Pilgrims & Travel

Today's stage takes us in the first two and a half hours on 4.5 km 680 m up to the Italian Chapel on the Planica (1220 m). Shortly before the ascent, which regularly leads steeply up through the edge of the forest, we discover another fascinating waterfall, the Slap Sopot, at the start of the day. For a short refueling...

On our way today, many water games accompany us again. From Bovec we pass the church into the forests of Pluzna. The first little detour we make down to the idyllic Slap Virje. A 12 meter waterfall with several runs, which falls into a lake shimmering partly green in the sun. An enchanted place that fascinates us so much...

After a short quiet night and an extensive organic breakfast with homemade jam, bread that tastes like it used to in the Eifel, we follow the Soca Trail today. The turquoise blue of the mountain river is so fascinating that we can't get enough of it. It strikes us that there is an awful lot of shading of the...

But it really can't be that far anymore, it goes on. We walk nicely along the Soca, but the path is still steep and stony. Around 7 p.m. we reach the street and also our accommodation again to let us know that we are on our way. Google gives another 50 minutes along the road. We have no idea what's...

Well strengthened after a rich breakfast, we set off steeply uphill on the western flank of the imposing Mittagskogel, which accompanied us from all perspectives last year. In front of the Jepzasattel we enjoy fresh water from the mountain fountain. We are very pleased about this, because shortly before Barbara noticed that her drinking system is...

10.30 p.m. Start with the ICE via Munich Salzburg to Faak am See, where we left the trail last year. "Every year the marmot greets" at 6.10 a.m. in the Munich Hbf. with a coffee in the Alpe Adria cup. Somehow we will miss it next year.... At noon we reach Faak am See. The detour to the lake...

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan awaits us today with the Palace of the Winds, the Pink City with all sorts of Bazaars in the arcades of residential houses. These are arranged in the streets for clothing, silver jewelry, the blue ceramictypical for Jaipur, etc. This is the only thing that happens in an orderly fashion on the bazaar....

Let´ s go to the holy city of Pushkar. On the way is the Eklingji Temple and we are lucky that it is open. It is a pilgrimage site in honor of Shiwa, with a special spiritual atmosphere. One is not allowed to take pictures and so we hold this special place in our memory. In the entrance area, the...

Udaipur, the city of lakes surrounded by mountains belongs to one of the most beautiful in Rajasathan. The magnificent palace complexes on the banks of the lakes invite you to visit extensively. The main palace with its airy light-looking facade differs from the large forts in Agra, Jodpur or Kumbhalgarh. For more than two hours we go on...

The Bera Safari Lodge is a very beautiful place surrounded by unspoilt nature, a little hidden and away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. A pleasant time to rest, to discover the wildcats and to be pampered. Built 5 years ago, the property is located in one of the 5 spacious, elegantly furnished clean two-bathroom lodges, so you...

Today we have a breakfast buffet and well strengthened the day can start in sunshine, but it goes. We head to the Fort.
The festival has already begun and music is in the air. But first we ´ll look around. So past the stage and the first temple Visit. To the surprise, this turns out to be...
