I have broken up today’s day of driving with two of the most-visited tourist attractions in Scotland: Eilean Donan and Loch Ness. Continue reading Touristic Scotland

Duirinish/Dunvegan Double
As I have been hiking quite a lot in the past two days, I only did some shorter hikes today. For that, I went to the Duirinish peninsula and to Dunvegan. Continue reading Duirinish/Dunvegan Double
Castle and Coast
Today was actually the ideal hiking weather: bright blue sky basically the whole day. However, the (longer) hike I had in mind would have meant another hour’s drive (each way) on single lane roads, and I did not want to do that again. Instead, I visited a sight closer to my accommodation, Duart Castle, and simply combined that with a short hike. Continue reading Castle and Coast
Mull is not dull
Getting there was quite stressful (after a ferry cancellation which made me drive three hours extra), but at least it was worth the effort: The Isle of Mull is indeed a beautiful place! Continue reading Mull is not dull
Royal London
My second weekend in London was mostly dedicated to royal palaces: I have visited both Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace. Continue reading Royal London
A cozy capital

Beautiful Bled
My tour of lakes continues: Today, I visited Lake Bled. Additonally, I also hiked through Vintgar Gorge (which is close by). Continue reading Beautiful Bled
Exploring Val Venosta
It is finally time to travel again! I am still limiting myself to (Central) Europe, though: I will be spending my time in South Tyrol and Slovenia. I started my trip with a few days in Val Venosta, in the West of South Tyrol. Continue reading Exploring Val Venosta
Long Day of Museums
Today was a rather untypical day for me: It was focused on tourist sights and museums. Still, I also managed to squeeze in a short hike in the morning. In the afternoon, I visited Hohenwerfen Castle. In the evening, I finally participated in the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (Long Night of Museums). Continue reading Long Day of Museums
A Day in a Princedom
I started my trip through Austria with a day in – Liechtenstein! This might seem illogical, but why not visit this small country when I am close by: I arrived this morning by train in Feldkirch, just across the border from Liechtenstein. So, I spent a day exploring some of its town – and in the end, also Feldkirch in Austria. Continue reading A Day in a Princedom
