Today's excursion to the Curonian Spit was a very memorable one: The mixture of more sand dunes, which are over 50 meters high, and dense forest makes this area rather unique (at least in my experience). Continue reading Today’s Special Combo: Forest, Sand, and Sea!

On my way to the coast, I stopped in Šiauliai which is close to a very unique sight: the Hill of Crosses. Continue reading Lithuanian Pilgrimage

Vilnius with a Cold
As I obviously caught a cold while cycling in the rain, I had two rather uneventful days, and did not see a lot of Vilnius: I just did a short two-hour stroll through the city – which is very short even for me. Continue reading Vilnius with a Cold

The Last Primeval Forest in Europe
The last two days I spent in Bialowieża which is home to the (allegedly) last primeval forest in all of Europe. I do not know whether this is true or not, but it is definitely a very beautiful region. Continue reading The Last Primeval Forest in Europe

Warsaw in Football Fever?
Today, I spent some hours in Warsaw on my way to my final destination. Even though the opening of the European Soccer Championship will be tomorrow, the city was not too crowded. In fact, at some points you would not even have noticed the upcoming competition. Continue reading Warsaw in Football Fever?

All hiked out in Grazalema
Today, for the first time the weather was like I expected: Rather cool in the morning, so that you still need a jumper, but quickly getting warmer so that you can set out for a hike at 10.00 a.m. in a short-sleeved shirt. And that is exactly what I did today. Continue reading All hiked out in Grazalema

Delhard Kabila and the Green Gorge
Today, I did a hike through the Garganta Verde, a deep and narrow, but green gorge (hence its name). For this hike, you need a permit of the National Park Service, which I reserved by phone. However, my Spanish does not seem to be as good as I would like it to be, because the permit was issued for a certain Delhard Kabila
