My last stop in Lithuania was Aukštaitija National Park, which boasts more than 100 lakes that are mostly interconnected by small streams. Therefore, the best way to explore this region is by an (overnight) canoe trip. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time for that, so I simply rented a bike.

Today’s Special Combo: Forest, Sand, and Sea!
Today's excursion to the Curonia 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!

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

Cycling the Rallarvegen
After more than six years, I finally returned to Norway. My vacation already started with the first highlight: a two-day bike trip on Rallarvegen – even with bright sunshine (at least on the first day)! What more could you ask for? Continue reading Cycling the Rallarvegen

Moab, the Outdoor Mecca of the United States
Originally, Moab was on my wishlist only because of its proximity to Arches NP (which I really wanted to visit). As it turned out, the small town has a lot more to offer than "just" one national park. Continue reading Moab, the Outdoor Mecca of the United States

In Vienna, using the bike for everyday transportation is still not as common as it could be. In order to improve that, there is still a lot to do, but some steps have already been taken. One of them was the introduction of the Citybikes back in 2003. Continue reading Citybike Vienna

Staycation in Vienna
Even though Vienna is not close to some mountains (as, for example, the city of Steyr, where I was working for three years), there are quite a few possibilities for outdoor sports within the city. The Donauinsel (Danube Island) is especially popular. Continue reading Staycation in Vienna

Damberg Time Trial
A few weeks before leaving Steyr for good, I am beginning to appreciate the advantages of living in this small town. The close mountains, as well as the valleys of the Enns and Steyr rivers, offer great opportunities for cycling. Continue reading Damberg Time Trial
