Anticipating the forecast of all-day sunshine, I set off today on my long-planned tour through the Plumgau region. I had also chosen this route because of its mostly open terrain, hoping to soak up some sun before the weather turned unpleasant. However, upon arriving at the starting point in Pflaumheim

Today, friends and I set off from Bensheim in glorious autumn weather, starting from the Schönhof parking lot on the B47 and heading up to the Schönberger Kreuz. Along the way, we were able to collect plenty of walnuts, which were of excellent quality. Sweeping views across the Odenwald forest and the

Instead of driving myself, I went to Luxembourg City, the capital of the country of the same name, today with a regional travel agency. The metropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a comfortable, stress-free journey with breakfast included on board, we arrived after just under three hours and

I visited Mellieha for the first time in 2016. The hotel of the organizer of my very first trip to Malta was there. I was immediately captivated by the manageable size of the old town center, especially the large cathedral with the sanctuary below, a pilgrimage destination, and the nearby grotto shrine

On the last day of my trip this year, I first spent time at and on top of St. Agatha's Tower, which I could also see from my hotel window. From the bus stop, I walked steeply uphill up the road in the hot sun. The Red Tower was once part of the extensive coastal defense system of fortifications and watchtowers

Today's excursion included the Dingli Cliffs, Malta's highest point at 260 m, as well as Mdina, the former capital of Malta, also known as the Silent City.

From the cliffs of the Dingli Cliffs, you have a sweeping view of the sea and along the rocky coast. From here, the cliffs plunge almost vertically

Today's itinerary included a full-day trip to Gozo. The neighboring island is more rural, more "eco" and natural, and everything is more expansive than in Malta.

From our hotel, we could have easily walked to the ferry in a short time. But since it was already booked for 8:15 a.m. (a little later would

Today I was out on my own again, walking along the promenade along the coast from Spinola Bay to Sliema and the harbor. From there, you can take the ferry to the other side, including Valletta. The sun took several long breaks today, alternating with minutes-long bursts of heavy rain. Just as I got off

After 2016/17/18, I returned to Malta after seven years, the second time with a tour group. And I was just as enthusiastic. I like the warm, sunny climate well into the autumn, the relaxed atmosphere, and the diverse culture, not only that of the Knights Templar, Romans, and Arabs, but also that of the

Today, Dieter and I wanted to go to the Schmucker Brewery in Ober-Mossau for a good beer. But first, we had to earn it to make it taste even better. So, late in the morning, we set off from there in glorious, warm late summer weather on the "Saphira" Dragon Trail (one of the four Dragon Trails in the
