On Sunday, I headed to the Taunus Mountains to run a 40-km loop with Jennie, a way to gradually ease back into running at more challenging distances. When I checked the weather forecast on Saturday, it predicted temperatures between 1 and 7 degrees Celsius for Sunday's run, with no rain. Perfect! So

Nicole and I had arranged to meet at 9:30 a.m. in the Hermersbergerhof parking lot for a joint hike in the Palatinate region. I was incredibly excited, as I felt like I hadn't been able to do any significant hikes since October. This anticipation grew even more on the drive there, when my GPS, coming

Blue skies at the end of December, not a cloud in the bright blue sky. So we took advantage of Sunday afternoon for a short walk to the Trommturm (Trumpet Tower). We started at Kreidacher Höhe.

The BO50 has been running in Weinheim for several years (bo50.de). Three circuit lengths are offered, ranging from 10 to 50 km, each starting in the Weinheim castle courtyard. This year, there was a new route, which initially ran south for 30 km along the Bergstrasse to Hohensachsen, then turned to the

Because of a town festival in Weinheim, my wife and I were looking for some peace and quiet nearby. We drove the short way to Ober-Liebersbach and from there started a short walk along the Sprücheweg (always fantastic!), then past the Dornwiese pond towards Juhöhe and back via the E5.



The nice thing

The last days of August have dawned. Fortunately, there aren't many signs of autumn yet. Only a sign at a Palatinate winery, which I pass early in the morning on the way to the meeting point, reminds me that summer is coming to an end: they're already serving Federweißer.



I'm meeting Nicole in Gleisweiler
