On the eve of a continental war, the young nation of Czechoslovakia braced itself against a rising threat. As a result, a massive line of concrete bunkers sprang up along its borders, and this included the crucial frontier near Bratislava. Bunker BS-6, also known by its nickname “Vrba” (The Willow), was one of 15 such…
It’s time to look back at February, a month of books and gratefulness. One of my goals for 2017 is to read 52 books. Another thing that happened in February is that I got hooked on bullet journaling. As someone who loves lists and journals, I think that the bujo system is pure genius. I…
When walking around in Bratislava you will find several statues that all look slightly different from each other. They are not the normal famous or historical people who usually decorate the streets and squares of a town or city. No, these statues are more about a showing a function and they have a tendency to…
Last weekend we visited one of the most famous spas in Stockholm – Yasuragi. Everybody here knows the place and it indeed feels like most people have been there. In fact, my colleagues had given us a gift card there as a wedding gift and it was now time to use it. What better time to…
Bratislava – the capital of Slovakia – certainly has a lot to offer to its visitors. One of the less famous attractions is the string of bunkers that run along the border between Slovakia and Austria. One of these bunkers is the Bunker BS-9. The border between Slovakia and Austrian runs just a few kilometers…
I really enjoyed visiting Slovakia this time. It was a bit sad that Susann wasn’t able to join, but spending time with my brother from time to time is nice too. One of the highlights of the trip was the chance to see so many new places that I had not visited while living in…
After renting the car on Friday we had first been driving into the fog and then on Saturday, we had been in search for the sunshine. Sunday was once more a bit gray, this time due to clouds covering the sky. It was also the last day of our road trip in Slovakia. A road…
I arrived in Bratislava on Thursday and on Friday morning my brother, two of his friends and I rented a car for a weekend road trip. Friday we spent driving into the fog. However, on Saturday we went to search for some sunshine in Slovakia. Our day began in Zvolen, where we stayed the two…
While Jesper and his camera have been on an adventure in Slovakia, I have enjoyed a relaxing weekend in Mariehamn. It’s been great with delicious food, old friends, and a lot of naps. This town is actually quite small. That gives it both some advantages and disadvantages. Living in a (fairly) big city, I can…
After a long walk Thursday along the Slovak-Austrian border, we headed out on new adventures on Friday morning. The fog was still heavy in Bratislava when my brother and I left his apartment to head to the airport in Bratislava. At the airport, our plan was to rent a car for the weekend. Two friends…
It’s again time for new adventures. This morning I left Susann at home and headed to the airport. The destination? To visit my brother in Bratislava for the weekend. A short flight later I landed at the airport in Vienna, ran out to catch the bus to Bratislava and eventually I got off at the…
A stone circle is all some people need to consider a place interesting. Smålandsstenar is one of those places where five stone circles make up the biggest attraction in town. With a population of around 4.500 inhabitants the small locality is usually forgotten deep in the forests of Småland in southern Sweden – or is it? Even…
