Stopover @ Völkermarkt
Already in Villach, we had walked along the river Drau, and we had spent the night at the shore of its dam lake near Völkermarkt. The next day the sun was shining and we explored another lovely Carinthian town. Our good camper has never failed us. He took us over very bad roads, up and …
Finally back in Austria
After 6 month of travelling through Romania, Moldova, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Italy, we finally reached native soil again. It was cold, everything was much more expensive, and the Covid regulations were just crazy, but we were home. We stopped at Villach, the first town after the border, where we did some sightseeing but also …
OTA Globetrotter Rodeo @ Limberg / Austria
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.

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 …
Going off the road
We are now more than 1000 days on the road and always try our best to find spectacular spots. After traveling through 34 countries and driving 100 000 kilometres, we know, that only about 3 percent are gravel road and a tiny part of it are really challenging off road passages. As we are driving …
New brakes after 100 000 ……
During our last engine maintenance in December 2020 the status of the brakes was checked. As there was no alarm from the sensors, I decided to wait for another thousand kilometres to check again. Finally, I arranged an appointment at “Trac-Mog.at“, a specialist on all Mercedes trucks and UNIMOG vehicles located in Hochneukirchen, a little …
