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…
How can a small locality in the Swedish countryside cause nightmares for a lot of Swedish men? Our apologies for the stereotypes, but this is a place that most Swedes have heard about. Even though it has a meager population of around 800 people. So what is causing all the fuzz about Ullared? And what…
One of the top reasons we enjoyed living in Bratislava was the possibilities it offered for traveling. With several international borders close by and good connections with most of Central Europe, it is hard not to take advantage of the opportunities. We did not always feel a need to travel far. Some interesting destinations might…
While exploring Bratislava‘s charming Old Town, you might just meet one of the city’s most beloved and quirky residents. His name is Čumil. This Slovak word actually means “the watcher,” and you will quickly see why. You’ll find this bronze man peeking his head from underneath a manhole cover. He has a wide, cheeky grin…
Eventually, everything comes to an end and so did our stay in the Slovak capital Bratislava. Our last day at work was March 31. We had decided that we wanted to go for one more trip before leaving Slovakia for the cold north. In the evening of that very same day, a bus would take…
