Camping in Stendenitz

This wasn't a lucky season for bikepacking—bad weather, mechanical problems, and lack of time conspired against me. But I managed to catch a break this weekend. I chose a campsite almost at random (I just had a rough distance and direction in mind), but I hit the jackpot. It was a beautiful, quiet place, and I was assigned a wonderful spot right in front of the lake. This will most likely be my last night out this year, but it was a great one.

Venetogravel 2025

Over the last weekend I partecipated to my second Venetogravel. This time following the Short Beach track, covering approximately 400 kilometers and 2200 meters of elevation. The weather in the first two day was not the best, but I still enjoyed it very much. Here some stats and a small selection of pictures

The Hygieia Fountain in Hamburg

I recently spent a weekend in Hamburg to visit friends. While exploring the city my attention was caught, for some reason, by the fountain situated in the courtyard of the city hall, and the sculptures that surround it. It's called Hygieia Fountain.

Hygieia as the goddess of health and hygiene in Greek mythology and its surrounding figures represents the power and pureness of the water. It was built in remembrance of the cholera epidemic in 1892, the former technical purpose was air cooling in the city hall
