D5 Roadbook is my personal blog about the Land Rover Discovery 5 – covering technology, experiences, accessories, travel and the story of my own Discovery 5 D350.
What to expect from D5 Roadbook
This is not just about the car, but about the whole story behind it – from ordering and technology to accessories, travel and everyday experiences with the Land Rover Discovery 5. Along the way, I also share landscape photography and special places from my home region, the Sauerland– a rural, mountainous region in western Germany known for its forests, lakes and winding roads.

Sauerland – my home, my backdrop
The Sauerland is my home region in western Germany – a landscape of forests, hills, lakes and winding country roads. It is not only the starting point for many of my trips, but also an important part of the D5 Roadbook. Here I share landscape photography, special places, photo spots and short tours from my home region – sometimes with the Discovery, sometimes simply for the scenery..
