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.

Dune (of Pilat)
On my last “true” vacation day, I went out into nature once again: I made a trip to the Dune du Pilat, the highest wandering dune in Europe. Continue reading Dune (of Pilat)

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

Parque Nacional de Aigüestortes …
After the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, it was time for the next national park (take a deep breath!): Parque Nacional de Aigüestortes y Estany de Sant Maurici – or more precisely, the “first half” of the park (so to speak), i.e. Aigüestortes. A visit of the “second half”, i.e. Estany de Sant Maurici, is scheduled in two days. Continue reading Parque Nacional de Aigüestortes …
