Fürstensteig hike

The weather wasn't exactly excellent today, so we went to Liechtenstein, specifically to Gaflei, above Vaduz, to walk the Fürstensteig trail. It's not, as one might assume... READ MORE

Hike to the Golden Sun – Calanda

Why go on vacation when all the beauty is right here. A few weeks ago, I read about several abandoned mine shafts in Calanda. Gold was discovered and mined there around 1850. The so-called Golden Sun is said to be located at an altitude of about 1300 meters, roughly at the height of the village of Felsberg. That was reason enough to drive 10 km up the Rhine and set off on an exciting hike.

Today we went on another hike to the Mittenberg in Chur. Together with a buddy, the three of us walked to a great viewpoint and

Today I'm going to show you a really delicious and healthy recipe for a Quinoa Mango Salad that can be prepared in less than 25 minutes. If you, like me, are looking for something after work

The Laax Glacier webcam is located on the Vorab Glacier and offers views of the Vorab restaurant, among other things. Here you have great opportunities to spend your free time in both winter and summer. In winter, of course, there's a little more... READ MORE

Berlin 2015

And off we go to the beautiful German federal capital to visit my brother 🙂 One more quick stop in Zurich, where we'll meet up at Yooji to quickly get some energy for the long flight from Basel to Berlin.

After a pleasant flight, we landed punctually in Schönefeld and were warmly welcomed by Etja and Nadja.

Just back from the USA, I'm spontaneously going to Sweden, more precisely to the high

On my new blog, I naturally don't want to withhold our USA trip from you. The texts are from an older blog, so I mostly just copied and pasted things =) Have fun reading and

USA Day 2: Seattle 3:30 AM, MORNING! Time for a relaxed coffee in the hotel lobby. Both feeling great and well-rested. Thanks, jet lag.

USA Day 3: Today we slept in. At 7 am, there was just as lavish a breakfast as the day before. Helene skipped the shabby coffee, while Dennis has already gotten used to it.

1. Agenda item: Tour of the Boeing factory in Seattle.

USA Day 4: What a wonder. There was a rich, American breakfast with lousy coffee. How do Americans do it? Our route today led us further south along the coast on Highway 101. On our way to Newport, Oregon Coast, we stopped in Lincoln City for our second outlet shopping spree.

USA Day 5: Conclusion in the morning: A good hotel doesn't automatically mean a better breakfast. Also, it's already the fourth day that the intruder into the White House is being reported on TV. Boring!

USA Day 6: First stop after breakfast (with shabby coffee): Taco Bell! Easy to reach thanks to the numerous food exits on the highway. Convenient!

USA Day 7: We woke the owner at 7 AM because we were leaving. It was mean, but necessary. Thankfully, there was no breakfast and

USA Day 8: After a classic breakfast with even worse, terrible coffee, we found a cozy hotel in Yosemite National Park.

USA Day 9: Refreshed after a peaceful night, we went to the old hotel saloon for breakfast. They had really delicious food and even good coffee. This tasty breakfast motivated us to stay another night. This is how travel should be.

USA Day 10: Today is about train travel. Right after breakfast, we headed to the railway museum. Jamestown is featured in many Westerns and Hollywood films.
