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

Back to the Fjord of the South
At the end of my stay in Montenegro, I returned once more to Kotor, which I really enjoyed already during my previous visit the year before. Continue reading Back to the Fjord of the South

About Black and Other Lakes
Durmitor National Park ist one of the most beautiful regions of the Montenegrin mountains – or, at least, one of the most visited: Daily, hundreds of tourists are taken here by bus from the coast. At Crno Jezero, they get out for maybe half an hour, before returning back to the coast. However, there is much more to explore here! Continue reading About Black and Other Lakes

First Contact with the “Black Mountains”
I spent my first two nights in Montenegro in Kolašin, which is situated between the Bjelasica mountains in the North, and the Komovi mountains in the South. Surprisingly enough, this town is hardly touristy at all, despite its great location. Continue reading First Contact with the “Black Mountains”

Exploring the Hohe Wand
The Hohe Wand is an elevated plateau South of Vienna. On one side, it has quite steep cliffs which are, quite probably, responsible for its name (in German, "Hohe Wand" means "high wall"). It is very popular with rock climbers, and paragliders. Continue reading Exploring the Hohe Wand

Fjord of the South
From Dubrovnik, I continued down the coast to the South, into Montenegro. Even while I was still on the bus on my way to Kotor, I had already decided that I really like this area. Continue reading Fjord of the South

Best of the West
From May 8, to May 30, 2010, I was travelling in United States on the "Best of the West" tour offered by Trek America. Although the group was older than expected (with an average age of about 50), the mix worked really well – in fact, even better than I could have wished for. So, the age did not really matter after all.
What turned out to be (much) worse than expected, though, was the weather. We experienced pretty much everything you can imagine: from hail to rain to snow, from sunshine to strong winds (including a snow storm, and a sand storm). Despite these adverse conditions, however, it was a really great holiday.

A Biblical Place on Earth
Zion NP got its name from the first (mormon) settler because it was so idyllic and untouched. In fact, it basically still is (considering the fact that it is a tourist destination), and is definitely one of my favourites on this trip. Continue reading A Biblical Place on Earth
