Get out and explore the world
I dare to say that Dubrovnik as a travel destination makes every “Game of Thrones” fan’s heart beat faster. I also watched all 8 seasons completely captivated and excited. However, Dubrovnik is so much more than just the filming location of this successful series.
Lake Neusiedl may not necessarily be the best choice for a bathing holiday, but water sports enthusiasts, wine lovers and cyclists will definitely get their money’s worth here. We opted for the latter… but we didn’t miss out on the enjoyment of wine either 😉
Basically, we’re total bumpkins, but when things get too monotonous for us, we get in the car or on the train and plunge into the turbulent city life. Zurich city center is ideal for this, we are right in the middle of it within half an hour.
In recent years we have had enough time to explore every corner of Zurich. In this blog I summarize our personal 10 highlights. The order has no meaning and also says nothing about which place is our favorite place 😉 Well… maybe I’ll tell you our “favourite place” at the end.
Normally we prefer to go south in winter 🌞 However, the pandemic had encouraged us for the last 2 years to move our vacations to Austria & Switzerland. This winter, the little obstacle 2G was added. However, when it comes to holidays, there are no lame excuses for us, we look for solutions! So we activated our gray brain cells and lo and behold… we spent the most beautiful winter holiday so far in the Swiss mountains and all without any restrictions 😉
For us newcomers to Switzerland, Einsiedeln was mainly known to us because of the famous Christmas market. Meanwhile we also know that the Einsiedeln monastery is very popular with pilgrims, there are opportunities for skiing and cross-country skiing, as well as a delicious cheese factory. Apart from that, we discovered a really great panoramic trail from Einsiedeln to the Sihlsee. Reasons enough to pay a visit to this place 😉
The mountains are my great passion 😍 … for me the only place where you can feel the limitless freedom. Usually we are equipped with a backpack and hiking boots, this time we needed snowshoes and sunglasses 😊
We have had the opportunity to explore the holiday region of Saalfelden Leogang a number of times. Winter sports enthusiasts are attracted by 270 kilometers of downhill runs and 70 state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts, and in summer you will find Austria’s largest bike region here. However, a completely different highlight lures us to this area… the Saalachtaler Höhenweg 😍
There is something for everyone on the Tauplitzalm – nature lovers, summer and winter sports enthusiasts as well as for young and old. In summer you can enjoy the fresh alpine air on a hike, in winter wonderful cross-country trails beckon you.
During our last vacation on Lake Maggiore, of course, we also paid a short visit to the idyllic holiday destination Ascona 😍
Crystal-clear water, a fantastic mountain panorama and Italian cuisine… exactly… it’s time for a short trip to Italian-speaking Switzerland, also called Ticino 😍
