Countless photos. Each with a story.
2 Min. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, an ice stream that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a via ferrata that ends in a cave, delicious hut cuisine – the gorges, valleys and mountains of the Swiss canton of Valais offer plenty of history, delicacies and awe-inspiring sights.
2 Min. Blakiston’s fish owls, majestic sea eagles or codfish seeds in hot broth – Hokkaido offers something truly extraordinary. I was also amazed by the caffeinated noodles and the long-tailed tits that bring good luck. Particularly fascinated me the philosophy of the indigenous Ainu people.
2 Min. A capital framed by lush green jungle, with countless delicious restaurants, lush nature parks and colourful temples. Gigantic gorges with rushing rivers and paths only for those with a head for heights. Dark, silent forests with ancient giant trees. Beautiful lakes, mountain meadows and tea fields interspersed with seas of clouds. Welcome to Taiwan!
2 Min. The impressive basalt columns of Staffa Island inspired painters, composers and writers to create masterpieces. On Lismore you will find Duns, Brochs and shepherds, but no police. At Buchanan Castle, nature proves that everything is ephemeral, even the most magnificent buildings.
2 Min. In Valparaiso, we immerse ourselves in a vibrant culture that immediately captivates us. We then discover true natural beauty and breathtaking landscapes in Araucania. A truly contrasting journey.
2 Min. No other country has smuggled itself into my soul more persistently than Burma. I wandered through towns, caves, fields and monasteries, hiked to remote hill tribes and documented novice ceremonies, weddings and cremations.
The greatest discoveries were the people of Burma, their touching tolerance and warm-heartedness. With TIMELESS BURMA, I want to make the photographs appear timeless as well as these timeless values. It is my final declaration of love to the country and its people.
2 Min. Attention: Extreme! Under-ice-diving-in-Badebüx. Plus pictures of ice climbing and ice breaking from wintry Finland.
2 Min. Olympic National Park in Washington, USA, impresses with its diverse landscape, from wild beaches to lush rainforests and majestic mountain peaks. A natural paradise for adventurers and nature lovers.
2 Min. Breathtaking desert landscapes, impressive mountain ranges, exuberant hospitality and delicious food. Oman offers it all. I ventured deep into the ‘interior’ – the 7th Hole cave on the Selmah Plateau is quite something.
2 Min. Scientists called Venezuela’s Salto Angel waterfall the eighth wonder of the world. The dreamlike, yet mystical table mountains inspired James Cameron for his film Avatar. And I finally fulfilled my long-cherished No. 1 travel dream on my fourth attempt: a trip to what I consider the most spectacular landscape in the world.
2 Min. Fantastic hikes through deep valleys, long lava tunnels and high volcanoes – that is La Réunion. While roaming the island, I was amazed – also at the varied bird life, crooked trees, oddball volcanologists and the scent of what is probably the best vanilla in the world.
2 Min. Iceland – island of extremes. On the largest volcanic island in the world, we are fascinated by the eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. And we learn to ice bathe, for minutes! Then a lagoon bath, glacier tour and ice cave visit – an unforgettable short adventure!
