Let me tell you a true little Christmas story...
It was on my snowshoe tour. I was slowly heading for the parking lot, when I heard voices and some noise in the woods on the mountain near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Suddenly I saw them: a man and a woman

Testing my new snowshoes
I have new gear and I urgently needed to test it. So I took one day off and went to the famous Olympic town Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria. This is the new gear 😍: snowshoes from Maine in the USA.

Munich is a paradise for dogs
Munich is a dog's paradise. They are welcome almost everywhere: restaurants, shopping malls, parks. And public transport is even for free for dogs! We love to live in Munich. Most often we don't even need

Bavarian Christmas tradition: A hand-made nativity scene
This is one of the most popular Bavarian holiday traditions: the Christmas nativity scene. A lot of families put up a crib every year. Very often they are self-made, bequeathed and grow larger in time.

Visiting the frontline of a nuclear conflict
This is the frontline to Kim Jong-un. A South Korean guard is the first stronghold. I visited the demilitarized zone some time ago. The guards look a bit like in an operetta. They wear dark sunglasses

Trip to a country that doesn't exist
What is it like to live in a country that doesn't exist? The about 400,000 people in Transnistria do so and they do quite well. Transnistria is a small piece of land on the eastern bank of the river Dniester.

Arctic Adventure in the Alps
I was in the mood for an arctic adventure. And what's the best way to do so in Central Europe? Climbing mount Daniel in Austria at 2340 meters. It was chillingly cold, way below zero Celsius. But climbing
