Go with the flow on these tranquil river and lake trips from Sweden to Romania

, a beautiful blue-green mountain lake. It’s small enough to walk around in under an hour, enclosed on all sides with lovely mountain views, but it’s the swimming that will bring you back again and again.

My English goddaughter’s a keen sailor so she, my French goddaughter and I hired a dinghy. We’d reached the middle of the lake when the wind dropped. I thought we’d need a tow, but she tacked to and fro, catching every little breeze to get us back. The owners applauded our arrival and we toasted her with Beaujolais.
