A Journey Through History at the Grenzturm Our visit to Wendehausen in Thüringen was more than just a day trip—it was a deep dive into history, especially for our kids.

A Serendipitous Walk by the Sea Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don’t go according to plan. What started as a simple idea—parking near the iconic Palma Cathedral and strolling down to Platja de Palma—turned into an unexpected and scenic journey.

From there, we began an unplanned but unforgettable walk along the coast, making our way towards Arenal. The autumn breeze brought with it the scent of saltwater, and the crashing waves put on a show for us as we made...

We hiked up to the Granattor with the kids, conquering a 450-meter elevation gain. No complaints from the little ones! This hike was a testament to how much we've grown as a family. At the end, we rewarded ourselves with some delicious Kaiserschmarren and a "Jausenbrot" at the Lammersdorfer Hütte. The Granattor, or Garnet Gate, is a popular hiking destination in Millstatt, Austria. It's part of the Millstätter Alpe and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Millstatt. The name "Granattor" comes from the garnet stones that can be found in the area, and there are even small...
