Montserrat is a well-known place most visitors to Barcelona, about 40 km south, will probably head to.

We headed to Montserrat … Read more “Parc Natural de la Muntanya de Montserrat in Catalonia, Spain”

Several hiking trails lead to the highest peak in Germany – Zugspitze 2,962 m. But not one of them would be covered by the average tourist in one day, i.e. without an overnight stay on the way or at the top, or without the help of a cable car on the way down. In addition, most of the routes are
