Signés en 1985 et mis en œuvre en 1995, les accords de Schengen autorisent la libre circulation des personnes et harmonisent les contrôles des voyageurs au sein de l’espace constitué par ces Etats.
L'Union européenne, elle, concerne la circulation des personnes, des capitaux, des biens et des services.
26 pays sont membres de l'espace Schengen , dont 22 appartiennent également à l’Union européenne : Allemagne, Autriche, Belgique, Danemark, Espagne, Estonie, Finlande, France, Grèce, Hongrie, Islande (hors UE), Italie, Lettonie, Liechtenstein (hors UE), Lituanie, Luxembourg, Malte, Norvège (hors UE), Pays-Bas, Pologne, Portugal, République tchèque, Slovaquie, Slovénie, Suède, Suisse (hors UE).
Les 5 Etats membres de l’UE ne faisant pas partie de l’espace Schengen sont la Croatie, l’Irlande, la Roumanie, la Bulgarie et Chypre.
Le principe de la liberté de circulation des personnes implique que tout individu (ressortissant de l’UE ou d’un pays tiers), une fois entré sur le territoire de l’un des pays membres, peut franchir les frontières des autres pays sans subir de contrôles. Les vols aériens entre villes de l’espace Schengen sont considérés comme des vols intérieurs.

Late afternoon under a bright November light, the rock formations at Meteora, Thessaly, Greece.
Yes, I went to Greece again, for some reason I'm drawn back there again and again, but this time there was some resistance at immigration, they were actually counting the days I spent in the Schengen zone in the past 12 months, analyzing each stamp, apparently the douchebag at Frankfurt airport never stamped me out of Europe in May, and now they wanted proof that I spent less than 3 months in Europe, of course I was not nearly at that limit, phff, I will enter again in January I wonder if this will again be a headache.
Why does an American spending his good money get more scrutiny than a potential terrorist, oh, sorry. "migrant", from the middle east they're letting in without a visa???
Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, the mainland territory of which comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The remote Arctic island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard also form part of Norway.
Bouvet Island, located in the Subantarctic, is a dependency of Norway; it also lays claims to the Antarctic territories of Peter I Island and Queen Maud Land. The capital and largest city in Norway is Oslo.
Norway has a total area of 385,207 square kilometres and had a population of 5,385,300 in November 2020.The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden at a length of 1,619 km or 1,006 mi. It is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east and the Skagerrak strait to the south, on the other side of which are Denmark and the United Kingdom. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea. The maritime influence dominates Norway's climate, with mild lowland temperatures on the sea coasts; the interior, while colder, is also a lot milder than areas elsewhere in the world on such northerly latitudes. Even during polar night in the north, temperatures above freezing are commonplace on the coastline. The maritime influence brings high rainfall and snowfall to some areas of the country.
Harald V of the House of Glücksburg is the current King of Norway. Jonas Gahr Støre has been prime minister since 2021, replacing Erna Solberg. As a unitary sovereign state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the parliament, the cabinet and the supreme court, as determined by the 1814 constitution. The kingdom was established in 872 as a merger of many petty kingdoms and has existed continuously for 1,149 years. From 1537 to 1814, Norway was a part of the Kingdom of Denmark–Norway, and from 1814 to 1905, it was in a personal union with the Kingdom of Sweden. Norway was neutral during the First World War and remained so until April 1940 when the country was invaded and occupied by Germany until the end of World War II.
Norway has both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: counties and municipalities. The Sámi people have a certain amount of self-determination and influence over traditional territories through the Sámi Parliament and the Finnmark Act. Norway maintains close ties with both the European Union and the United States. Norway is also a founding member of the United Nations, NATO, the European Free Trade Association, the Council of Europe, the Antarctic Treaty, and the Nordic Council; a member of the European Economic Area, the WTO, and the OECD; and a part of the Schengen Area. In addition, the Norwegian languages share mutual intelligibility with Danish and Swedish.
Norway maintains the Nordic welfare model with universal health care and a comprehensive social security system, and its values are rooted in egalitarian ideals. The Norwegian state has large ownership positions in key industrial sectors, having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, and fresh water. The petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).On a per-capita basis, Norway is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas outside of the Middle East.
The country has the fourth-highest per-capita income in the world on the World Bank and IMF lists.
On the CIA's GDP (PPP) per capita list which includes autonomous territories and regions, Norway ranks as number eleven. It has the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, with a value of US$1 trillion.
Norway has had the highest Human Development Index ranking in the world since 2009, a position also held previously between 2001 and 2006;[ it also has the highest inequality-adjusted ranking per 2018. Norway ranked first on the World Happiness Report for 2017 and currently ranks first on the OECD Better Life Index, the Index of Public Integrity, the Freedom Index, and the Democracy Index. Norway also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
The majority of the population is Norwegian. Recently immigration has accounted for more than half of population growth; as of 2021, the five largest minority groups in the country are the descendants of Polish, Lithuanian, Somalians, Pakistans, and Swedish immigrants
My train from St.Moritz to Tirano.
What a fantastic travel experience while crossing the Bernina Pass, and to observe a furious snow storm on the way.
For many decades, the border bridge in Hardegg was the symbol par excellence of the Iron Curtain. It always spanned the Thaya River, but not to connect Austria and the CSSR. On the contrary, from the middle of the river there were no more wooden planks, on the far bank you could see a watchtower, only the heavily armed troops were usually not seen.
Since the Schengen Agreement came into force, the romantic bridge could be walked on freely, now it is closed again in order to slow down the Corona virus tourism. Let's hope that the closure is only temporary.

