16·09 / 3 minEggs on the eye, bacon sizzling and coffee on the stove before the fog lifts off the river — but only if the gear is packed in the right order.
16·09 / 3 minNine towers on a rock, a ship through the narrowest throat of the Danube and a pot of stew that boils for two hours — a weekend where Serbia has a fjord.

22·07 / 4 minThe van is not a car for those who have given up driving — but for those who have realized that 1,600 liters of luggage space changes the whole vacation.
21·07 / 7 minA fifty-year-old pine cools the tent while the asphalt outside is 40°C. Three campsites in Dalmatia where you park your car in the shade, and the sea is a hundred steps away.
