Ödön Lechner's independent pre-modern architecture
This nomination includes five buildings three of which are located in Budapest. I only visited two of the three in Budapest and found them both impressive from the outside. I …

Bauhaus Sites
On my stay in Weimar we visited the two sites of the Bauhaus nomination that are there: the Bauhaus University and Haus am Horn.
Haus am Horn was built as …

Hallstatt-Dachstein (Inscribed)
Hallstatt-Dachstein
I agree with the other reviewers this should have been a mixed nomination. Nonetheless, Hallstatt as a cultural site has a lot to offer too. The current town has some …

Mudejar Architecture of Aragon (Inscribed)
Mudejar Architecture of Aragon
I attended a conference in Zaragoza and naturally used the opportunity to visit its share of the Mudejar WHS nomination. Three of the inscribed monuments are in Zaragoza and the …

Cultural Landscape of Innsbru… (Removed from tentat…)
Cultural Landscape of Innsbruck Nordkette Karwende
I did not quite understand what this cultural landscape is all about. Innsbruck has a nice historic city centre, but nothing exceptional, not even for Austria. The Alps make a …

Wachau Cultural Landscape (Inscribed)
Wachau Cultural Landscape
On a day trip from Vienna I went to both Krems, Weißenkirchen and Dürnstein. Both proved to be quite a pleasant surprise.
Krems is the central town of the Wachau …

Wooden Churches of the Slovak Carpathians
During my trip to the Tatra Mountains I have been to the historic town of Kezmarok (Käsmark) not far away from Levoca, which is another WHS. Kezmarok used to be …

Natural Reserves of Tatras Mountain
The Tatra Mountains are probably Slovakia's best known attraction. They are part of the Carpathian range which is currently divided between Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania as well as little chunks …

Vlkolinec (Inscribed)
Vlkolinec
Before heading to Vlkolinec I read some reviews here and elsewhere and had the impression I was going to be disappointed by something underwhelming. Well, the village is extremely small …

Fertö/Neusiedlersee (Inscribed)
Fertö/Neusiedlersee
On a day trip from Vienna we travelled to Rust, by far the most famous resort aside the Neusiedlersee. It has a beautiful town square which makes most of the …

Jerusalem (On tentative list)
Jerusalem
This extention encompasses Mount Zion just outside the city walls near the Zion Gate. This is one of two ajacent mountains, the other being the Olive Mountain, both of great …

Architecture Moderne du XX siècle de la Ville de M
Montevideo is known for its Ciudad Vieja (Old City) which is mostly in Art Deco style with Palacio Selvo as the most iconic building. When I visited Uruguay Palacio Selvo …
Freiburg Cathedral (Removed from tentat…)
Freiburg Cathedral
I used to live and study in Freiburg and I enjoyed its picturesque old town a lot. The cathedral is certainly impressive, especially for a town that small. It is …
Arbel (On tentative list)
Arbel
Mount Arbel (or Arbel Cliff) is a mountain near the Sea of Galilee with a lovely view of the lake. Apart from this I can hardly see any reason for …

Buenos Aires – La Plata (Removed from tentat…)
Buenos Aires – La Plata
The city of BA is a very pleasant and bustling city with much Neoclassical Eurpean style architecture. I do not know what reasons exactly might justify its inscription though. I …

Qhapaq Ñan (Inscribed)
Qhapaq Ñan
In Argentina this nomination includes multiple locations throughout the Eastern border from Jujuy to Mendosa. I guess it should include the Quebrada de Humahuaca as well. In Salta Province there …

Chamangá: A Rock Paintings Area
Chamanga was a true challenge to find. We went there by car from Montevideo travelling for two hours, first on a paved road and then 30 minutes on an unpaved …

Quebrada de Humahuaca (Inscribed)
Quebrada de Humahuaca
This was the first site I visited outside of Europe and the Middle East. It was a lucky choice since the area has a very distinct atmposphere from what I …
