Highlight • Viewpoint

During peak times on the weekend, you have to be very careful. But it's worth stopping at the side of the road and enjoying the view! As a cyclist, I enjoy the cycle path, great!

Outer Alster | On the road with moonstrucks

It is said that moonstrucks, also known as sleepwalkers, get up at night when the moon is full and do the things they couldn't do during the day.

This is different for moonstruck Komootlers. They meet after work in a restaurant on the Krugkoppelbrücke. After a snack and a cold drink, take …

April 13, 2024,Runde um die Alster

The start and finish of my tour around the Outer Alster was the "Harvestehuder Weg" bus stop on line 19. From there I went through the Eichenpark onto the circular path, which is a footpath and cycle path that goes around the entire Outer Alster. Only on the "Schöne Aussicht" street is there a short stretch through a canyon …

If you want, you can also rent a pedal boat and take a tour of the Alster.
In addition to sunny sections, the path also has shady spots again and …

March 13, 2022,Außenalster-Runde, ein Geheimtipp 🙈

Capturing this walk around the Outer Alster was a fun photo project for your own entertainment. The photos are meant to be 'shot there', while I otherwise try to select photogenic (or informative) motifs.
A walk reveals different aspects than walking around at twice the speed. For example, I noticed for the first time that not a few villas appear …
