The Different Phases of Our Trip
PHASE 1 (August - November 2019)
We started our journey in AUSTRIA and then continued to SLOVENIA's Triglav National Park, before we explored the coast line and mountains of CROATIA, MONTENEGRO and ALBANIA. We had not planned to spend much time in GREECE, but ended up doing so for the whole of October: From Vikos canyon to Mount Olympos down to Delphi and Leonidio on the Peloponnes. From Igoumenitsa, we crossed over to ITALY by ferry and traveled back towards Switzerland in order to celebrate X-mas.
PHASE 2 (January - February 2020)
We spent two months skiing in AUSTRIA (1.5 months of which on the Camping of the Zugspitz Resort in Ehrwald), northern ITALY and the FRENCH ALPS. A shut-down in electricity forced us to drive back to Bern - just in time for the Corona lock-down.
March - Mai 2020: Corona lock-down in Bern
PHASE 3 (June - August 2020)
Instead of ICELAND, as originally planned, we decided to visit Scandinavia for the third phase of our trip. First, we stopped at Marian's family in northern GERMANY for some weeks. From there, we took the ferry to SWEDEN's Trelleborg. Now, we are touring through NORWAY, where we have finally reached our longtime goal, the Lofoten. From there, it will go southward again to destinations yet unknown to us. We will presumably end our one-year-journey in Europe by the end of August.

The StartWe started our journey on July 30th in Bern, Switzerland's capital. We had been living in the middle apartment in this lovely house for twelve years, in one of the most beautiful spots of the city. In summer, we loved to swim in the clear green waters of the river Aare which flows by.
It seemed like a big deal first to say goodbye to this place for good. Well yes, it was emotional, it was a lot of work sorting out things - and at the same time it was liberating and good. |
