Hiking to Nockspitze in the Alps

Hiking to Nockspitze in the Alps

Remember the time when I drove 10 hours across Norway to hike the Trolltunga on the only sunny day, to then just drive 10 hours back to Oslo? Well, it felt like I did it again, but this time with the Austrian Alps. After a…

My holiday at Lake Garda, Italy

I must warn you about this blog post. It could contain images that might make you want to have a holiday at Lake Garda in Italy very soon. I certainly went there spontaneously, trying to find a sunny spot to relax. I haven’t been to…

Cycling the Altmuehltal Radweg – my Bavarian Lockdown

Cycling the Altmuehltal Radweg – my Bavarian Lockdown

My 14 day Quarantine, after arriving from Spain, was quick and is now well over! And as Germany and Bavaria are still in lockdown throughout May, I am spending my days mostly outdoors. Walking and cycling happily every day! As long as the weather permits…

Back to Germany amid Coronavirus – my escape

Back to Germany amid Coronavirus – my escape

To go back to Germany or not? That was the question I asked myself as I finished week 5 of the spanish lockdown in my Altea apartment. I mean, how many more weeks could I walk the garage? On the other hand, going back to…
