Books

My desert journeys have always been marked by extraordinary encounters, exciting discoveries and sometimes hard borderline experiences. None of this I will ever forget. Why do you go to the desert?, I am often asked. Attempts to explain my deeply felt love for the desert can be found in the form of books.

In the text-illustrated book “Freiheit unterm Wüstenhimmel” (Freedom under the desert sky), published by the renowned Frederking & Thaler Verlag, I present my personal desert stories to the reader.
