À la fin du XVIIIe siècle ils étaient trois à rêver, avec leur œuvre, d’atteindre les sommets, d'atteindre le firmament : Mozart et sa « Petite musique de nuit », les frères Montgolfier et leur ballon.

An Landschaft und Kultur ist der Camino del Norte entlang der spanischen Nordküste so vielfältig wie kaum ein anderer Weg. Die Pilgertour führt durch Naturschutzgebiete, über kilometerlange Strände und in mittelalterliche Städte. Doch Vorsicht vor den Pilgern!

Viele spanische Junkies und Chicas sind unterwegs sowie Pilger aus Frankreich, Deutschland und Dänemark.

The Tour of Flanders is Belgium's most brutal day in the saddle. The bike-crazed Flemish don't just send riders over cobblestone roads. Nor are they content to break the racers' legs with nearly 20 steep hills. No, the worst of all cycling worlds meet in Flanders with narrow, vertical roads paved with slippery, dangerous cobbles. The hills are so steep they are called "muurs", or walls, and they come one after another, for hours, until the riders are shattered with exhaustion. The Tour of Flanders is so fiendishly difficult that the man who wins it earns everlasting fame.

In the Navarre region, men taunt large, dangerous animals for Pamplona's annual Running of the Bulls. Andorra is its own little world, and not just because it's a 290-square-mile independent principality.
