the Olpeggo Mountains, with awesome views of the Olpe Lake and snow-clad peaks. Val-deri, val-dera!

Landmark 21/25

@ Olpeggo View
Quackers❤️ was surprised to meet Spirit here! But they were both delighted to find plenty of travel tokens!
Olpeggo View
While on their hike, the pets fall in love with this deep turquoise lake at the foot of the Olpeggo mountain range. Legend has it that at the foot of the mountain is a fairy gateway to a secret world. Dare they seek it out ...?

Landmark 22/25

@ An Evening in the Air
Quackers❤️ is enjoying the view when Silky comes along. "Looks like you dropped something,", says Silky. Quackers❤️ looks down and sees something valuable. Well Quackers❤️ WAS here first ...
An Evening in the Air
A popular pastime on the island is taking advantage of the thermals at this particular part of the island, and going hot air ballooning. It's quite some sight to see these majestic craft, with their precious animal cargo in baskets underneath, soaring up into the sunset. The best place to watch them ascend is from the tallest peak on the Peggo mountain range.

Landmark 23/25

@ A Sunset View
"Come on Aussie, pick up the pace a little, will you?" Scolded Quackers❤️, hoping to get in a little more sight seeing before changeover...
A Sunset View
From the tallest peak of the Mount Peggo range, the most awe-inspiring vista is spread out before those who have clambered to the top. Smaller mountains are shrouded in mist, and at sunset everything is tinged with gold.

Landmark 24/25

@ Sunset Crossing
While Quackers❤️ normally avoids tourist hotspots, she is glad she allowed Jillie to bring her here!
Sunset Crossing
Anypet who has climbed this high must take especial care and keep a weather eye open for the risks of high winds on the snowy ascent! From the top there is an almost as tricky a descent via a rope bridge, but those pets who makes the effort agrees it is well worth it for the stupendous views!

Landmark 25/25

@ Island: Olpeggo
Quackers❤️ finally makes it back to the landing stage, where Silver is also about to embark and go home. What an adventure it has been! Quackers❤️ pockets a map of Olpeggo as a momento. The guidebook says:
Island: Olpeggo
The Island of Olpeggo derives its name from Lake Olpe and Lake Peggo. Pets disembarking on its sandy beach will explore a river, woods and lakes and see how the other half live on this delightful island, then end their trip by climbing a very high, snow-capped mountain—but what stunning views from the top! They will be very tired but happy pets climbing back down the other side to reboard the boat.
Quackers❤️ has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
