Welcome to Elfenland - Expedition Tour Arctic Circle 2024
When the first pictures of this long-planned, adversity-ridden and ultimately magical tour appeared in the LWA Messenger, Cora and I probably thought the same thing: "Wow, they were traveling in elf-land". I myself have just been through...
Albania 2024 - „Coming back to Albania?“

Soča 2023 - Once different, beautiful as always

Alps 2023 - Sometimes everything is just right!
As is so often the case, these wonderful weeks on the Alpine rivers in June began with small things. When I, Sebastian, arrive at the campsite in the foothills of the Alps the night before the first day of the course and walk down the small path...
