Austria - Hittisau, Fatimakapelle

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:14:38 +0000

The Fatimakapelle (Fatima Chapel) was donated by an inhabitant from Hittisau. He promised to build a chapel if his son, who had been seriously injured, would recover. After 43 days in he was discharged in good health and the family began building the chapel in 1949. The tuff stone for the grotto was quarried from the Engen Loch on the nearby river Bolgenach.

In 1950, following its completion, the chapel was consecrated. The Fatimakapelle was renovated in 1986.

The chapel is named after the town of Fátima, the most important place of pilgrimage in Portugal and one of the best-known in the Roman Catholic Church. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Take the car, Sal. I'll be here a while.
You sure, boss? They say a big storm's comin'.
Yeah. A little snow is no big deal.
Could be bad, boss. Like 2 feet.
What, you think the subway's gonna freeze up and stop? Cabs buried in snow? That I'll be struggling through drifts down abandoned streets with winds howling at 50 mph at 2:00 in the morning on Christmas Day? Like it might as well be North Dakota not Brooklyn? Like I'll have to beg for shelter at some 24-hour drug rehab center or all-night gas station?
You sure you never done this before, boss?
Maybe once.

Austria - Kleinwalsertal/Baad, Martins Kapelle

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

A first chapel in Baad was built in 1636. The consecration took place in 1663 in honor of St. Martin, the Virgin Mary and St. Wendelin. The little church was elevated to the status of a branch parish in 1711. The chapel was extended in 1738 and 1767, and demolished in 1851 due to the risk of avalanches.

The present Martins Kapelle (Martins Chapel) was built on a hill to the north of the village in 1851 and consecrated in 1855. Restoration work on the church was carried out in 1905 and from 1971 to 1972. Nowadays the small mountain chapel still towers above the village of Baad.

During our winter holiday (February 2026), unlike in previous years, we had a lot of snowfall. This resulted in some truly fairytale-like images.

The pictures were taken during a walk from the valley station of the Söllereck lift to the Freibergsee.

Germany - Oberstdorf, Trettachtal

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:16:34 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

Trettachtal (Trettach Valley) is one of Oberstdorf’s valleys, which are characterised by glacial drift from the latest ice age. The valley glaciers from the large side valleys gradually crept south, forming the scenery that is visible today. As the glaciers receded, watercourses formed the current valleys, among them the beautiful Trettachtal.

The Trettach stream originates south of Oberstdorf near the Trettachspitze and is about 14 km long. North of Oberstdorf, the Trettach merges with the Breitach to form the river Iller.

Germany - Oberstdorf/Birgsau, Wendelins-Kapelle

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:40:37 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

The first records of a chapel in Birgsau date back to 1680. At that time, it was a small wayside chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Construction of the chapel began in 1846 but, due to difficulties, was not completed until two years later. The interior was designed by craftsmen and artists from Oberstdorf. In 1848, the little church was consecrated as the Wendelins-Kapelle (Wendelin Chapel)

However, the present-day altar with its paintings dates from 1938. In choosing the colours, the artist took particular care to use the original colours of local flowers.

Germany - Oberstdorf, Christlessee

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:12:37 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

The Christlessee is a mountain lake in the heart of the Trettach valley, at an altitude of more than 900 meters. There are several karst springs at the bottom of the lake, which ensure that it never freezes – even with minus 30 degrees - over in winter, as this spring water has a temperature of four to six degrees in both summer and winter. Just to the south of the lake are powerful springs, which feed clear water into the lake, giving it good drinking water quality.

Nederland - Apeldoorn, Landgoed Woudhuizen

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:20:15 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

Landgoed Woudhuizen has a natural-historical as well as an important cultural-historical past. Already in the 14th century there is evidence of habitation. In view of the flooded environment in many places, it must have looked largely wet and swampy. The estate is officially mentioned for the first time in the year 1582, when it came into the hands of the St. Catharina Gasthuis in Arnhem.

In 1860, the - in Apeldoorn - well known family Tutein Nolthenius bought the western part of the estate and built the mansion Het Woldhuis (main image). In 1964 the municipality of Apeldoorn bought the eastern part. Eleven years later this was followed by the purchase of the other part, making the estate ‘complete’ again.

Landgoed Woudhuizen is characterised by an alternation of woods, meadows, wooded banks and fens. The estate - approximately 225 ha - is intersected by old tree-lined avenues and still has some little old farmhouses . Since March 2020, the estate has been managed by Natuurmonumenten, a Dutch society for preservation of nature monuments in the Netherlands.
