If I ever said I didn't like Frankfurt, I take it back completely. This city, in all its diversity, is anything but boring or even ugly, as I actually used to think.

With another @FAZ hiking tip, I'm entering the final stretch of my wonderfully non-stop hiking year. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll tackle the last stage of the Camino de Santiago in sunshine, followed by a hike close to home on New Year's Eve, and then it's off to the next round.

The hiking year 2026 begins with a wintery border walk in the forest solitude of my happy community in the Taunus mountains, extending to just before Dietenhausen, which already belongs to Limburg-Weilburg – a first “movement therapy measure” on my doorstep, which will hopefully be followed by many more
