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.

Sweden 2012 (2)
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…

Norway 2014 (4)
During our hiking trip in Norway, we saw larger animals only twice. And both times it were only reindeer. When we rented the key for the huts, we were told to be aware of the bears, and it was really nice not to see them. The reindeer were quite shy, staying away of us. People…

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…

Switzerland 2014
We visited Friends in Switzerland (our travel there was already covered in one post) and one day we went together to the Niederhorn. And while enjoying the landscape, a mountain goat appeared behind the railing and also wasn’t disturbed by our sudden interest, knowing that we wouldn’t dare to go anywhere close to the steep…

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…

Norway 2014 (3)
The glacier relatively close to the hut (Vuomahytta) would have been a nice goal for a day trip, I think. It would have still been a day of hiking, as two thirds of the distance there wouldn’t have been a path. However, we didn’t schedule a rest day in our hiking trip in Norway, and…

Cornwall 2018 (2)
The weather in the UK during that June and July in 2018 was surprisingly sunny. I remember thinking two weeks before my holiday, that if it’s sunny now, I will probably have a lot of rain on my cycle tour. And even this one week of dry weather was unexpected. But no, it didn’t rain…
