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…

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,…

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.

Norway 2014 (4)

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…

Germany 2014

I think this is one of the loveliest stretches of the cycle path along the Danube river. It’s narrow and hilly and so the area is quite empty of people, and more importantly, cars. This was the second time I cycled it on a tour from Thuringia to visit friends in Switzerland. River cycle paths…

Norway 2014 (2)

The hike from hut to hut along the Norwegian-Swedish Border had many great views. Being so remotely was nice. It also made the hikes harder, as we had to bring food for a week, sleeping bag, and every thing else that might be needed for a week away from civilisation, but every arrival felt good.…

Thuringia 2010

I have no memory, where the photo was taken. But I do like the variety of different greens, together with the colourful spots from the summer flowers.
