Eurotrip 2013

Eurotrip 2013 - Version B. If the video on top doesn't play then it's because youtube has blocked it in your country because of some copyrighted songs in the video. This Version B has some different music (video is exactly the same) and should play in all countries.

Eurotrip 2013 - Version C. If even Version B doesn't play then try this one. This Version C again just has some different music with video exactly the same and hopefully plays in all countries.

That was another great campsite, all to myself!

Near Rybáre

Sliač, still better than New Zealand houses…

The truly beautiful city of Banská Štiavnica

Possibly the pest pizza I have ever had




Starý zámok, the old castle





The usual torture chamber








Kalvária Banská Štiavnica





Sunset near Skýcov

I drove from Pribylina to Lukavica today, along the route I saw these colourful houses again that seem to be typical for Poland and Slovakia

This is in the little village of Liptovské Matiašovce

The smelting plant Františkova huta



The Orava Castle












Some beautiful music






Enjoying a beautiful night sky

Today another hike, a really beautiful one, to the summit of Klin (Slovakian name) or Starorobociański Wierch (Polish name)






Much of the hike is right on the border between Slovakia and Poland, as shown by these little markers. P = Polish side

And, duh, S on the Slovakian side



Yes, I had a sunburn from lying on the airbed too long yesterday

Today I went to Demänovská jaskyňa slobody, one of the most beautiful caves I have ever seen. On par with Ljubljana I’d say

After yesterday’s hike I deserved a relaxing day so I went to this little local lake

And got myself an airbed

The manufacturer of the airbed either doesn’t like German children or just has a high opinion of them (English warning: “Not for children under 3 years”, German warning [translated]: “Suitable for children under 3”)

Liptovský Hrádok

For a change I stayed at a real campsite last night in Sromowce Wyzne

Today I had a look around Nowy Sacz and on the way back I came through Stará Lubovna where they have this beautiful castle

By sheer coincidence I happened to come here on a day that they had a special celebration of some kind with the castle open at night and people performing. Choice!






















The birds should be freed and the performances were a bit amateuristic but all in all I enjoyed it a lot

Today I drove from Slovakia back to Poland to do some more sightseeing. I didn’t take many pictures today except for these ones of one of the best freedom camping spots I’ve ever found
