martin - kosice - bratislava, SK

a short trip to slovakia ~ 2016 km in 5 days. my plan for next year? 2017 km 😄🚙🍀

the main reason for my visit? easy:

a mother & son event 💗

the city of martin:

the view at krivan, the famous hill in mala fatra massif

lake liptovska mara:

the high tatras is in the clouds, what a pity

kosice / kassa / kassau / cassovia:

 the last one is ours :-)

 recycling in slovakia: beer, wine, spirits😃

 kosice, coat of arms

break at motorest halier + the lake tomasovce near lucenec:

this small fish pond was shallow and thus really warm ... next time i will probably try the a little bit bigger nearby water reservoir divin

bratislava:

bratislava castle ~ bratislavsky hrad

lake schliersee + rohnberg 1257m

addendum november 10th, 2025

young age and old age have something in common: we cant hike up the highest mountains (anymore), can we? anyway, a nice day spent with my 3 years old grandson and son-in-law in the bavarian alps. of course, the focus today was on our grandson's dream wish gondola and toboggand ride down the hill 🌋🌊🌞

town hall in schliersee. no, it is not an ukrainian flag, 

this are the colors of the schliersee village / town, too

the nice town hall's cellar even if it is not a real cellar if you asked me. 

there are still windows with a day light coming in, arent there? 

its vaults (= gewölbe) are nice anyway ...

two of the churches in schliersee

gondola 😍💕

what a nice day in the bavarian apls with my eldest daughter today: our agenda: schliersee village - schliersbergalm 1061m - rohnberg 1257m (schliersberg 1265m is the peak, rohnberg the name of the massif) - lake schliersee (camping)

well, the lake schliersee is the next dot on my bavarian lakes tour ~ the water was soooo cold today :-)

grainau, waxenstein => badersee & eibsee

what a nice 2-days team workshop in grainau at the lake badersee. well, grainau is not only the entry point to germany's highest peak zugspitze. it is also a really nice sleepy village below the waxenstein peak (2277 metres high) and a great starting point for hiking tours to badersee, rosensee, eibsee, höllentalklamm, zugspitze, waxenstein, garmisch-partenkirchen, ... :-)

enjoy few pictures
