Best of Wallis (2/2): Aletsch Glacier

Another highlight visiting Wallis/Valais is the mighty glacier called Aletschgletscher.

I got to the small village of Fiesch and by cable car up to Eggishorn, from where the view is superb.

Germany – on my way back home

I took some time to visit dear friends on my way back. One of them invited me to a pretty special place to camp on a private, very idyllic pond, where we had a barbeque and nice chat.

Every journey comes to an end, but the good memories stays.

Ribe, the oldest town in Danmark

On my way south, i got a hint to visit Ribe, the oldest town in Danmark. So i took a detour to stroll trough this historical place with medieval charm.

Some Impressions:

Danmark – Impressions From Copenhagen

No comments needed, just impressions from my stay in beautiful, bustling and interesting Copenhagen:

Photos taken at:

Sweden – The Red Houses Of Eksjö

Just another brief visit of a rather touristic but very pretty town in Sweden: Eksjö.

It’s famous for the typically red houses and the flair of the old days. But see for yourself…

Sweden – Stockholm

In Stockholm i bumped into the Pride Parade unexpectedly. I spent long time to watch them passing by and photographing. Watch the photos from that event, which i posted earlier:

The Pride Parade in Stockholm

But of course i visited also the world famous Vasa Museum and the old town of Stockholm.

Norway – Via Vindhellavegen To Borgund

It was on a random chat with another tourist, when i heard about that wooden Borgund Stave Church. Let’s go there i thought, followed the rainbow and found my way via the fantastic Vindahellvegen to that awesome wooden church.

Norway – Stroll trough Bergen

It’s maybe one of the most famous town in Norway: Bergen.

A pretty busy place, where many cruise ships stops. Famous not only for the fish market, but also for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen. I extend my stroll bit around town, just to get some more impressions before i left it again.

Norway – Geiranger Fjord

Don’t miss the beauty of it, they said. The Geiranger Fjord is another highlight of every Norway trip and also listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. But this means lots of visitors to expect. Luckily there the most tourists were still asleep when i arrived the fjord early morning.

The sky was scattered with clouds and the morning mist just lifted slowly, hovering over the mirror-smooth water of the fjord. The scenery was spectacular in this tranquil hours of the early morning.

Just when the first tourists arrived and started to do their stupid things, like ignoring safety fences for silly selfies or shouting funny words to hear an echo, i was on my way for more quite spot for another coffee.

Can anyone explain me:

Why do even elderly people risk their life for a silly photo?
