Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Your first trip is to Europe's tallest active volcano. What is the name of this volcano?

Answer: Mount Etna

Located on the island of Sicily, Mt. Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, although its height varies due to damage caused by eruptions. Tourists visiting Sicily may enjoy one of two ski resorts on Etna or ride the train that runs along the rim of the volcano.

There is also a cable car which connects the Sapienza Refuge to an elevation point of 2500 m. After that, tourists must continue to climb on foot or drive in a vehicle better suited for the hilly terrain.
2. Next, you fly to Germany where you wish to see the oldest sanctuary for eagles and falcons in Europe. What is the name of this site, also known for a famous Roman battle?

Answer: Teutoburg Forest

The Teutoburg Forest is located in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. In 9 AD, a group of Germans led by Arminius ambushed and annihilated three Roman legions here. Today, tourists are able to visit two natural parks, as well as the Berlebeck Eagle Sanctuary.
3. Built between 1084 and 1504 and located overlooking the River Severn is the location of your next destination. Which English city is the final word in the full name of the cathedral officially designated "The Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of ___"?

Answer: Worcester

Officially designated as "The Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of Worcester" but generally simply called Worcester Cathedral, it was originally founded as the Worcester Priory in the year 680. Notable people buried here include King John, Arthur Tudor (Henry VIII's older brother, whose premature death led to Henry becoming king), and former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
4. You decide to take a plane to your next destination, a resort. It happens to be the southernmost resort in Spain. Meaning "Snowing Range", what is the name of this resort?

Answer: Sierra Nevada

The highest mountain in Spain, Mulhacen, is located in the Sierra Nevada range, but don't worry if you grow tired of skiing! Nearby is Spain's Mediterranean Coast, which is warm and sunny year-round. If an urban retreat is what you desire, you can also visit the city of Granada, with its spectacular palace and citadel.
5. Suppose you were to sail into the Gulf of Bothnia. Which two countries' shorelines can you visit whilst here?

Answer: Sweden and Finland

The Gulf of Bothnia can be found at the northern end of the Baltic Sea, between Sweden to the west and Finland to the east. Roughly 450 miles long (from north to south) and between 50 and 150 miles across, the Gulf of Bothnia has a surface area of 42,500 square miles -- slightly larger than the U.S. state of Ohio.
6. Whilst driving around the Balkan Peninsula, in which country might you find yourself in the cities of Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Tuzla, Zenica and Mostar?

Answer: Bosnia and Herzegovina

Other than the capital, Sarajevo, the cities in the question above are the five largest municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The largest of these five, Banja Luka, located in the northwest of the country of the banks of the River Vrbas, is home to some 175,000 people (2011 data). Tuzla, the location of Europe's only salt lake, is a popular tourist destination.
7. You are enjoying your trip in Europe and decide your next stop will be to visit some parishes. Saint Saviour, Saint Ouen, Grouville and Saint Clement are all parishes on which of the Channel Islands?

Answer: Jersey

Officially The Bailiwick of Jersey, this British Crown Dependency is located just off the Normandy coast of France. The island is divided into twelve parishes, all of which have at least one coastline. Each parish is named after the Christian saint to whom their parish church is dedicated. Saint Ouen is the island's largest parish, covering six square miles. With an area of just 1.6 square miles, Saint Clement is the smallest. Now just known simply as Grouville, the parish in the southeastern corner of the island was originally named for Saint Martin de Grouville. Home to around 13,500 in 2013, Saint Saviour has had the highest population other than the island's capital, Saint Helier.
8. You now wish to visit one of the landlocked countries in Europe, one that has the same name for its country and its capital. Which European country would that be?

Answer: Luxembourg

Landlocked countries do not border any bodies of water. Of the four countries listed in the choices, Luxembourg is one of 17 landlocked countries in Europe. Other landlocked countries include Austria, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, and Kyrgyzstan.
9. You now decide to view the longest river in France, the Loire. Into which body of water does this river empty?

Answer: Bay of Biscay

The Loire travels some 630 miles from Cévennes in the département of Ardèche in southern France to empty into the Bay of Biscay at St Nazaire. On its journey first north and then west it passes through the cities of Nevers, Orléans, Tours and Nantes.
10. Your final European destination is to Bialowieza Forest, a place that means "white tower". Home to approximately 800 European bison, it is on the border between which two countries?

Answer: Belarus and Poland

Bialowieza Forest is considered to be one of the last remaining primeval forests that covered the European Plain hundreds of years ago. In 1538, King Sigismund I issued a proclamation that made killing the bison, the heaviest land animal in Europe, an offense punishable by death. By 1541, the forest became a reserve to protect the bison.

After WWI there was concern that the bison no longer inhabited the forest; they were only 54 known to live in zoos. The re-population project has been very successful, and the reserve was added to the World Heritage List in the early 1990s. Visitors to the forest may visit laboratory facilities, a zoo, and a museum, as well as view other indigenous animals on the Belarus side; on Poland's side, guided tours (walking, biking, or riding in a carriage) through the park are offered.
