How did the Austrian watercolour painter Adolf Hitler rise to power, and how did a civilized society as in Germany come to embrace his extreme ideas? These have been my enduring questions since I was a kid. On 1st November 2018 I joined a walking tour with a guide to sights in Munich where Hitler and the Nazism started to grow, and hoped to get some answers.

Always fullpacked. You can immediately feel the energy and joy here. Just take a step inside and you will be lifted up to great hights. This beer hall has also a dark secret from past: Hitler used to make speeches here to Nazi supporters. 

The fortress is the site of some of the most dramatic events in Norwegian history. It has been attacked six times by the Swedish, but never conquered. The only way the Swedish could enter the fortress were as tourists.

The area is full packed with creepy stories that have made deep marks, especially at Akershus festning - a place for restless spirits. This fortress is believed to be one of the most haunted places in Norway, and I can understand why.

Admired the Skopje fortress Kale on Sunday 8th April 2018. Located in the old town of Skopje, the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Built on the highest point overlooking the city and Vardar River. Got a fantastic view of the snowcapped montains and the Millennium Cross.

The 850 years of Tallinn´s architectural history give an impressing overview in various styles and architectural shapes. Tallinn is one of the best retained medieval European towns. Since 1997, the Old Town of Tallinn has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. It keeps Tallin`s dramatic history alive, and at the same time, it`s built for the eternity.

Dived into Marrakesh's historical side experiencing some of the city's most significant historical sites: mosques, palaces and tombs such as Koutoubia Mosque & Minaret, El Bahia Palace with 2 acres of gardens, and Saadian Tombs & Tiskiwin House filled with art. The minaret is a prominent feature in the Marrakesh skyline and can be seen from across the city. This beautifully crafted mosque is a must-see attraction in Morocco.

Experiencing the Muslim call for preyer in the Jemaa el Fna square, Medina, Marrakesh, was a mystical experience. After the sunset the sound of the muezzin's call to prayer filled the air. Listening to loud Muslim praying from the mosque’s loudspeakers was exciting.

Ohrid is the city where you can take a real spirituality journey, or just admire the architecture of the all the amazing churches. The city is often called " Balkan Pearl" or "Jerusalem of the Balkans". It had once 365 churches, one for each day of the year. Ohrid has still many churches, and the most impressing of them all is St. John Kaneo Church.

On a hilltop near Xaghra, surrounded by rippling palms, I explored the oldest free-standing structure on earth called Ggantija. Made some 5,500 years ago. The two temples of stones are so huge that the locals believed they were built by giants.

Message to the outer space, sacred place for rituals, guidance to water sources, or for another purpose? Practical use? Through previous years many new massive ancient drawings have been discovered.

Searched for long forgotten souls in Zagreb, Croatia, on Friday the 13th October 2017. Ventured a step into the spiritual world where ghosts live. Walked around at graveyards and other haunted places: heard amazing stories about spirits, curses, witches, secret societies and even dragons. What is hiding in the darkness here?

Instead of experiencing Croatia`s dazzling coastline, I admired the beauty of the country`s inland capital Zagreb. The city is full of open air galleries and architectural wonders, which make the city very much alive. Some of them are the Croatian National Theater, Mt. Medvednica, The Church of St. Mark, and the Zagreb Cathedral. Also the streets themselves are all architectural wonders.

For almost 2,000 years, the Blomsholm Ship has 'sailed' across the meadows. It covers also a pre-historic grave: does it symbolise the buried person's last journey?

The Norwegian Vikings are still going strong. Full action at the festival Olavsfestivalen today 15th July 2017 in Landeparken by Tunevannet in Sarpsborg, Norway.
