One of the oldest human dreams is to fly like the birds. In the Greek mythology, Icarus and his father Daedalus tried to escape from their exile on the island of Crete by building themselves wings made out of feathers and wax.... but Icarus was so fascinated to feel like a bird that he came to close to the sun, the wax melted and he felt down in the sea....
Today, some crazy human beings are still trying to fly: the paragliders

One of the warmest lakes in Austria, so beautiful it was used as a location for The Sound of Music, situated near Salzburg, Mondsee is perfection!

We all like to shoot like crazy, with our cameras around our neck and in our bags: shoot, shoot, shoot and don't think! But did you ever try to shoot with a gun, and not with a camera?? I always asked myself why we're using the same verb "to shoot" for photography and when using guns or weapons.... Well, once I changed the weapon and practiced some "shooting sport" with a rifle, but didn't forget my camera to show you how it was! :)

Salzburg is a beautiful city in Austria most famous for the Sound of Music and for Mozart, which they are very proud of. You can buy Mozart coffee, perfume, chocolate, liqueur - the list is endless. And when you take a break from singing all of the songs from The Sound of Music you can experience the beautiful gardens, scenic bike rides, great shopping, hill walks, and of course, the water palace built by the crazy archbishop!

Salzburg is a famous Austrian city for several reasons. First and foremost, it is the birthplace of the great composer W.A. Mozart; secondly, it is where the movie musical The Sound of Music is set in. A less well-known reason is that each year the famous Salzburg Festival takes place here.

I spent a day in the Bavarian forest, near of Straubing and we went to the "Büchelstein", a mountain where the hang gliders like to jump and fly like birds. The place is very impressive because of the huge view you can have all over the Bavarian landscape.

Once a good friend of mine told me about an old tunnel somewhere in the mountains near the place I live. It is some kind of secret which everybody knows but nobody could tell where exactly you can find this tunnel. But Ronald found out where the entrance is and where the tunnel leads you to – he’s an adventurer with heart and sole.
