United Kingdom

Quaint, peculiar, funny: the United Kingdom… our "Wahlheimat".

We actually like it here: the weather (and the food) are not quite as bad as the natives (and the French) make you believe.

Brecon Beacons

(vero;2020-May-31)

The pictures in this gallery have been taken during various stays in the Brecon Beacons. They are our “home mountains” which means we are often there, so it's worth coming back for checking this page for more pictures from time to time. We recommend also visiting our page with many panoramas taken during our numerous walks in the area.

Some of the photos in this gallery are panoramas. Press F to expand those pictures to their real size and use the bottom scroll bar to navigate through the picture.
