Thuringia 2012

At the moment it looks like that outside again. Spring is here with warm days and awakening nature. I like the contrast between white flowers and green fields. It pulls me outside, also because you can rest comfortably again. After recently being able to take my fist long break on the grass without freezing for,…

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…

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…

Ore mountains 2008

During the semester break I had the chance to go for a ride on my bike on a sunny morning. The sunshine was great, but the best moment was when I came out of the forest and could see the mist over the valley, something I had very rarely seen before. It wasn’t until a…

Thuringia 2008

This is one of the many photos I’ve taken on walking, hiking, or bicycle trips over the years. Just a snapshot of the landscape because I liked it that much. When I look at it today, the colours of the sky are a bit weak, but you can’t have everything.

Ore mountains 2010

I hope winter for this year is over, as I’m looking very much forward to cycling in the warmth. This year I didn’t see just some snowflakes falling, and not even anything on the ground. Hopefully there will be more snow in the next winters (but there is not much hope: https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch/). The photo was…

Taunus 2008

During the semester break I took the time to visit family. One day we hiked to the highest mountain in the area, the Hohe Wurzel (618m) in the Taunus mountains. Unfortunately, around noon it clouded over, so once the view was amazing the view didn’t look as great. Still, the bridges over the Rhine are…

Thuringia 2010 (2)

Autumn starts to become visible in the image. It was one of the many cycle rides I did in the local area I was living at the time.

Ore mountains 2004

At the time I worked shifts, including weekends. And I cycled every day 15 km to work and 15 km back, which meant I was really fit. One sunny Wednesday I headed out cycling and, after half a day, passed by this bridge. Getting off the bicycle to take pictures and look around was a…

Ruhr valley 2021

To visit new friends in person, I used my last trip to Germany to also pass by the Ruhr valley area. However, I’m not a great fan of cities (as visible in the posts), so as a compromise I stayed in Hattingen. From there it’s easy to use the public transport to get to the…
