Rysy has finally been conquered!
Last year, we failed to reach Poland’s highest peak—Rysy at 2,499 meters above sea level—as warnings about dangerous lingering snow on the Tatra National Park’s website dissuaded us (me and my Son) from taking the risk. However, this year, I cleverly planned our trip to ensure no snow would impede our path. The route was spectacular, taking just 11 hours and 13 minutes from entering to exiting the Tatra National Park at Łysa Polana. The weather was tailor-made; calm and sunny in the morning and cooler clouds arrived later in the day to temper our excitement and save us from getting sunburned. Seriously though, the weather was perfect—cool in the…

Ngorongoro Crater – the only one of its kind in the world!
Why? Because it’s the largest unbroken, uninhabited, and unaltered caldera on Earth. The crater was formed when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed 2-3 million years ago. It has a depth of 610 meters, and the crater floor spans 260 square kilometers. The floor of the crater lies at an elevation of 1,800 meters above sea level, and the Ngorongoro Crater is recognized as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, on behalf of the Tanzanian government, manages this protected area.

Tarangire National Park – Tanzania
During our entire trip to Tanzania, what impressed me the most was our 2-day safari on the Tanzanian mainland. Tarangire National Park is beautifully situated in the eastern part of Tanzania. It may not be as famous as Serengeti or Ngorongoro, but it has a lot to offer. It is primarily known for its numerous gigantic African baobab trees and herds of elephants. The name Tarangire comes from the river that flows through the park, the Tarangire River. The park covers a vast area, approximately 2,600 square kilometers. During our visit, we were fortunate to see a lioness hunting, a leopard – or rather a leopardess, African elephants, African buffalo,…

Gamle Strynefjellsveg – road nr 258
From Geiranger fjord – we planned to drive to Runde Island. We chose a road less frequented, located high in the mountains, open only in Summer – when the snow melts.It was MAGIC!

The hidden life…
As you know, I love nature, and my trips to the forest are my perfect meditation. I recently watched the fantastic movie “The Hidden Life of Trees”. I highly recommend it! A documentary film about the German forester – Peter Wohlleben – the author of the book of the same title.Watch it – you will see that the tree are social, sentient beings and we have a perfect – green world! I can’t spoiler here, but I think that for lovers of nature, the movie are worth watching.5 stars out of 5 in my opinion 🙂
