"There is so much to explore and discover."

Exactly... explore... discover

You'll never see all the beautiful places if you just TP to a few landmarks you've been given.

Step outside your house and get moving - because you never know what surprises you might see on the way to your destination ;)

I explore quite a bit, and I've tucked away a few landmarks of Belli spots that I thought were not only beautiful but also good places to start an exploring trip from. [Actually, I've never returned to one of them because the Moles keep building MOAR places to explore, yay!].

But I won't be sharing them here, because I fear that if I did, the BBB would follow up and plant a passport kiosk at them.  Nothing dampens a sense of discovery like seeing one of those in a place of great natural beauty that you have just come across. 

@Boo Rojyo , I don't know why passport stampers cannot be invisible objects that register your presence when messaged by a HUD that you touch when you arrive at a passport destination.

A lot of my haphazard exploration is through GoH. I'll land in a region where I don't plan to keep a house and then find a hidden gem of a park nearby. So love those surprises, Moles and Lindens!

^ Me too. I found the lovely beach at Swordfish because I want a home that's close to a public use beach. There's a rez zone here for boats as well. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the BBB has an office here, but I see this as creating an even larger community area, not as land to be envious of someone else having.

oh no. oh no. I didn't realise it was Swordfish they'd given away. That was my local beach the summer I spent in Thatch Lea. You used to be able to rez on the beach itself, not just the boat rez zone, and the beach was twice the size. But that whole area was one of those coastal Vic neighbourhoods which get gobbled up by alt armies, so I can see why the Lindens thought it would be ok.

I can't find a rez area at the BBB, which is weird... it must be there, right?

There is a water rezz zone at the foot of some stone stairs that go up to the BBB and a street rez zone on the cross street from the one that runs in front of the BBB. One could rez a beach towel on either zone and then drag it to the beach ( I did ), but it's not easy to get the beach towel placed right and then sit on it in time. As soon as you stand up it disappears too. 

Moles, can we please have some animated beach towels on the beaches?  Thanks.

Found a 116m high peak here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Heath Cliff/63/135/116   

Since Chloe posted a link to the Canyon Ball run region - if you want to see a nice sight, I suggest hopping on a horse and riding the dirt road south between the Canyon Ball Run and Sassafras regions - do it as the sun is setting - just looks amazing :)

I’m resurrecting this thread - but don’t hate me for it! Hear me out! :)

I’m working on a project called the OMT. In short, it’s a series of skyboxes on different continents that are built to look like subway stations. They are all connected with experience teleporters and each Subway station is specific to its continent, showing locations in a directory in world that are located where that station is (Sansara, Heterocera, etc). 

I am super excited about this project because it provides an exploring experience without leaving modern looking kiosks in weird spots all over the grid. It also helps to highlight LL creations as well as resident ones, and the stations will update themselves (mostly). 

So - what does that have to do with Linden Homes? I’ve been helping my husband build out his cute house in Sakura and he suggested a Belli station too - ‘connecting continents together’ in a way that encourages exploring… in an easy to use format for new residents.

Linden Homes regions can be hard cause… like… you don’t ‘know where the cool stuff is’ unless you stumble across it or someone tells you. Between Horse Riding Clubs and house parties, there is a super interesting culture about living in Belli because of the lack of ‘search-ability’ (maybe by design?)

All that to say - I’ve combed the threads here and I scored 10 really amazing spots all over Bellisseria from old threads. I also realized that there has to be so many more. Like - more than anyone could ever know or find on their own. I can totally see how a resident can explore any of the Linden Homes regions and find tons of little gems. 

Does anyone else know any other Linden owned pretty places in the Belli regions that they’d be willing to share? 

As a reminder, this is a ‘SURL / landmark only - no kiosks’ project. I’m not looking to drop a terminal in the middle of someone’s favorite forest - just a place with a landmark to it so other people can enjoy it too. ❤️

One of the differences between Mainland and Bellisseria is that every single square meter of Bellisseria is the way it is because a Mole created it to be beautiful. There are obvious scenic spots in Bellisseria (e.g. lighthouses, underwater caves) but also easter eggs that delight you when you find them. In Bellisseria... everything is beautiful.

Also, Bellisseria differs in that a complete and designed travel infrastructure exists. We have roads, waterways, rails, airstrips, and associated rez zones. Many  prefer traveling by car, boat, plane, train, bicycle, horse, etc. A navigable route is enjoyed.

Administratively, there is much support for this style of experiencing a virtual world. The forums have lots of info about places to visit, as does the Bellisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy, the Parade of Homes, the Destination guide, and various groups (e.g. Bellisseria Boat Parade) that sponsor excursions.

Hey Diamond! Thanks for that info! I also have had a look at all of those suggestions you mention. They are all great resources!  I am hoping to use that info to further feed a -grid wide- project. :) 

I’m sure you know, new spots are being built all the time…. and if you are a new resident, you might not know about all of these places/groups/guides/forums. Ofcourse we should continue to refer new residents to those info places too, but nothing wrong with a ‘grid wide’ project right?

I reopened this thread in hopes that some of the ‘locals’ might know of cool spots that haven’t been listed yet.  Hope that clears up some confusion! :)

@Feorie Frimon, adding a few places that are worth a visit: 

 

Lake Hali, perfect to rezz your boat and sail, with a little shack where you can hang out with your friends: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lake Hali/138/122/23

Squishy Squid. Beautiful views, surrounded by flowers and butterflies, right next to the Water Taxi to the Fairgrounds: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Squishy Squid/17/164/23

Tickle Ridge. A rustic cabin surrounded by campers, with picnic tables and areas to BBQ (veggies of course..): http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tickle Ridge/226/189/54 

Triple Time. A little pond on top of a hill, with a firepit and seating areas, among Victorians and Cabins: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Triple Time/34/26/60

Freensvillage. Little romantic hideout, by a waterfall and ponds, perfect for hiking: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Freensvillage/164/223/84

Red Hook. Apart from the old train station, there is a rezz area and lots of beautiful hidden corners in the area. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Red Hook/93/89/29

Chippewa Junction. Another train station, plus a cabin where you can say hi to Grumpy Mole. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Chippewa Junction/68/232/69

Aoi Hanabatake. I have no words to describe this Sakura garden. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aoi Hanabatake/124/177/20
