Gariston: The Land of forests and lakes!

Tourism is a serious issue in our country.  The plenty of forests, lakes, rivers and mountains, attract a lot of tourists who want to have quiet moments and a good time on their holidays.  Towns are full of cafeterias, bars and beach refreshment stands.  There is no pollution in Gariston in the summer.  In that period, cars are forbidden in most of the villages and beaches, where all the people use the many and cheep transportation vehicles.  The busses don’t stop to circulate ’till morning, so all tourists and Garistians, can amuse themselves all night.

They are many sights in Gariston.  The notorious forest of Zodiac, The waterfalls and lakes in Birg, Dehanceville and Triehler, the folkloric cross burning in Ville BC.

Many activities await the visitor: Hiking, trekking, cycling, horse riding, swimming, sea and mountain skiing (at the famous Taurus mountain’s ski center).  The tourist in Gariston can also dive and see the plenty of sea horses (hippocampuses), the national animal of the country, and the gorgeous coral reefs.

 

Endangered Species:

LIZARDUS REVELER

 

This ultra-rare species of lizards is particular to Gariston and it can be found only in the forest of Zodiac.  It was given this name as its sudden movements and upright positioning of its forelegs are suggestive of revelers whose movements at the time of joy are very similar.

It is estimated that the number of Lizardus Reveler do not exceed 12,000.  This species is protected by strict legislation. One person’s attempt to capture a lizard of this kind for sale and breeding abroad four years ago was punished in exemplary fashion:  the perpetrator was sentenced to 4 days of severe beating by four natives of Ville BC who were especially flown into Ydrihen for the occasion.
