A dreary day in Bochum what’s one to do when it’s raining non-stop? We quickly made up our minds: let’s head to the Bochum Mining Museum, where you spend most of your time underground.

The museum reopened in 1946, initially with a small exhibition. During the 1950s, it was rebuilt and expanded; by 1960, the tunnels of the demonstration mine had been developed to a total length of 2,510 meters.

Our transfer to Antalya Airport and the return flight to Berlin had started early in the morning, so our arrival time in Berlin reflected that schedule, despite the time zone difference.

Alanya – After a long absence, some errands brought us back to Alanya, also giving us the chance to swim in the sea.

Caravan Salon - Caravaning is more than just a holiday it is a lifestyle that embodies freedom, independence, and the desire to discover new places. Across the 15 exhibition halls and the outdoor area, people gather to share their passion for mobile travel and experience the full diversity of the caravaning world.

Classic Vehicle - Here is some more information and photos from the enthusiasts at the "Oldtimer-Freunde Naumburg" (Naumburg Classic Vehicle Friends) regarding their gathering at the Vogelwiese:

Classic Cars in Naumburg– Originally, our only plan was to attend the Naumburg Street Artists' Festival; however, we soon noticed the numerous classic cars moving through the traffic on the city streets.

Finnelauf—A major sporting event in the small communities of Billroda and Tauhardt, which once again succeeded in attracting numerous participants and an even larger number of spectators—to the 46th Finnelauf hosted by SG Finne Billroda.

Lazise - The unsuccessful search for an open campsite on Lake Garda led us to the medieval town of Lazise, ​​where we, along with other campers, found accommodation in the public parking lot opposite the city gate on the Via Gardesana.

Sirmione - Despite the grey skies, we set off toward Sirmione, always following the coastal road of Lake Garda. Sirmione, the small town with the famous Scaliger Castle and a population of about 8,000, is partly located on a very narrow peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Garda.

Maroneia - We left the Alexandroupolis campsite that morning and headed for Thessaloniki. Since the ruined city of Maroneia was on the way, we wanted to at least make a short stop there to get a first impression. We will explore the area in detail during our return trip in December.

Olympos - After our nighttime hike to the Chimera fires (continuously using our headlamps), we strolled through the ancient ruins the next morning after a hearty breakfast to the beach at Olympos and Cirali, which was magnificently calm and sunny.

Güver - Once again, Author Wolfgang Dorn, travel guide to Central Anatolia and today guide to Güver Canyon travelled with a small group, an opportunity that we wanted to use to meet him.

Almost secretly, quietly and quietly, numerous car and motorcycle products from the former GDR have matured into serious classics that are becoming increasingly popular with classic car fans.

A strikingly unconventional or even strange idea that we came across during the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. At first, we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this Lambo on the exhibition stand. Of course it's an eye-catcher! But as with many manufacturers, it's all about going big and not going home!

Marseille - After our arrival at Rue de Ruffi in Marseille, there was still time for an initial exploration walk from our accommodation along the Quai du Maroc towards the city center, a path of around 4 kilometers that took us directly along the impressive harbour facilities.

As quickly as it came, it's over again, the Easter festival of 2024. And like almost everywhere, there are plenty of decorated Easter fountains, one or the other bunny schools and of course hearty Easter fires.

Once again it was an experience to visit the Leipzig Book Fair, which this year had the motto “Who’s still reading?” was standing. And anyone who was just a little interested in the age structure of the visitors in the full exhibition halls could see that young people in particular read books and do so with great enthusiasm.

The historic old town of Dresden, if one can still speak of “old town” in the traditional sense after the bombing nights of February 13th and 14th, 1945, is located on the left side of the Elbe and extends from the Elbe on the Terrassenufer in the north to the town hall in the South.

The walk through the CMT camping trade fair in Stuttgart once again showed how strongly customer wishes can have an impact when it comes to specific interests in their implementation. Why this almost always works in the camping and leisure industry is sometimes just a mystery.
