Interesting building next to the railway station of Ljubljana. The higher you live the less neighbours you have. Would you love to live in such a building next to a train station? More…
Industrial penthouse in Maribor?
While waiting for my next train I made my thoughts about this office on top of an industrial plant opposite to Maribor Railway Station. Would you love to work in an office high over a railway station? More…
Traffic lights in Maribor
I was very impressed by these traffic lights which counted down the seconds I have to wait for green light. Later the same numbers told me how much time I’d have to cross the street. I haven’t seen this before but I love this idea. More…
‘Train Art’ in Maribor

Fun traffic sign in Slovenia
On my way to Grad Castle in Slovenia I came across this traffic sign. I wonder what kind of animal is shown on this sign? Perhaps an otter? My first thought was about a beaver because these animals are known for undermining everything. Even traffic signs 🙂 More…

Agricultural museum at Fürthermoar Alm, Austria
After having a snack with a tasty piece of local butter produced with a mould I visited this museum about traditional farmer tools located at an alp named Fürthermoar Alm.
Typical piece of butter in Austrian mountains
Traditionally the butter in the alps is made by a butter mould (Buttermodel). After my trip to the huge reservoirs in the mountains near Kaprun, I had lunch at a nearby farmhouse and came across this fine modeled piece of butter.
Chapel near Wasserfallboden in Kaprun
A chapel near the Wasserfallboden reservoir. A nice piece of architecture in lovely scenery. Inside some inscriptions reminded me that life in such a beautiful scenery is pretty dangerous though.
