I spent the last two days on the island of Vestvågøy, exploring several aspects of this island. Among those were the (wild) coast between Eggum and Unstad, and the history of the local (wild?) Vikings. Continue reading The wild sides of Vestvågøy

Atmospheric Lofoten?
Unfortunately, the weather today was worse than expected: low-hanging clouds and occasional showers. While this may lead to some atmospheric photos, it is not ideal for hiking. However, since I was changing accommodations, I had to get out. So, I tried to make the best of it. Continue reading Atmospheric Lofoten?

Pure Beauty around Reine
I spent the last three days in the south of Lofoten, in (and around) Reine on the island of Moskenesøya. There, one can truly discover some of the most iconic Lofoten views. Continue reading Pure Beauty around Reine

From Nesland to Nusfjord and back
Third day, third fishing village: Today, Nusfjord was on my agenda. Since I did not know about any hikes up a local mountain this time, I opted for a coastal hike from the neighboring village of Nesland instead. Continue reading From Nesland to Nusfjord and back

The fast way up: Festvågtinden
Today, I again combined a fishing village with its local mountain. This time, however, I did it the other way around: first the hike, then the village walk. Continue reading The fast way up: Festvågtinden

Exploring the Pyrenees
In early autumn 2024, a (to me) previously unknown European mountain range was on my agenda: the Pyrenees. I explored both the French and the Spanish side, and I also spent some time in Andorra.

Farewell to the Pyrenees
Today, I drove back to Tarbes to return my rental car. In order to see a bit of the Pyrenees one last time, I did not choose the (slightly) faster but longer route via the motorway, but instead took a more direct route over a Pyrenees pass, the Col de Port. Continue reading Farewell to the Pyrenees

Unfamiliar Andorra
My last stop in the Pyrenees was the tiny state of Andorra, which is relatively unknown to many Central Europeans– reason enough to take a look! Continue reading Unfamiliar Andorra
