Skellig Islands – Where Heaven and Sea Meet During our road trip along the west and south coast of Ireland, a visit to the Skellig Islands was also on the list. It was a day with beautiful weather, despite the strong winds. But that shouldn’t spoil the fun when you’re heading out to sea by […]
Ireland
Wicklow Mountains – The Garden of Ireland During our road trip along the west and south coast of Ireland, we concluded this journey with a final stop in the Wicklow Mountains. We stayed at Forest View Woodland Lodge, an excellent base for excursions in this beautiful area. The very friendly owners are extremely helpful with […]
Dolomites – Italy
Vallunga – An Oasis of Tranquillity in the Dolomites During our last trip to the Dolomites, we stayed at Vista Dolomites in Santa Cristina Val Gardena, a peacefully located accommodation with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. From here, it’s just a few minutes’ drive to the Vallunga valley. A beautiful location with fantastic hiking […]
Dolomites – Italy
Cascate di Fanes – Hidden Waterfalls in the Dolomites I’m always searching for those places that haven’t been taken over by mass tourism. A location where you can truly enjoy nature, savour your brought-along cup of coffee undisturbed, and photograph to your heart’s content. Cascate di Fanes is certainly such a place in the Dolomites. […]
Dolomites – Italy
Tre Cime di Lavaredo – The Icon of the Dolomites When you say Dolomites, you say Tre Cime di Lavaredo – or as German speakers call it: Drei Zinnen. It’s arguably the most iconic location in the Dolomites. Three mighty rock towers rising like battlements from the Alpine landscape. Recognisable, impressive, and characteristic of this […]
Bornholm – Denmark
Helligdomsklipperne – The Sacred Cliffs of Bornholm Regular readers will know by now that Bornholm is one of our favourite destinations. It’s a beautiful island in the Baltic Sea. It belongs to Denmark, although its location is actually closer to Sweden than to Denmark itself. It’s an island with many faces. You could say: Denmark […]
Ireland
Glanteenassig Forest Park – A Hidden Paradise on the Dingle Peninsula I’m always searching for those locations that haven’t yet been discovered by the masses. Of course, you visit the main attractions when you’re in the area, but every now and then you find a gem that remains largely unexplored. Glanteenassig is one such place. […]
Ireland
Abbey Island – Where Irish Beauty and History Meet During our road trip along the west and south coast of Ireland, we were advised to visit Abbey Island. I can honestly say this was perhaps the best tip we received during our stay in beautiful Ireland. What an incredible place. A unique location where the […]
Bornholm – Denmark
Hammershus – Ruins, Wind and Light at the Edge of Bornholm I’ve written about it before and even created a book about it, Bornholm – Pearl of the Baltic Sea. It’s an island with many faces. You could say, Denmark in miniature. The most beautiful beaches in the south to rugged rocky coasts to the […]
Dolomites – Italy
Lago Federa – Silence, Reflections and High-Altitude Light in the Dolomites During our stay in the Dolomites, Lago Federa wasn’t initially on our list. We generally don’t work with a fixed list anyway. We prefer to ask the local population for tips. The owner of our accommodation gave us this tip. He mentioned Lago Federa […]
