Actually, I wanted go travel back North (and thus into the mountains) again today. According to the weather forecast, however, this could have been a rather wet day. So, I drove South instead. On the one hand the weather should be better there, and on the other hand one can go hiking below the surface, in karst caves. Continue reading The caves of Škocjan county

Prags, not Prague
Today, on my last (full) day in South Tyrol, I visited another tourist hot spot: Pragser Wildsee, also known by its Italian name Lago di Braies. Continue reading Prags, not Prague

Look at this lake!
Today, the weather was supposed to be a bit more unstable again. However, the latest days with “changeable” weather actually turned out quite nice. So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!

Lots of tourists at Tre Cime di Lavaredo
Today, I went on one of the most famous hikes in the region: around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. As it is a very well-known hike, I was definitely not the only one with this plan. Still, this area has its good reputation for a reason! Continue reading Lots of tourists at Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Hiking in South Tyrol 201
Today, the weather forecast was again more suitable for hiking: still some clouds and a bit cooler, but at least no rain. So, I dedicated my time to the Dolomite mountains again. Again, I chose the modus operandi that I already applied two days ago: going up by cable car, and then a leisurely hike at 2000+ meters above sea level. Continue reading Hiking in South Tyrol 201

Hiking in South Tyrol 101
When you are researching hiking areas in South Tyrol, you will stumble across Seiser Alm (Alpe di Siusi) rather sooner than later. This alpine meadow is very well-known – and for a good reason, as I could see for myself on today’s hike. Continue reading Hiking in South Tyrol 101

Hallstatt in Corona times
Today, the weather was supposed (and did turn out) to be rather changeable. So, I decided to do the tourist thing and visit Hallstatt and its salt mine. Continue reading Hallstatt in Corona times

Back to Cape Town
Like last year, I ended my trip to South Africa in Cape Town. This time, I focused a bit more on the recent history of the city than the main tourist sites: I did some walking tours, and visited Robben Island and the District Six Museum. Continue reading Back to Cape Town

The ruins of Herculaneum
Today, it was rather rainy. So, I decided to forgo my planned hike on the Sorrento peninsula, and visited the ruins of Herculaneum and the National Museum of Archeology in Naples instead. Continue reading The ruins of Herculaneum
