From Wehr in the Black Forest, we traveled by bus 🚌 and train 🚉 to Basel in Switzerland 🇨🇭, as we had booked a direct train home to the Rhineland from there. However, there was still time for a short city tour. We left Basel Badischer Bahnhof, walked through less scenic streets, crossed the trade

Finale! 🙌 All that we had climbed yesterday, we could simply walk down today. However, we chose a different path than the day before and thus cheated a bit regarding the route guidance of the Schluchtensteig. Strictly speaking, we missed the section between the Wehra reservoir and the chapel in Wehr

After the merry evening in the WOMO-Stüble, getting up early was quite difficult 😰, but there was no other choice, a long stage lay ahead of us. We had breakfast at Edeka and then left Todtmoos in a southerly direction. To wake us up, it immediately went uphill a bit. We crossed the village of Schwarzenbach

Today it got a bit more intense again. 💪 So we got up early, packed up the tent, and set off straight away. We wanted to have breakfast in St. Blasien. To wake up and warm up, we first went downhill, through the pretty Windberg gorge with a waterfall and everything that goes with it. 🥾

After our oh-so-quiet rest day, there was no particularly long stage planned for our re-entry into the Schluchtensteig. 😎 It was supposed to go as far as just before St. Blasien, because the next trekking camp was waiting for us there. ⛺️
The first 5 kilometers were flat and led largely along wide forest

Today we're taking a day off - but only from the Schluchtensteig! 😅 Instead, we went on the "Jägersteig" pleasure trail. Conveniently, it led directly past the Naturcamping site, so we could start right away. 👌
After the thunderstorm ⛈️ and heavy rain the evening before (the small tent ⛺️ held up

We left the beautiful trekking campsite 🏕️ at the former outdoor swimming pool and, to warm up, first walked slightly downhill to the rock Räuberschlössle. 🪨 Even after that, it continued without significant ups and downs, mostly through shady forest 🌳 and over pretty paths, with the Wutach to our

It wasn't long before it started to rain 🌧️. Fortunately, it stopped when we arrived

Finally, we went on a multi-day hiking adventure again. 🤩 Since we "had" to travel south anyway due to a celebration, we decided to add a week and hike the Schluchtensteig in the Black Forest. Good idea! With a tent ⛺️ in our luggage 🎒, we set off on Sunday from the pretty campsite on the Wutach in

Today we were too lazy to drive anywhere. 🤷♀️ Since we still wanted to go for a spin, we simply circled the next Düsseldorf district on my list: Golzheim. 🥾
Golzheim borders the Rhine to the west, so a good third of the route ran nicely along the water 💦. Since the best things often come last, we

The Rothaarsteig, exactly, there was something else! 😅 Pentecost was perfect to tackle the next three stages after a two-year "break", because we wanted to hike them with a tent 🏕 and for that the weather forecast was naturally perfect. By train 🚉 and bus 🚌 we went to Winterfeld and then, after a

Due to the high temperatures 🌡️, we had chosen a tour for today's Sunday with plenty of shade and without significant altitude gain. 👀 We found what we were looking for in the Hohe Mark Nature Park and started the hike at the Wesel-Feldmark train station. 🚉
We walked straight towards the Auesee lake
