Scotland 2017 (3)

We had actually attempted to climb Stac Pollaidh twice. The first time from the back, without a path. It was nice, but also quite exhausting, as the greenery is not just grass. So we returned back before it got steep. The second time we went up the hiking trail on the south side. Because of…

Norway 2014 (9)

After crossing the Divielva we hiked up for some time through idyllic forests. But it was also nice to have a wide view again at some point.

La Palma 2014 (5)

My first weekend bike tour on La Palma led up the Cumbre along the LP-3, just to see how far I could get. Thanks to the early start, the road was relatively quiet. As a slow cyclist you are otherwise quite an obstacle, as it is not easy for the cars to overtake on the…

Norway 2014 (8)

According to the map we expected a bridge, but only found a ford. It wasn’t the first we had to cross, the nice thing was that the sun was shining this time. The only problem was that we only had one pair of sandals. This was always allowed to be worn by those who wanted…

Hawaii 2011

After one of the nights of observation at the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, I was given a guided tour of the telescope and was then able to enjoy the sunrise from the “catwalk”. In the image above you can see the shadow of the mountain I’m on projected onto the other tall mountain on the…

Canada 2012

On the sidelines of a conference, and on the way back from Maui, I had the chance to see Niagara Falls as well. The visit was a bit different than what I preferred at the time, we came in a large group and in general Niagara Falls is a very touristy place so totally different…

Most houses on La Palma have a roof terrace and due to the steep slopes, every house has a good view in at least one direction. Since I liked to get up early and because of the La Palma time zone, sunrises and sunsets are very late, I was able to enjoy the sunrise regularly.…

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,…

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…
