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

Kraków and the High Tatras
In September 2011, I spent a week in Kraków and the High Tatras. Now, some short blog entries are finally available telling more about this trip.

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.

Hiking like an Eagle
For the last two days, I have been hiking in the High Tatras, along the mountain ridge which marks the border between Poland and Slovakia. Continue reading Hiking like an Eagle

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

Jotunheimen, the National Park of Rain
The rain that we did not have in Bergen was waiting for us in Jotunheimen National Park. On our arrival day, we still had nice weather, and were even camping in the wild on the outskirts of the park. After that, however, the floodgates of heaven opened. Continue reading Jotunheimen, the National Park of Rain
