Discover UNESCO: Carolingian Westwork and Civitas Corvey It was almost impossible to image that the former monastery of Corvey in its peaceful rural setting once used to be a hard fought over frontier. Located in a bend of the river Weser, Charles the Great initiated the establishment of a small basilica during the quest to […]
Discover UNESCO Mud of Germany, Netherlands and Denmark There are really obvious World Heritage Sites and there are more subtle ones. The UNESCO inscribed Wadden Sea definitely belongs to the latter of the two categories. Being nothing but a seemingly endless plain of continuous mud where one would expect to find the waters of the […]
Berlin is famous for its wall. Well, Berlin is famous for the fact that it once had a wall that not only divided the city into east and west, but also entirely enclosed it. While Berlin was forced to exist as an island in the middle of the communist sea, the wall itself became a […]
Berlin has changed a lot in recent years. In fact, Berlin might actually have been the fastest changing city in the world during the last two decades. What used to be a really cool, creative place during the 90s had by now become a much too shiny and polished version of its former self. It […]
Discover UNESCO: Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin Walking the extensive gardens of Sanssouci in Potsdam on a nice, sunny day simply is one of the best things to do when visiting Berlin. What used to be a small garrison town outside of Berlin, changed drastically when Frederick the Great decided to establish his […]
Everybody who has been to New York in recent years has been to the High Line, which has clearly become one of the main tourist attractions. What used to be simply an abandoned elevated train line with trees and weeds growing on it in the middle of the Meatpacking District, was renovated in different stages […]
Discover a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Germany Travelling to Berlin without visiting the Museum Island almost seems impossible. Located right in the center of modern-day Berlin, this island within the river Spree came a long way from being a sister city called Cölln to the center of the arts in the early 19th century. […]
Travel Day 804 – Berlin to Hamburg to Detmold, GERMANY After spending over a week in Berlin, which despite all its greyness still was my favorite German city, it was about time again to move on. This time Hamburg was the goal and to see some more friends there… One thing that became my daily […]
Travel Day 803 – Detmold to Berlin, GERMANY After spending a couple of weeks in the same place, it felt nice to have an Active Travel Day and to be finally moving again. This time my destination was my former home and favorite city Berlin, the capital of Greymany… This name was actually the perfect […]
Travel Day 802 – Detmold, GERMANY It was my second week in Germany after finishing my world trip and while I was slowly accustomed to everything, all of a sudden I had to deal with some of the aftermath that a long trip can bring with it… One thing that caused some trouble to me […]
Travel Day 801 – Detmold, GERMANY After more than two years of travelling it was a bit strange to be at home with parents, but on the other hand my mind didn’t really register what was going on anyway and so I felt like I was still travelling for many days to come… While I […]
Travel Day 800 – Arambol to Detmold, GERMANY It almost seemed a bit like a joke, but I ended my two years of travelling exactly on day 800. Only instead of Jules Verne’s 80 days, I managed to travel Around the World in 800 Days… : ) Anyway, my day started really early with 2am […]
