Jakob Frenzel Profile
I was born in 1987 in West-Berlin. Since then I have visited many places in Europe and went on four trips through the USA, to New Zealand and Thailand.
2005 I discovered the magnificance of World heritage sites and since then try not to miss any on our journeys. We try to plan trips according to the locactions of WHS sites. That way we visited 18 sites in England 2018! And 28 sites on a trip to the Normandy. More trips like that are planned.
The German Televison produces short documentaries on each site, called Schätze der Welt, which I record and love to watch with the whole family. I recommend it to every WHS enthusiast.

Naples
Jakob Frenzel Germany - 13-Nov-23
March 2023 - after visiting Caserta we based ourselves on a campground in Pompeji. Perfect to visit Naples by train for a few €, which we did the next morning. From the train station we strolled over the fish market in the Via Sopramura where our daughter was invited to pet all kinds of Crustacea and Mollusculs, that we had never even be aware of. The walked through the neighbourhood rather fast, as it looked somewhat intimidating. However, we soon reached the Via San Gregorio Armeno with its kitchy crips and the first hordes of tourists appeared.

Jakob Frenzel Germany - 06-Jun-23
March 2023 - Bagnoregio was on our way south. Not only a promising tentative site but also nominated for this year, we definitely put it on our itinerary. We arrived in the evening and parked our camper on the Public parking lot. Next morning before the tourist masses would appear we walked our way to the Bridge, had the best Cappuccino of the whole trip in a random Café on the main street to Civita.
Already in the morning we had to pay 5€ to climb up the steep bridge to the towns entrance. The town was completely deserted at first, except for a few cats enjoying the sunshine. The Restaurants and souvenir Shops were still to be opened. We enjoyed the scenery visible from the few viewpoints, which is part of the nomination, as well as the many planters embellishing the facades
Read OnThe Porticoes of Bologna
Jakob Frenzel Germany - 31-May-23
In 2016 we made a short stopover in Bologna and walked around the center not knowing yet which parts will belong to the WHS. Now in March 2023 we arrived around 10.a.m., parked outside the center and chose a Tour between the different Clusters of porticoes. Our first cluster was via Zamboni from there to the Strada Maggiore. Our daughter enjoyed Bologna strolling around the flat terrazzo with her scooter.Around noon we arrived at the Via Stefano, where we missed Tickets for the Torre Asinelli, but had perfect Pasta al ragout at Sfoglia Rina. I really can recommend lunch there, although it is a Instagram hyped place. After lunch we still strolled around San Petronio before we took resumed our travels to south eastern Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi. Bologna is a wonderful city
Read OnFerrara
Jakob Frenzel Germany - 24-May-23
March 2023 - so far we had missed Ferrara on our trips. This time it was on the itinerary, as we wanted to complete Italy's WHS list. After we had lunch in Vicenza we drove partly Highway, partly on smaller roads towards our next Stop. South of the old town there is a large parking lot at the mura ferrara where we also spent the night in our campervan.
It was only a few minutes walk to the Castello and the Cattedrale. This evening we still had Gelato and Pizza on the hand and made a short walk through the old town. However, as it was Friday night, the bars filled up with more and more people, thus we decided to return to the Camper. I woke up at 6 next morning and decided to take another Walk through the center. Garbagemen were tyding up squeky clean.
Read OnVicenza and the Palladian Villas
Jakob Frenzel Germany - 24-May-23
March 2023 - on our 4,5 week trip to Italy and Back, this was our first WHS sight. However only a short revisit, after we had already been here in September 2014. Back then we enjoyed the Classicist buildings in Vicenza and spend the the evening at the Piazza dei signori drinking Sprizz for 2,50€ and had a nice chat with a GI from the nearby US military base.
This time we were here at noon time and searched for a quick lunch. We had only a glimpse at the historic buildings. The most enjoyable part was the Parco Querini with its rabbit population and the tortoise.
