In close proximity to my apartment, there are just so many nice hikes. Therefore, I decided not to spend too much time driving around to explore some area further away. Instead, I did another hike at the edge of the Caldera de Tejeda today. Continue reading Caldera de Tejeda the Third

Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda
Today, I wanted to see more of the Caldera de Tejeda – and from higher up. So, I drove to Cruz de Tejeda, some 450 meters of altitude higher than the town of Tejeda itself. From there, I went on a nice circular hike along the ridge line, and down into La Culata. Continue reading Hiking above the Caldera de Tejeda
Hiking in the Caldera de Tejeda
I am currently staying in Tejeda, in the centre of Gran Canaria. This area is well-known for its gorgeous hikes, as I could experience today myself – even though I ended up on a different trail than I originally intended to take (due to a trail closure).

Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!
Today is my first “true” vacation day, and I said farewell to Las Palmas. After picking up my rental car, I made my way into the island’s interior, where I will spend the next few days. Mostly, I am planning to go hiking – because this area of Gran Canaria has lots to offer in this regard! Continue reading Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!

So, I decided to visit two nice towns a bit further away today: Arucas and Teror. Continue reading Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Caldera from below and above
Today in the morning, I had something close to beach weather for the first time: No winds, and (almost) clear skies. Therefore, I decided to go hiking. Continue reading Caldera from below and above
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.
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
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
