Summer-of-22

Our long journey ended just as it began: with excellent fish soup and pizza at Il Padrino in Lieboch. But let's start from the beginning. In Bamberg, we went for a swim...

After many bumpy kilometers on the German A7, we arrived in Bamberg in the early afternoon. We had read a lot about Bamberg, its rich history and the almost completely preserved...

The farewell from the short visit in Ribe was not easy. Ribe and the surroundings are particularly appealing and you can spend some beautiful days in the city, cycling and at...

The detour to Ribe and the Wadden Sea was worth it. First, we went swimming in the 'heated' pool. It wasn't much warmer than the sea, but at least we had it all to ourselves :-)...

When you say Playmobil Park, you have to say Legoland too. Since our return journey goes through Denmark and we have never been there before, we visited Legoland in Billund. It...

The ferry from Gothenburg to Fredrikshavn only takes 3 hours, but we didn't hold back. Since the prices were quite cheap, we booked a premium spot for the car between horses and...

The last week of our long and adventurous vacation has begun. We will be crossing from Gothenburg to Fredrikshavn. So we left Oslo and drove back to Sweden. Norway is known for...

Today was a calm day. We arrived at the campsite yesterday after midnight and it was 1:00 before we went to sleep. So we didn't wake up until around 10 o'clock, and it was...

Oslo is a modern city. Especially in the harbor area, a lot has happened in the last 20 years. The new opera house and the modern office and residential buildings give the...

We were lucky when we spontaneously left the vehicle convoy behind the 'Ledebil'. Just to explain, on construction sites on 'busier' sections of roads, the accumulated vehicles...

It was 10:00 again when Anita and Julius woke up. We slowly got up and going. A quick trip to the toilet, prepare breakfast, eat breakfast, tidy up, and clean the motorhome....

The morning was quite rainy, so we took the day slowly. Sleeping in after yesterday's exertions, having a good breakfast, doing household chores. We skipped the glacier museum...

Today, the glacier tour was finally on the agenda. After the first attempt in the north (Svartisen) fell through, we were very happy that the weather looked good and stable...

It was worth stopping at a rest area above the Geirangerfjord. The morning was great - the fog slowly dissipated and the fjord came into view. We had a leisurely breakfast and...

The road 63 leads from Andalsnes into the mountains and is one of the busiest roads in Norway in the summer, although it is usually nothing more than a narrow local road, which...

The Alesund Aquarium is already the 2nd out of a total of 3 on our trip. It was advertised as the best aquarium in Northern Europe in the travel guide, and after becoming...

Trondheim is a beautiful modern, yet cozy student city where you can do a lot. Therefore, today we visited the Dom, the bishop's residence, the Norwegian crown jewels, and the...

The night was short as there was a lot of traffic and noise near our sleeping place. So we quickly drove on towards Trondheim. The area here is predominantly agricultural and...

Along the coastal road, we visited Rorvik at the end of the Nordland - that's the long, thin part in the middle of Norway - as the museum was recommended in the travel guide....

Just a few kilometers from Vega is Torghatten - a huge rock hole with a height of 35 meters and a length of 160 meters. It was washed out by the sea before the island began to...

On the 2nd day in Vega, the weather was nice. This time, we left the bikes behind to visit the local museum focusing on eider ducks and rural life in Vega. After a hearty...

The sun found us again and woke us up from bed with its gentle rays. We rushed to get up, as you never know what it will be like in a few hours. The island of Vega is known for...

The weather is slowly improving. There is hardly any rain anymore, but the wind remains strong and with cloudy skies it is around 13°C. But the children don't mind. Konstantin...

Almost everywhere in Europe there is a water shortage. Subjectively and objectively, however, we are in that small region where that is definitely not true. In the region of...

The overnight ferry was entertaining and we arrived in Bodo around 3am. Anita mentioned that the sea was quite rough and the large ship was rocking heavily. The men were asleep...

Sunshine from early morning until evening. Today the weather was perfect for a hike. So we headed to A. Unfortunately, that was not only our plan, but also the plan of many,...

Today is dedicated to cultural and culinary delights. After all campsites were full and the "wild" spots were very nice - and therefore in high demand among campers - we were...

We continued on the E10, the international highway - which rather resembles a local road in the most remote corner of a monastery - along the Lofoten Islands. First, we drove in...

The weather is a bit changeable. Rain and sun alternate every half an hour and additionally a strong, cool wind blows. Therefore we were quite happy that - arrived in the...

Just a kilometer from the campsite in Andenes is the world's largest research center for auroras. The first rocket experiments were launched in the early 60s, so the focus was...
