I spent the last five days teleworking from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. However, I also enjoyed my free time in the (late) afternoons. Continue reading A (work) week in Las Palmas

Empty Arucas, crowded Teror
Also today, I was drawn to places outside the city. I will spend the next week in Las Palmas anyway – mostly working, but hopefully I will also find some time for short explorations within the city. 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
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
The Isonzo Canyons
Yesterday, I already liked the Soča (aka Isonzo) river a lot. So, I decided to take the longer trip to the Soča Valley today in order to hike part of the Soča Trail. However, I decided against the almost eight-hour variant over the full 27.6 kilometers (from the source to Bovec). Instead, I opted for the scenically most interesting part (according to my guidebook, at least) which starts in Soča village. Continue reading The Isonzo Canyons
From waterdrip to waterfall
Today was dedicated to the Kozjak river. My first accommodation in Slovenia is on the way up to the mountain where the river originates. So, I was able to hike to a waterfall both in the upper reaches of the river, and a little further down. Continue reading From waterdrip to waterfall
