France, part four – Cognac, Bordeaux, Périgueux and a snail farm
After waking up to the sounds of the roosters, now seeming even fresher than yesterday, we continued our road trip to Cognac, the city as well as the area. Arriving in the Cognac area, we were amazed by HUGE, really HUGE, vineyards all over. It was extreme. And in fact, Cognac, with more than 76.000 hectares, is the largest white wine area in France. But,…

France, part three – Le Mont-Saint-Michel, Poul’s 97 years old ex-father-in-law and Venise Verte
We left Cave Tronquay late in the morning. After doing some shopping for groceries for the next 2-3 days, and filling up diesel, we arrived at the Mont-Saint-Michel area. As this is a major tourist attraction in this part of France, road signs showing the direction started far far away. When we got closer we suddenly saw the dramatic silhouette from far away. Le Mont-Saint-Michel,…

Hiking to Seealpsee and the Seealpchäs in Alpstein, Switzerland
SEEALPSEE, LAKE ALP LAKE… is located at 1.143 m.a.s.l. in the Alpstein area in Switzerland. Upon arrival, it is clear why pictures of the lake are so popular on all social media. IT IS JUST STUNNING. Surrounded by mountains and so quiet – at least on a workday. During weekends it can be a bit crowded on the hiking paths. So, we will definitely suggest…

Unterstammheim – home of Swiss hop growers
UNTERSTAMMHEIM is a small Swiss village with just about 900 citizens. We visited Unterstammheim to find out a bit about hop growing in Switzerland. We were in the right area for this, hops have been grown here since the 1930s. And if that isn’t enough, wine and tobacco are also grown here. We stayed at Hopfengut, they have recently opened for stays for motorhomes and…

Hiking through the Devil’s Gorge – Teufelsschlucht, in Switzerland
Another short hike, this time through the Teufelschlucht – Gorge of the Devil! If you thought the previous gorge was beautiful, then have a look at this one. We parked in Hägendorf, just 40 minutes from Basel. We can highly recommend starting out early in the morning as we did. During the day, this particular gorge is very popular due to its vicinity to the…

Hiking through Kaltbrunnental, the Cold Well Valley, in Switzerland
A short hike through the Kaltbrunnental – literally the Cold Well Valley, in Switzerland, just 23 kilometers from Basel. It is a very green valley, full of caves and small waterfalls. Many signposts inform about the caves and their types. A cave is not just a cave. The caves can be wet or dusty, so bringing extra clothes might be a good idea. And if,…

The Danish West Coast – with our camper
The Danish West Coast is more than 500 kilometers long. During our last visit, we went to the beach of Vejers, Lyngvig, and Kryle. At all three places, the sandy beaches are extremely wide and at many sections it is possible to drive by car on the beach, even very close to the sea. At Vejers Strand (beach) we stayed at the campsite for two…

Fronalpstock – hiking with the most fabulous lake views
Wow, we just figured out, we never told you about this place, that is a mistake, sorry! Nowadays, the world’s steepest funicular railway is running from the Muota Valley, about 2 kilometers from Schwyz, to Stoos in about 4 minutes. The track has a gradient of 47.7°! Because of the construction, we didn’t really feel it as steep but have a look at some of…
