Today was a really relaxing day: In the morning, I visited the remains of a mozarabic fortress, and explored the area of the dams of El Chorro Gorge, whereas in the afternoon, I was lazing around on the terrace of my accommodation. Continue reading From the 9th to the 20th Century

Fortresses vs. Flamingos vs. Fissures: 1:0:≫10000
Based on the fact that I actually wanted to see flamingos and strange rock formations, the above result (especially the first two thirds) might seem a bit strange, if not even disappointing. However, I was again happy with today's adventures. Continue reading Fortresses vs. Flamingos vs. Fissures: 1:0:≫10000

Unwinding in El Chorro
El Chorro is a Mecca for climbers. However, I opted against going straight up the rocks, but rather explored the area by hiking on several hiking paths. In total, I was away for nearly six hours – maybe not that relaxing in the eyes of some people. Continue reading Unwinding in El Chorro

The Beauty of the North
In July 2011, I finally returned to Norway (more than six years after my first visit). This time, I stayed for two weeks, and visited the south of the country (Bergen, Sognefjord, Jotunheimen National Park, Stavanger, and Lysefjord). Once again, I was stunned by the beauty of the Norwegian landscape.

Back to the Country of Black Mountains
In June 2011, I visited Montenegro again (after my first stay in September 2010). This time, I spent ten days there, during which I discovered the true gem of the country: its mountains which are mostly untouched by tourism.

Kjeragbolten, or: A Tight Spot
Our second hike in Lysefjord was also quite popular, but not as popular as the one to Preikestolen. Our goal, however, was also quite spectacular: Kjerabgolten, a boulder which is wedged into a mountain crevasse almost 1000 meters above Lysefjord. Continue reading Kjeragbolten, or: A Tight Spot

Tourist Crowds at Preikestolen
Despite the warnings of my fellow traveller, I wanted to visit Preikestolen. Unfortunately, however, she was right: Preikestolen is truly overrun by tourists. Continue reading Tourist Crowds at Preikestolen
