Biggi & Flo

and our travel blogger team

Phototravellers.de is the travel blog for adventurers and photographers. We enchant with breathtaking landscape photos, spectacular hikes, outdoor adventures and give many useful photo tips.

Founded in 2010, Phototravellers is now one of the most widely read travel blogs in the German-speaking world, with over 750,000 readers a month (to the mediakit). But we don’t travel alone anymore. In the meantime, we are a great team of travel-hungry globetrotters.

Primeval forests in Germany

Nature is very close to our hearts. In addition to our WalkInTrashOut campaign, since the beginning of 2022 we have been supporting the Green Forest Fund, which works to preserve our natural environment in Germany. We regularly donate trees, virgin forest, sustainable bee pastures and habitat for birds. And we do this in Germany so that future generations can also experience the beauty of our homeland.

Donated primeval forest, bee pasture and habitat for birds so far: 20 square meters
Donated trees so far: 8 trees for two years CO₂ compensation
