Namhansanseong

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 11-Apr-24

Namhansanseong

Getting around Greater Seoul is efficient and cheap with public transport. A T-Money Card is highly recommended. One can easily reach Namhansanseong by Seoul Metro, transferring to bus - the latter are well-kept and provide excellent Wi-Fi. On weekends, get off at Sanseong metro station and transfer to bus 9-1. From Mondays to Fridays, either transfer to bus 9 there or transfer to bus 9 or 52 at Namhansanseong metro station. To beat the crowds, avoid the weekends! 

My visit was on a Wednesday in late March 2024 and was not crowded at all. I started at Haenggung/Namhansanseong Palace, then walked to Bukmun/North Gate and from there counterclockwise close to the outer walls

Green Belt (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 02-Apr-24

Green Belt (T)

I am surprised and excited to see this nomination. Born in Fulda and still returning to the Rhön a lot for visiting family and practicing paragliding, I know the Rhön very well - but actually the whole area between Rhön and Harz mountains (I focus on the Rhön area in this post). What I do not quite get though is the „Natural only“ nomination. Needless to say, the former border, a man-made strip of landscape with many monuments and museums nowadays, would also fall into the „Cultural“ category (so why not nominate a „Mixed“ site here?). That said, the decade-long off-limits character has surely contributed to some untouched nature. I can recommend a visit to the Rhön, already a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Domaine de Fontainebleau (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 31-May-22

Domaine de Fontainebleau (T)

The Forest of Fontainebleau is huge in area (for a Central European forest) and nice to visit. The various sandstone formations scattered around, in particular the Place du Cuvier, form the birthplace of the sport of bouldering, and the landscape inspired the so-called Barbizon school of painters, who gathered in the village of the same name on the edge of the forest. However, I do not fully understand why the area should receive another WHS status. A large fraction is already protected under the WHS "Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe", including the areas around the Ermitage de Franchard, Les Gorges d’Apremont [visit/hike recommended] and Place du Cuvier

Domus de janas (T)

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 28-Apr-21

Domus de janas (T)

Sardinia boasts arguably the best beaches in Europe as well as countless prehistoric and protohistoric archaeological sites. This TWHS is only about necropoles though, not less than 35 in the description (out of more than 10,000 on Sardinia), and most of them situated in the northwest of the island. As I have not been to that part of the island yet, I have only seen two of the tentative sites: Li Muri near Arzachena and the mysterious Tomba del Labirinto. Both are unique and worth the visit, and the latter could definitely use a protection concept.

Eisinga Planetarium

Daniel C-Hazard Germany - 11-Sep-20

Eisinga Planetarium

In human history, there have always been individuals who were ahead of their time. Eise Eisinga was one of those. Actually a wool comber, he was also an amateur astronomer (and what an astronomer he was!).

In 1774, another Dutch amateur astronomer (and self-proclaimed preacher), Eelco Alta, predicted the end of the world, believing a rare conjunction of the Moon and the then-known four planets Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter would inevitably lead to a crash of the celestial bodies and the destruction of the Earth.
