Hiking Trolltunga in Norway

Hiking Trolltunga in Norway

Midsummer Madness in Sweden

Midsummer Madness in Sweden

I have been in Sweden for a few days now and let me tell you, there is a midsummer madness in the Archipelagos of Sweden. You have to keep on reading to see what I mean. It might be due to the weather as there is…

My 24 hours in Denmark

Leaving Hamburg behind I went up north towards the Danish border. I thought it would be nice to drive through Denmark rather than catching the ferry from Kiel to Copenhagen. I will be crossing the ocean with a ferry pretty soon (Sweden to Baltic here I come), so…

After my drive and the simple towns of Serbia I was hungry for Hungary. And Pecs and Budapest were the main stops! The countryside was beautiful and the colour contrasts splendid. Although Budapest is the obvious place to visit, there are many more lovely places in…
