Monastery de la Murta 🇪🇸 - Right at the End of the Valley

We want a bit more solitude again, so we drive up a valley that gets narrower with every kilometre. At the end Mammothon stands almost alone - and Saskia’s circular route turns out to be considerably more sporting than expected…

At the end of the valley you can only continue on foot

Spain 🇪🇸 - from the Truck Wash into the Semi-Desert

Mammothon gets a shower first, then we drive straight through a storm into the Monegros - and discover, on opening the roof hatch, that the wind up there has been busy…

Across Southern France 🇫🇷 - from Brenne to Carcassonne

We swap the bustle of Paris for a great deal of quiet, get warned by a local about a “narrow” road, relocate our pitch by WhatsApp, cross the highest bridge in Europe - and end up in a town we previously only knew as a board game…

Paris 🇫🇷 - the City of Love

We take our time, eat surprisingly well along the way, then park 17 tonnes on an island in the middle of Paris, walk all the classics - and in between I take the Eurostar to Amsterdam for work…

Allgäu 🇩🇪 - Family, Parachutes and the First Frost

We arrive in the Allgäu with plenty of extra kilometres on the clock, watch our daughter jump out of a plane, build a bigger home for a snake, finally meet friends of over 15 years in person - and then one morning everything is white…

Maginot Line 🇫🇷 and Black Forest

We drive through France, stop at the flooding system of the Maginot Line, visit a fortress, squeeze through a narrow road in the Black Forest, visit Sigmaringen, and Sven presses the wrong button…

Amsterdam, De Biesbosch and New Tires

After all the beautiful, peaceful nature, it’s time for a contrast — off to the big city of Amsterdam.

Across Germany 🇩🇪

After completing all our scheduled appointments in Austria (sounds way too much like work – but in between we really enjoyed the mountains), our next destination is the Netherlands. Looking at the map, this means we get to cross all of Germany.

Hello Austria 🇦🇹

Our trip through Austria had several stages – from the Bergdoktor in Ellmau, along the Hochalpenstraße to the Großglockner, and finally to Krug in Schladming at the Dachstein.

Almost at the top – the summit has finally come out of the clouds.
