Marcel Burger - Third time's the charm

View over Kraków on a fresh January day

I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm.

Still processing the photos of my summer trip of last year, I am happy to share my first series of my first ever visit to Montenegro and its Bay of Kotor.

Bay of Kotor | Montenegro

20 February 2026 •Tucked away from the big blue sea, there is a tiny and long strip of villages and towns that meander on the banks of the hills and mountains holding the Bay of Kotor. This is Montenegro at its best. While the town Kotor itself might be the first destination in one's mind, there are more tranquil places at the waterfront, with Perast as a favourite.

Düsseldorf | Germany

8 February 2026 • With about 620,000 inhabitants, Düsseldorf is the 6th largest city of Germany. It is nicely located on the Rhine river, it is a place of many fairs and its airport is a major hub. It is this landing zone I used back in 2009 to get to my destination and I took a few hours to walk through this city, mostly in the Medienhafen area.

Morskie Oko in Tatra National Park | Poland

1 February 2026 • One of the most popular hikes in the Tatra Mountains on the Polish side is the easy route up to Morskie Oko (Eye of the Sea), the largest lake in this mountain range. The trail is especially fun on snow, when the white powder evens out the short-cuts and gives a soft layer to your feet.
