Next stop on our way down to south Croatia was the wonderful island of Krk. No need to take a ferry, there is a long bridge without any toll to drive over to island Krk. Not so many tourists but beautiful small villages and beautiful hidden beaches. Enjoy.
Porec and Pula in Istrien / Croatia
First stop on our way down to Dubrovnik in Croatia was Istrien with the goal, to discover this area within a week. So we visited Porec, Pula and many different beaches as well as small villages. Istrien is a very famous holiday location as it is not very far away from Germany to drive and has a very beautiful coast side.
Chiemsee in Germany
On our way to Dubrovnik in Croatia we made our first stop close to Austrian border at the lake Chiemsee in Germany. We had a place very close to the Chiemsee with beautiful lake view. We were very lucky with the weather – rain in the night and sun all day long. Enjoy the pics before we went straight to south – our next stop is Istrien in Croatia.
Oberjoch – Back in Germany but still between mountains
Last stop, but still one of the best ones, was the stop in Oberjoch. We’ve been there invited for a stag weekend an we enjoyed the whole night. Outstanding food, very beautiful area around and friendly people.
Brixen – North of Italy and close to Austria
After being at Lago Di Garda we straight drove up to Brixen. Never have been there before, a former colleague coming frome here, he just announced that city. And we weren’t disappointed… a very nice oldtown, outstanding restaurants and a very awesome nightlife… ground-breaking 🙂 Enjoy the pics of our Italy trip 🙂
La Spezia in Liguria / Italy
Next stop on our way to southern Europe was La Spezia with its small coast side villages as Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. You have to drive down to the coast to get an amazing view – and you should be there really early as tourist busses showing up at lunch time.
Elba Island in Italy
A few day later after being in La Spezia, we drove down to Piombino to get the ferry to Elba. As the ferry runs quite often, we were lucky to get an earlier one. Elba is an island, small enough to be able to drive all around and see all the beaches – but also big enough to have many beautiful beaches and villages. We spent there many days, so enjoy the many different places we have been.
Lugano Lake and Morcote in Suisse
As it was hard to travel with an airplane in these times, we moved on to another roadtrip through southern Europe. We began our trip in south Germany and had the first stop in Morcote at the Lugano Lake. That’s only a small distance to drive, but a completely different place. We stayed downtown in the old town, in the middle of old houses, restaurants and close at the sea side. Enjoy the pics.
Achensee in Austria / part 3 Pertisau
When you spend some days through the villages and lakes, you will also find a lot of nice places. Here you will see some pics from Pertisau area and lake view
