Sun, rain and snow make unpleasant condition for wood material and if the bridges would not be built as covered bridges, they would only last for 10-15 years.

Years ago Vermont was known as an agricultural state. You can still notice some large farmers when travel to Vermont. But there are fewer than before. We recommend you to take time and stop in some local shops, where their products are being sold. Before buying any of them, you can also taste them. Go for cheeses and jams. Yum!!

Beautiful countryside (Travel to Vermont, USA)

Travel to Vermont and around it is best with your own transport. Renting a car is highly recommended. The best kept secrets are always a little bit hidden from the main roads. It is said that Vermont is most beautiful in autumn, when all the maple leaves turn gold, brown and reddish. We already were amazed over the countryside and landscape and we did travel to Vermont in June. We might return here again in autumn, just to see Vermont in all its colorful glory. It should be fantastic, as it was already beautiful now.
