Hike with an umbrella

This morning I leafed through the tours of my "komoot" friends from the last few days on the balcony. In this way, the appetite for hiking became greater than the realization that we actually had suboptimal hiking weather.

Photos cannot do justice to this stunning tour. Beautiful. The light, the perspectives, the contrasts, the way the paths (stairs) lead through the rock crevices: it is breathtaking. To make this round you also have to take a kilometer on an asphalt road (with hardly any traffic) and that can be hot in the summer. Like today: it was 36 …

After the disappearance of the sea, today's rivers dug into the rocks and the current landscape of plateaus and deep valleys with fairytale rock formations emerged. There are plenty of campsites here and parking was free almost everywhere. There are also …

March 25, 2025,[LUX] Mullerthal Trail, Loop Nr.2, Teil 1 von Berdorf über Echternach nach Scheidgen

I actually wanted to run the trail from Berdorf the other way (counterclockwise), but I was apparently still too sleepy and took a wrong turn 🙈😁
But it didn't matter. It was great either way!
