Great Spa Towns of Europe by Hubert

Great Spa Towns of Europe (Inscribed)

Great Spa Towns of Europe

The German part of this tentative site was reduced from the original six locations to three in the final nomination. And rightly so in my opinion. The remaining ones are: …

Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro

Madrid is certainly the most prominent member of the club "European capitals without World Heritage Site". Spain is densely covered with WHS, almost every region and island has at least …

Caceres by Hubert

Caceres (Inscribed)

Caceres

The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales

“To steal a mountain” was the title of the introductory film in the National Slate Museum in Llanberis. And if you look at the mountainside above Llyn (Lake) Peris, you …

Schwerin Residence Ensemble by Hubert

Schwerin Residence Ensemble (Inscribed)

Schwerin Residence Ensemble

Residence Ensemble Schwerin – Cultural Landscape of Romantic Historicism: The full name of the TWHS indicates that it is about more than the Schwerin Castle with its gardens. And Indeed, …

Lower German Limes by Hubert

Lower German Limes (Inscribed)

Lower German Limes

The nomination of the Lower German Limes is scheduled for 2021. The German part of this TWHS includes 25 components, some of which have multiple locations. However, not much is …

Stralsund and Wismar by Hubert

Stralsund and Wismar (Inscribed)

Stralsund and Wismar

There are good reasons why these two Hanseatic towns were inscribed together as one World Heritage Site. They have a lot in common: a similar medieval layout, churches in Brick …

Great Spa Towns of Europe by Hubert

Great Spa Towns of Europe (Inscribed)

Great Spa Towns of Europe

The story of this transnational nomination began in 2008 when "The Spa of Luhačovice" was deferred by the WHC. The ABE evaluation was clear: no OUV for Luhačovice alone, but …

Mozu-Furuichi Kofun by Hubert

Mozu-Furuichi Kofun (Inscribed)

Mozu-Furuichi Kofun

Without doubt, you get the best impression of this WHS from an aerial view. Shortly after the departure from Kansai Airport westwards you have a perfect view of the Mozu …

Nikko by Hubert

Nikko (Inscribed)

Nikko

"Don't say beautifully until you've seen Nikkō" is an old Japanese saying. And not without reason. The temples and shrines of Nikkō are famous for their colourful ornaments and the …

Tomioka Silk Mill

All of the previous reviewers visited only one of the four locations that make up this WHS, the main site: the Tomioka Silk Mill. And to tell it right away: …

Shortly before I left for my trip to Japan in September 2019, I realized that it would be possible to tick off one of the 23 locations of Japan’s Meiji …

Fujisan by Hubert

Fujisan (Inscribed)

Fujisan

The classic way to visit the Fujisan WHS would be to hike up to the summit at 3770 m. But for normal hikers, this is only possible in July and …

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama by Hubert

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama (Inscribed)

Shirakawa-go and Gokayama

The title of this WHS could be a little misleading at first glance, as Shirakawa-go and Gokoyama denote the regions, the names of the three inscribed villages are Ogimachi, Suganuma, …

Kii Mountain Range by Hubert

Kii Mountain Range (Inscribed)

Kii Mountain Range

To visit the Kii Mountain WHS, Yoshino is the closest option from Nara. I visited Yoshino in September 2019 and spent a day and a half there. Yoshino is the …

Himeji-jo by Hubert

Himeji-jo (Inscribed)

Himeji-jo

"White Heron Castle" is the poetic name of Himeji-jo. Its white walls and roofs are said to be reminiscent of a bird starting to fly. Well, I couldn't really spot …
