Finally back in Hamburg. Our favorite big city offered us a place to stay for a few days. In addition to its cultural offerings, Hamburg is also a special city for nature lovers. We first went to see one of the musicals, this time it was Michael Jackson. Without question, and a standard for us, a visit

It's grandchildren's weekend. And what do Grandma and Grandpa think of? A visit to Gera Zoo. When we arrived in Gera, we were surprised by the number of parked cars. Well, we found a parking space anyway, and then the adventure began. As it turned out, today was the Zoo and Dahlia Festival in Gera. The

We've now arrived at our friends' house in Thun. It's wonderful to know such lovely people in Switzerland. For the past two days, I've been helping my friend get a train signal bell and rebuild it in his garden. Like me, he's also a model railroader with a garden railway.
Today, however, we wanted to

With 37 degrees Celsius forecast for today, I had to come up with something as a route planner. Either go up high or do something with water. I opted for the latter, which in South Tyrol usually means irrigation canals. So I took the train to Laas again and then continued on by bus 🚌 as a rail replacement

Rain was forecast for today starting at midday, so only a short hike was planned. We'd walk to Goldrain and take the train back. We needed some exercise, as we had a very extensive and delicious meal last night at the Sonneck in Allitz. Highly recommended. It wasn't an extensive menu, but it featured

Our landlord recommended two things in the midsummer temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. First, head to the south side of the mountains, and second, continue upwards. Today, we took advantage of the altitude and took the bus to Sulden. Sulden is located in the Ortler region, and the Stelvio Pass

Although we've been to the area several times, a visit to the Botanical Gardens at Trauttmansdorff Castle is a must for us as hobby gardeners. Today, just let the pictures sink in! We're always impressed by the beauty of nature.

As fans of local transport, especially on vacation, today began with a train ride to Latsch, where we then transferred to the bus 🚌 to the Martelltal Valley. Connections naturally align with a few minutes of waiting time, but that doesn't bother us at all on vacation. A large bus took only four passengers

A short tour today. We started off again with the Vinschgau Railway, this time to Laas. This is where the Vinschgau marble industry is located. As a railway fan, I know that there used to be a cable car here, which transported the large marble blocks from the mountain to the valley. A narrow-gauge railway

This year, I made it to our company's annual beach volleyball tournament, which is held by craftsmen. It's only a short walk, but you shouldn't overdo it if you're thirsty. Unfortunately, I haven't dared to play for a few years now. I can still hike with my knees, but volleyball isn't really my thing
