Mont-Saint-Michel by Hubert

Mont-Saint-Michel (Inscribed)

Mont-Saint-Michel

Even though I had seen many photos of Mont-Saint-Michel, it was a real wow-effect when I saw this pyramid for the first time. The Mont and the striking shape of …

D-Day Landing Beaches, Normandy, 1944 by Hubert

D-Day Landing Beaches, Norman… (Nominated)

D-Day Landing Beaches, Normandy, 1944

The "Plagues du Débarquement" or D-Day beaches were added to the French T-list at the same day as the funeral sites and memorials of WWI. Two seemingly similar nomination, but …

Le Havre by Hubert

Le Havre (Inscribed)

Le Havre

"Perret, la poétique du béton" (Perret, the poetics of concrete) was written on a poster at the Maison du Patrimoine in Le Havre. Well, that's certainly exaggerated and I can …

Jewish-Medieval heritage of Erfurt by Hubert

Jewish-Medieval heritage of E… (Inscribed)

Jewish-Medieval heritage of Erfurt

The subtitle sounds a bit overblown and boastful compared to what this T-list site actually includes, namely a synagogue, the ruins of a ritual bath and a secular building. The …

ShUM Sites by Hubert

ShUM Sites (Inscribed)

ShUM Sites

The term ShUM is an acronym from the initial letters of the medieval names of Speyer, Worms and Mainz in Hebrew: Schin (Sh) for Schpira, Waw (U) for Warmaisa und …

Water Management System of Augsburg by Hubert

Water Management System of Au… (Inscribed)

Water Management System of Augsburg

I am pretty sure most people in Augsburg did not realize that the historic water management has the potential for a WHS until it was proposed for the new German …

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt  by Hubert

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt (Inscribed)

Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt

The Mathildenhöhe Artists' Colony is one of the most promising candidates on the new German tentative list, and it is also a site which I would like to see inscribed. …

Caves and Ice Age Art by Hubert

Caves and Ice Age Art (Inscribed)

Caves and Ice Age Art

The paleontologists in Germany suffer a bit from the fact, that there are no sites of prehistoric rock art, not even simple scratches of arrows or circles, not to mention …

Maulbronn Monastery by Hubert

Maulbronn Monastery (Inscribed)

Maulbronn Monastery

The Maulbronn WHS is a perfect example of a medieval monastery, the special feature is that not only the monastic buildings have been preserved but also the entire ensemble of …

Speyer Cathedral by Hubert

Speyer Cathedral (Inscribed)

Speyer Cathedral

Opinions on the Speyer Cathedral vary considerably: either a marvellous example of Romanesque architecture or a bare and austere interior without any spirit. I must admit that the atmosphere inside …

Early Christian Necropolis of Pécs by Hubert

Early Christian Necropolis of… (Inscribed)

Early Christian Necropolis of Pécs

For World Heritage enthusiasts Pécs is located in the middle of nowhere, the next WHS is in a straight-line distance of 170 kilometres (Budapest), which is quite a lot on …

Hollókö by Hubert

Hollókö (Inscribed)

Hollókö

Hollókõ is a fine example of vernacular architecture, which has remained virtually unchanged for centuries. Although the village was burned down several times, it was always restored in the style …

Hortobágy by Hubert

Hortobágy (Inscribed)

Hortobágy

Puszta, a well-known term that is inseparably linked to Hungary. But what can be expected from this WHS? The last remains of an unspoilt cultural landscape with traces of the …

Tokaji Wine Region by Hubert

Tokaji Wine Region (Inscribed)

Tokaji Wine Region

The Hungarian World Heritage Sites never seemed very appealing to me (with the exception of Budapest), and it never crossed my mind to plan a trip to Eastern Hungary as …

Aggtelek and Slovak Karst by Hubert

Aggtelek and Slovak Karst (Inscribed)

Aggtelek and Slovak Karst

The cave system of the Aggtelek and Slovak Karst was inscribed mainly because of the high number of caves in a relatively small area and the variety of geological morphology, …

Bardejov Town by Hubert

Bardejov Town (Inscribed)

Bardejov Town

Bardejov is a sleepy small town not far from the border with Poland, we visited the WHS in August 2014. The inscription is based on the almost completely preserved medieval …

Spissky Hrad and Levoca by Hubert

Spissky Hrad and Levoca (Inscribed)

Spissky Hrad and Levoca

Without a doubt, Spissky hrad is a spectacular sight, the castle built of white travertine and towering on a green hill is a popular photo subject from every side and …

Wooden Churches of the Slovak Carpathians by Hubert

Wooden Churches of the Slovak… (Inscribed)

Wooden Churches of the Slovak Carpathians

The eight wooden churches of this WHS are spread over a wide area, almost across the whole territory of the Slovak Carpathians. We visited seven of them in August 2014, …

Wooden Churches of Southern Malopolska by Hubert

Wooden Churches of Southern M… (Inscribed)

Wooden Churches of Southern Malopolska

Three separate World Heritage sites in one region with a total of thirty individual sites - much ado just about wooden churches? At least these were my thoughts before we …

Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region by Hubert

Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpat… (Inscribed)

Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region

The tserkvas in the Polish Carpathians were definitely our favourites among the three wooden church WHS and one of the highlights of our trip through Lesser Poland and Slovakia in …
