It has been a wonderful year. Full of impressions,thoughts, time for myself, family, friends, my partner. Time to relax and time to reflect. Time to learn, time to just be and try out new things. Time to focus on things that are close to my heart. Living and breathing, struggling and feeling centered. A true…
Coming closer to the end of my sabbatical, I decided to spend a week in my favourite place to really go down to basics: Benediktushof Holzkirchen. The site used to be a Benedictine monastery from the 8th century. The charm of that time is still preserved: a long-standing place of power and silence, an intense…
Since a few years, I have been living in northern Odenwald, a nice and calm area, but with the disadvantage that it takes almost an hor to commute to the office in Ingelheim. Being home with the luxory of having time and wonderful weather, I was curios how it is to walk that distance which…
Taking some time, we slowly went down from Stockholm along the coast line of the baltic sea, going back to Germany. Traveling for two enitre weeks created the opportunity to go slowly, step by step. How much different from the usual holidays trips where you travel for many hours on a highway or even taking…
The way down to the south takes us to Stockholm. Of course we did what tourists would do in a city. Some shopping, exploring the old city parts, visiting museums, take a boat tour, breathing and in-taking how people live and love in this city. Being so long in wilderness on a calm and simple…
Coming down from Lapland, we struggled. Too much rain, not warm enough to sit outside, and incredibly aggressive clouds of moskitos. Walking outside you felt like a welcome food for a hungry swarm of biting insects. Standing still for just a few seconds, they would sit down all over the clothes (and of course skin,…
Our first night at the baltic Sea was in Töre. This is the most north place of the Baltic Seay, and there is a famous buoy, which marks this location. Our first night at the Baltic Sea was in Töre. This is the most north place of the Baltic Sea, and there is a famous…
A few hundret kilometers further up north, we corssed finally the polar circle – entering the area where there is no sunset on the days of the mid summer (i.e. , now). We decided to take a lot of the smaller (dust) roads, wehre asmetimes, you don’t meet another car for hours. We had some…
…is the name of a road in northern Sweden which passes through wild and natural landscapes. Up here, in mid June, there is daylight 24 hours a day. Beautiful and peaceful landscapes, waterfalls, and many lakes and rivers. Also, not a lot of people, in particular at this early time in year. In it’s highest…
Traveling up to the north slowly, we are still not planning a lot, just seeing what comes across. On our way, we find beautiful rural places, outside of everything. The nights are getting shorter, the weather is getting better. In fact, we have days of 25C lasting until late evenings. Very enoyable after the long…
