We spent our last night in Romania south of Botoșani, in front of the new Zosin monastery. In the evening we could hear the monks singing, in the morning we got an incredible concert of their bells – every European cathedral should be jealous. The next day we were on our way to the border …
We had reached the Bukovina, east of the Carpathians. It was once an administrative division of the Habsburg Monarchy. For us as Austrians, it is fascinating, how far the Austrian monarchy extended. Very special are the churches of this region, not only for their shape, but especially for their painted exterior. The church of Saint George at the …
We were on the way from the Maramureș region, crossing the Carpathian mountains to the Bukovina in the north-east of Romania. We found good spring water and could buy boletus, which we immediately turned into a delicious lunch. Hay is often still cut with a scythe here and pilled around a pole. And of course …
Coming from Austria and northern Hungary, we had finally reached Romania and the Maramureș, a geographic region in the northeastern Carpathians. It is famous for its well-preserved wooden villages and churches, its traditional lifestyle, and the local colourful dresses still in use. We came past the monastery Huta, which was built in 2006. We were …
This year the Globetrotter Rodeo took place again, and we didn’t want to miss it! Especially as it took place at the quarry of Edis friend Max in his hometown Limberg in Lower Austria. Another reason was, that our son Monty and his friends were there too, taking their historic Unimog from 1963 into all …
We were invited by an Austrian TV programme called “Guten Morgen Österreich” (Good Morning Austria) with about 300 000 viewers to talk about living and travelling in our camper for 3 years now. We could spend the night already at the TV station in Vienna and very early in the morning we met the team …

As we always enjoy meeting good friends, we were very much looking forward to this event. We met some “petrol heads”, which Edi knows since his early school days! Every year they organise a 24-hour race event, shadowing the “24 Hours of Le Mans” taking place the same weekend, but on gravel and using vintage …
Monforte D’Alba is a lovely little town in the hills of the Barolo wine region. Food and wine are the reason many people come here, especially during the truffle season. We wanted to explore the region on a hike, which started at the main square and led us through woods and vineyards. Besides of the …
With Dogliani we had reached the wine area of Piemonte, an area we had visited many times to eat, drink and buy wine. As it was our wedding anniversary, we looked for a nice restaurant, something which is easy to find in this region. A very famous son of this town is Michele Ferrero, born …
We thought this time we would be able to explore the Roya Valley up to the Col de Tende pass and use this route to go to Cuneo in Italy. We had already intended to come here in April 2018, but back then, snow had made it impossible. We didn’t know that in October 2020 …
