Jumieges - schönste Ruine der Normandie
Zur Geschichte der Abtei Jumièges:
Die Abtei Jumièges wurde um 654 vom heiligen Philibert als Benediktinerkloster gegründet und entwickelte sich zu einem bedeutenden geistlichen Zentrum.
Nachdem sie im 9. Jahrhundert bei Raubzügen der Wikinger zerstört worden war, erlebte sie ab dem 11. Jahrhundert unter normannischer Herrschaft eine neue Blütezeit. Die…

Our first undertaking in Normandy this year: We went to visit the ruins of the former abbey, which are advertised as the most beautiful ruins of Normandy at least. This is not too much to promise.
A successful start, the old walls offer a special atmosphere and always open up new, interesting and appealing

Leichlingen - Wenzelnberg (Gedenkstätte) - Hasenmühle
Von Leichlingen entlang der Wupper, überwiegend das Land rechts vom Fluss - meist auf Wegen und Pfaden, oft nur leicht oder nicht befestigt.
Eine Besonderheit und besuchenswert ist die Gedenkstätte an ein Verbrechen von Gestapo und SS in den letzten Tagen des 2. Weltkriegs in den Schluchten des Wenzelnbergs.
Ungewöhnlich…

The Bergisches Land showed its wild and at the same time dreamy side on this stage of my Wupper hikes.
What began as a quiet tour from Leichlingen quickly developed into a real orientation challenge at Wenzelnberg.
After a short but crisp ascent, I quickly reached a kind of summit cross on a plateau.
Well

Which areas are suitable for a spontaneous Sunday hike - which of course should not be boring, preferably on not too well-known, ideally completely unknown paths, but of course should be accessible without a long journey - already resembles the all-too-well-known egg-laying woolly milk sow.

A special undertaking that is worthwhile in my eyes.

Late summer in the Schwarzbachtal: Of tree giants, hilltops and green meadows
The starting point at Café Groß-Ilbeck not only marks the beginning of this relaxed round through the valley floor, but is also an interesting cultural-historical note: Precisely here, the so-called Uerdinger line cuts through

A small, long-cherished personal dream destination: the traverse of the lonely, secluded rock ridge of the Engelsley!
Today, in the middle of one of the heatwaves of this extraordinary summer, I was granted it.
Particularly striking is its location. On my old hiking maps of the Ahr region, it is still

Hitzerunde von Esparron-de-Verdon
Tage im Hochsommer... Haute Provence, das Thermometer schwankt tagsüber so zwischen 33° und 37 °, nicht eben die angenehme Temperatur zum Wandern...alle Pläne zerfließen wie die Butter auf dem Frühstückstisch...
Schwimmen, kajaken oK., aber wandern und das oft ohne Schatten, absolut grenzwertig!
Irgendwann dann die kleine Lösung: einfach losgehen, vom…

A small challenge at 36° in the shade. But well worth the effort.
Some rare animal species live here due to the favorable conditions: the Rock Dove, i.e. the original species of Rock Dove from which all modern city pigeons descend. The photo likely shows such a Rock Dove.
We also saw some Crag Martins

On the 3rd and final day of our stay in Luxembourg, we scheduled a visit to the "Wolfsschlucht" (Wolf's Gorge).
The hiking trail starts near Echternach, offers a compact impression of the spectacular rock landscape of the Luxembourgish Switzerland, and is part of the long-distance hiking trail.

A city exploration of a small but unusually versatile town.
Mainly situated on a plateau, it is traversed by the deeply incised gorge of the Alzette.
Down in the gorge lie parts of the old town, aptly named "Grund"!
Much of the climbing stairs is nowadays significantly reduced by the installation of three

Although we only had the evening, the atmosphere of the old port city enchanted us immediately. At the Vieux Bassin, we were greeted