The site as it stands today dates back to the 1950s and 1960s. Although these lakes are artificial, they were not created for tourism or leisure purposes.
Before the 1950s, Luxembourg exploited local sand pits in this area. In other words, quarries from which sand, gravel and pebbles were extracted for construction purposes. When the quarrying stopped, the artificially created basins filled up with groundwater. This is how the Remerschen lakes came into being.
Vue sur Palzem en Allemagne depuis Stadtbredimus au Luxembourg.
La Moselle prend sa source à une hauteur de 731 mètres près du Col de Bussang. La source officielle est marquée par un puits mais en réalité elle se trouve encore un peu plus haut. Elle parcourt 560 kilomètres dont 314 en France. A peine 39 kilomètres forment la frontière entre le Luxembourg et l'Allemagne. Puis la Moselle devient allemande à part entière sur une longueur de 208 kilomètres. La Moselle est la seule voie navigable du Luxembourg et Mertert l'unique port du Grand-Duché. La rivière traverse les villes d'Epinal, Toul, Pont-à-Mousson, Metz et Thionville pour le territoire français. Schengen, Remich, Grevenmacher et Wasserbillig sont les localités principales luxembourgeoises. Enfin, du côté allemand les villes de Trêves, Cochem et Coblence où à une hauteur de 82 mètres, la Moselle se jette dans le Rhin.

Muskau Park (German: Muskauer Park, officially: Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau; Polish: Park Mużakowski) is a landscape park in the Upper Lusatia region of Germany and Poland. It is the largest and one of the most famous English gardens in Central Europe, stretching along both sides of the German–Polish border on the Lusatian Neisse. The park was laid out from 1815 onwards at the behest of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871), centered on his Schloss Muskau residence.
In July 2004, Muskau Park was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The park covers 3.5 square kilometers (1.4 sq mi) of land in Poland and 2.1 km2 (0.81 sq mi) in Germany. It extends on both sides of the Neisse, which constitutes the border between the countries. The 17.9 km2 (6.9 sq mi) buffer zone around the park encompassed the German town Bad Muskau (Upper Sorbian: Mužakow) in the West and Polish Łęknica (Wjeska, former Lugknitz) in the East. While Muskau Castle is situated west of the river, the heart of the park is the partially wooded raised areas on the east bank called The Park on Terraces. In 2003 a pedestrian bridge spanning the Neisse was rebuilt to connect both parts.
On July 2, 2004, UNESCO added the park to its World Heritage List, as an exemplary example of cross-border cultural collaboration between Poland and Germany. It was added to the list on two criteria: for breaking new ground in terms of development towards the ideal man-made landscape, and for its influence on the development of landscape architecture as a discipline. The park also stands as one of Poland's official Historic Monuments (pomnik historii), as designated May 1, 2004, and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
A fortress on the Neisse at Muskau was first mentioned as early as the 13th century under the rule of Margrave Henry III of Meissen. The founder of the adjacent park was Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), the author of the influential Remarks on Landscape Gardening and owner of the state country of Muskau from 1811. After prolonged studies in England, in 1815 during the time when the northeastern part of Upper Lusatia fell to Prussia, he laid out the Park. As time went by, he established an international school of landscape management in Bad Muskau and outlined the construction of an extensive landscape park which would envelop the town "in a way not done before on such a grand scale".
The works involved remodelling the Baroque "Old Castle" - actually a former castle gate - and the construction of a Gothic Revival chapel, an English cottage, several bridges, and an orangery designed by Friedrich Ludwig Persius. Pückler reconstructed the medieval fortress as the "New Castle", the compositional centre of the park, with a network of paths radiating from it and a pleasure ground influenced by the ideas of Humphry Repton, whose son John Adey worked at Muskau from 1822 on. The extensions went on until 1845, when Pückler because of his enormous debts was constrained to sell the patrimony. The next year it was acquired by Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, who employed Eduard Petzold, Pückler's disciple and a well-known landscape gardener, to complete his design. Upon his death in 1881, he was succeeded by his daughter Princess Marie, who sold the estates to the Arnim family.
During the Battle of Berlin, both castles were levelled and all four bridges across the Neisse were razed. Count von Arnim-Muskau was dispossessed by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany and since the implementation of the Oder-Neisse line in 1945, the park has been divided by the state border between Poland and Germany, with two thirds of it on the Polish side. Not until the 1960s did the authorities gradually accept the legacy of the "Junker" Prince Pückler. The Old Castle was rebuilt by the East German administration in 1965-1972, while the New Castle and the bridges are still being restored. The Englische Brücke ("English Bridge") across the River Neisse has been repaired and was rededicated on 17 October 2011, after having been demolished with explosives in 1945.
After the Revolutions of 1989 the German and Polish administration joined forces in the redevelopment of the park ensemble. Since Poland entered the Schengen Area in 2007, visitors may freely explore both parts of the park without border checks.
