As the year draws to a close, we look back on two unforgettable journeys and a fantastic day trip full of magical moments, cultural experiences and breathtaking landscapes. From the mystical Highlands of Scotland to the green expanses of Ireland and Northern Ireland to the vibrant Czech metropolis of Prague and the capital of Europe, Brussels – these experiences have made 2024 a special year for us.
1. Celtic trip – Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland
Our van trip began in the awe-inspiring vastness of the Scottish Highlands. The rugged landscape, rugged mountains such as the Old Man of Storr and mysterious lochs left a deep impression on us. A highlight was our visit to Edinburgh, where history meets modern culture. From there we travelled to Northern Ireland. This country fascinated us with the magical backdrop of the Giant’s Causeway and the Game of Thrones filming locations that make this region a true land of adventure. Finally, we stopped off in Dublin, Ireland, before taking the van back to Scotland.

2. Prague – Journey to the heart of the Czech Republic
–In contrast to the Celtic landscapes, Prague, the golden city on the Vltava River, awaited us. The Czech capital enchanted us with its historic charm and incomparable architecture. A walk across the famous Charles Bridge, the view of Prague Castle and the Astronomical clock in the Old Town Square were absolute highlights.

3. Brussels — A short Christmas trip
As a change from everyday life, Brussels, the heart of Europe, whisked us away into a Christmas world full of charm and history. The gorgeously decorated city centre, the impressive Grand Place in its Christmas glow and the smell of fresh waffles immediately enchanted us. A stroll through the alleyways, past the Manneken Pis and a visit to various waffle shops made this day trip unforgettable.
