Engelsberg Ironworks

On the 13th of August 2006 we (me, Mattias and his mother) took a trip to the Engelsberg Ironworks. It happened to be the yearly celebration of the Ironworks, so there were heaps of activities... and it's a very nice place to go for a day visit! It's really beautiful, and captures a lot of typical Swedish environments. To our surprise (and joy) there was even a small world heritage exibition.

Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape

I forgot! We actually visited 3 WH sites on our trip to Austria in november. How could I forget Fertö/Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape? When visiting our good friends in Gols, we practically live in the Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape and we even made a very cold and very uncomfortable visit to the lake itself. In November, Neusiedlersee isn't a very nice place, but I really wish I could go back in summer...

Historic Centre of Rome

Historic Centre of Rome, the Properties of the Holy See in that City Enjoying Extraterritorial Rights and San Paolo Fuori le Mura

Perhaps the longest name of a world heritage I've visited... And since it's been embarrassingly long since I visited any sites (I haven't touched WH ground since november!), I will backtrack my way down my list... starting with a classic: the Historic Centre of Rome.

I've been to Rome a few times now, and my last visit was in march 2007, together with Mattias, our daughter Ester, Mattias' brother and my parents. In other words a family vacation. And Ester is getting a good start on her WH career, having been breast fed inside the Collosseum, and on Forum Romanum.
