May 15, 2025,Dalwhinnie: Loch Ericht und Distillery

I hadn't thought it would be so easy to get to the Scottish Highlands by train.

Hamburg - Cologne - London.

From here, take the Caledonian Sleeper train and travel as far as Inverness.

Since I had to go to the UK for family reasons, I decided to give it a try.

May 19, 2024,Dalwhinnie station – Dalwhinnie Old School Hostel Runde von Dalwhinnie

Nice little walk, starting from Dalwhinnie Old School Hostel (excellent Hostel in case you want to stay longer), which is right across the train station. The walk brings you to Loch Ericht and around the Caochan wood, a mysterious looking forest and you can visit the Dalwhinnie Distillery along the way.
