I have spent the last few days in London, attending the Devoxx UK (a software developer conference). On the weekend, I then explored the city. Continue reading Devoxx UK 2023

At the heart of Austrian Democracy
Today, I made the “mistake” of attending the open day of the Austrian Parliament (which was re-opened after its renovation). When I got there 20 minutes before opening, it was already a bit busy. Continue reading At the heart of Austrian Democracy

Hiking at our Southern neighbors
After two years of Corona, it was finally time for a trip abroad again in early Summer 2022 – though still quite close to home: I spent three weeks exploring South Tyrol and Slovenia.

Sleepy Maribor
On the way home, I made a short stopover in Maribor today. It is a nice little town, but (to be honest) I expected a little more. Continue reading Sleepy Maribor

A Log(ar)ical vacation end
On my last “true” vacation day, I just had to go out into nature again. I chose the Logar Valley, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in the country. Given my small sample size, I cannot confirm that with certainty – but I can say that it is very picturesque indeed. Continue reading A Log(ar)ical vacation end

The caves of Škocjan county
Actually, I wanted go travel back North (and thus into the mountains) again today. According to the weather forecast, however, this could have been a rather wet day. So, I drove South instead. On the one hand the weather should be better there, and on the other hand one can go hiking below the surface, in karst caves. Continue reading The caves of Škocjan county

A cozy capital
When you are spending ten days in Slovenia, a visit to the capital should also be on the itinerary. Therefore, I spent a couple of hours in Ljubljana today. Continue reading 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

Off to Bohinj!
I spent the last two days in an accommodation near Lake Bohinj. Since this region was so beautiful, I limited myself to exploring the immediate surroundings. Why seek far afield when waterfall, lake and gorge are all within walking distance? Continue reading Off to Bohinj!

An (un)pronounced beautiful pass
Another winding mountain road! I followed the Soča again, only this time even beyond its source, up to Vršič pass. This pass is the watershed between Soča and Sava rivers – and a great area for hiking! Continue reading An (un)pronounced beautiful pass
