On the rather short coast of Solvenia lies the peninsular of Strunjan. We visit a functioning salina and have a look at the local exhibition about salt production and the diverse fauna and flora of the area. The salt is harvested in summer, so now in winter time it’s a prime bird sanctuary and we ...
In Slovenia! That Slovenia has a little bit of mediterranean coast is not well known. Most think that Italy borders directly to Croatia and they are actually not far off since this stretch of land was indeed once italian. This can easily be seen in the architecture and land cultivation. We’ve concluded that it’s definitely ...
It was Dine’s birthday and we wanted to rush to be at the ocean in time. However we remembered on the drive that our guide book read somthing about great caves on the way in southern Slovenia. So after a quick look at the book we made a detour! And just in time for the ...
After Austria our trip takes us onwards to Slovenia – the country that will take us back to the sea! The Mediterranean Sea and we’re very excited about it! But it would be a pitty to just drive straight through. We take our time to drop by a few amazing natural wonders on the way. ...
One last stop in the Czech Republic, the Lipno reservoir. With a little luck one can spot a moose there! Afterwards we are off to Austria, the land of mountans and tunnels (also Wiener Schnitzel and chocolate cakes 😋). We can’t get enough of the mountain scenery during the drive so we decide for a ...
On we go! After Karlsbad we motor on towards the Sumava national park in the Czech republic, the “other side” of the bavarian woods in Germany. The scenery along the rivers Vydra and Otava is marvoulous and we love it here. However we are here inbetween the peak summer and winter ski tourism, so not ...
We visit the city of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic. Dine still knows this city from her childhood. We find it has become a rather nice place with many tourists that wander from hot spring to hot spring despite the gray october drizzle. The city is known for its many hot mineral springs that ...
We have recieved our “Ferdinand” and now want to head towards the Mediterranean. Our first stop on the way is the Czech Republic. End of october the storm “Herbart” ripped through Europe and many trees fell in it’s wake. This made plenty of roads and paths unpassable. We decided to make Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) our ...
🚑….. And now to lift the mystery! This is our new boat, with wheels and it doesn’t float! Mr. Ferdinand! Ferdinand is a campervan made from an old ambulance who competed in the 2017 Baltic Sea Circle summer rally. We’ve decided that after completing the rally round the Baltic Ocean he is fit for his ...
