unesco heritage sibenik + dragon's eye, HR

what was our next stop after zagreb on our road to the south? the dalmatian city of sibenik (sebenico, sibinium, sibenning) with the unesco heritage cathedral of st. jacob (katedrala sv. jakova) and a complex of 4 venetian unesco heritage fortresses. enjoy few pictures 😄

good-bye, sibenik

the 15m deep salt water lake dragon's eye (drachenauge, zmajevo oko) is just about 100m away from the sea ~ rogoznica, dalmatia

hotel marina frapa resort in rogoznica was the best hotel at our 4 trips to croatia this year.

lutherstadt wittenberg

what a nice visit to the cranach and martin luther city of wittenberg (lutherstadt wittenberg) in the german federal republic of sachsen-anhalt on our way back from christmas holidays (do you remember our stops in poland + stettin + castle kropstädt?)

1517 - 2017 = 500 years of reformation (in europe)? maybe, but in every case wait with your visit of wittenberg till 2017. why?  the chance that the reconstruction of the 3 most interesting cultural sites will be finished (luther's city curch, castle (church), luther's house)

 big brother, the police and the moon are watching you ... at our recent trip to‪ #wittenberg‬ ~ only the mental strength of my wife could prevent the camera flash to recognise her smile emoticon
