Camino de Santiago from Arzúa to A Ruá: A Pilgrim’s Diary (5)

The route on day 5 was again not very exhausting. Only 19 km till A Ruá with a few hills. Lush green fields, eucalyptus forests, passing beautiful old towns and…

    The legend of St Ursula or: Why is this church filled with bones?

    poserontour / August 3, 2024 / 0 Comments

    When you think of Cologne, you immediately think of its cathedral (the “Kölner Dom”). But did you know that not too far from it, there’s a church filled with bones? When we learned about it on our recent trip to Cologne, we just had to see it! But what’s the reason behind it?

    Introducing St Ursula and her 11 (thousand) virgins! So let’s get into it – and see some bones at the end!

    Hohenbaden Castle – a hidden gem in plain sight

    poserontour / May 13, 2024 / 0 Comments

    I’m back in Germany and that can only mean one thing: hiking! But where to go? Thanks to the brilliant app Explo, I found our next destination within 2 minutes: Battertfelsen at Schloss zu Hohenbaden/Battertfelsen at Hohenbaden Castle in the Black Forest. The pictures were amazing, such a huge and well preserved castle surrounded by the most beautiful landscape – a paradise for rock climbers!

    Rai Parveen: Orchha’s Courtesan Who Charmed Emperor Akbar

    poserontour / October 1, 2023 / 1 Comment

    When visiting Orccha, you will come across Rai Parveen Mahal, one of the most visited places there. It was built by Maharaja Indrajit Singh in 1618 for his beloved courtesan Rai Praveen with intricate work in Mughal architecture. While visiting this place, I learned about this folklore with is definitely worth sharing.

    Geroldsauer Wasserfall Hike: Exploring the Black Forest

    poserontour / June 10, 2023 / 1 Comment

    When my best friend saw a hot guy who posted a reel about “Bali in the Black Forest”, he could hardly talk about anything else. So of course we had to explore it the first chance we had! The destination was the “Gay”roldsauer Waterfalls (Geroldsauer Wasserfall to be precise, but the overpowering gay vibes of my friend must’ve influenced my English Google Maps pronunciation 😀 ) close to Baden-Baden and led me once again to my beloved Schwarzwaldhochstraße.

    It turned out to be an unexpected flowery paradise!

    Pravčická Archway and an Odyssey in Hřensko

    poserontour / June 6, 2023 / 1 Comment

    It was day 12 of our honeymoon, and I had already chased the hubster through the Alps, Munich, Würzburg, Leipzig, Dresden, and half of the Sächsische Schweiz (‘Saxon Switzerland’). In short: we were EXHAUSTED. It was our last day in Saxon Switzerland and we thought of taking it easy with a short hike. We googled a bit and found the Prebischtor in Czechia (Pravčická Archway or ‘Pravčická brána‘ in Czech, don’t ask me how to pronounce it though 😉 ), in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, which we could reach by boat. It’s the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and one of the most recognisable natural landmarks in Czechia. Apparently, even some scenes from The Chronicles of Narnia were shot there.

    According to Google, it was an easy, family-friendly hike, and it all sounded pretty great, so what could possibly go wrong?

    …

    A LOT!

    Kloster Allerheiligen: Abbey Ruins, Waterfalls, and a Saga Hike

    poserontour / June 2, 2023 / 0 Comments

    When my mother had an appointment in the beautiful town of Kappelrodeck in the Black Forest, I was the first to volunteer to drive her there. I immediately suggested making a day trip out of it and doing some hiking. I hadn’t done any research and did it in Kappelrodeck itself. Google immediately suggested the “Kloster Allerheiligen” (All Saints) Abbey Ruins and Waterfalls which were only a 20 min drive away.

    Abbey Ruins? Count me in!

    Discovering the Hidden Gem of Delhi: Agrasen Ki Baoli

    If you’d ask me for my favourite places in Delhi, the stepwell Agrasen ki Baoli would be in the top 5. There is hardly anyone who’s visited Delhi who I’ve not taken there. Surprisingly, many Delhiites are either not even aware of it or have simply not visited it. Incomprehensible!

    A Guide to Lajpat Nagar Central Market

    When I moved to India, I was completely clueless about where to get anything. For most of the things, the answer is quite simple: Lajpat Nagar Central Market! It’s one of the markets which I would definitely recommend to any tourists to experience a colourful and buzzing Indian bazaar. But how to find anything in this buzzing maze?

    Now an expert whom even my Indian friends ask for advice now and then, I would like to make your life easier by sharing my wisdom. 🙂

    Elephant Beach Cafe in Anjuna

    poserontour / April 7, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I haven’t been this happy with a place in a long time, so this definitely deserves a review! The Elephant Beach Cafe is clearly one of the best beach restaurants at Anjuna Beach!

    Elephant Beach Cafe is an eco-friendly beach vibe restaurant directly at the beach and a rare jewel in between all those noisy beach shacks with rather basic food which you find on the beaches in Goa.
