Sweden 2012 (3)

With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and camped wild. The nice thing about Sweden is, that it’s legal, hence no need to worry about being seen. And it’s nice to have water always close, a swim to wash…

Dresden 2022

During my visit to Germany this spring I also had the chance to visit Dresden. After almost two weeks of warm weather in Europe (which included the time I packed for the trip) it was bitterly cold that day with 2 to 6°C due to a north wind. Even six layers weren’t enough to stay…

Austria 2008

The day started for me with a little migraine. So we only took a short walk to the portal of the Tauern Tunnel. Luckily the effects of the migraine weren’t too bad and by midday things were getting better. The buddy I was on vacation with wanted to relax for the day, but in the…

Brittany 2013 (3)

The sun was hot on this August day and we were really happy to have found a shady spot in such a beautiful setting for our late lunch. Maybe it was an afternoon snack instead, who knows 🙂 After the refreshment there was a walk to the sea before we continued the last 15 km…

Berlin 2021

I visited Germany last year by plane, mainly because I didn’t want to read and follow the regulations of two other countries (France, Belgium) through which the train journey goes (*). Since the flight was on time and entry with an EU passport was very quick (**), I still had a lot of time before…

Slovakia 2013

These photos were taken when leaving the High Tatras. Before that I spent a few days at work and two days on holiday there. Today the bike tour back to Germany started. It would probably have been a great time-lapse if I had thought so at sunrise. Then it was completely clear there and there…

Cornwall 2018 (3)

On my bike tour through Cornwall and Devon in the south-west of England, this stretch was something special: several kilometres of flat path. Before that it was a lot of ups and downs for two and a half days. And also after that flat stretch, I still had a lot of vertical metres. One way…

Norway 2014 (6)

The two pictures were taken within two minutes. And they remind me of my feelings, which wasn’t great at the time. The first sight of reindeer was somewhat exciting. But on the other side it was the third day walking with a heavy backpack, the landscape was barren, it was uphill, the clouds hang low,…

Brittany 2013 (2)

We saw this menhir from a small road on our bike tour through Brittany. It was pure coincidence, but impressive. A little further away was a very crooked stone.

Norway 2014 (5)

The was the second day of our hike in Norway, and it just looked lovely. The rest the night before was good, especially after a refreshing (very short) bath in one of the small ponds next to the hut. The views were just wonderful.
