    2025-12-31➾2026-01-01 G&U☞ "Jahreswechsel am Wasserturm-Essen in Flammen!" 4+4km/110hm

    Wetterbedingt bleiben wir an diesem Silvester daheim, verwirklichen aber den alten Plan, zum Jahreswechsel an "unserem" Wasserturm auf der Düschenhofer Höhe zu stehen und "Essen in Flammen" zu sehen. Nicht nur in diesen kriegerischen Zeiten sehen und hören wir das Spektakel allerdings mit gemischten Gefühlen. Weit vor der Zeit begleitet uns auf unserer kleinen Nachtwanderung der Lärm der Böller und Raketen. Als neben uns verwirrte, Schutz suchende Tauben auf den eisglatten Ästen abrutschen und durch die Bäume fallen, wird die Unverträglichkeit des Geballers für die Umwelt überdeutlich. Aufpassen heißt es, wann immer wir eine knallfreudige Truppe passieren müssen, noch im Ort wirft man Böller hinter uns her, auf dem Rückweg schießen Feiernde eine Batterie Raketen rücklings über uns hinweg, sodass wir uns wie verfolgt fühlen. In die ruhige, hier unbesiedelte Turmstraße eingebogen, liegen wir uns erleichtert in den Armen, lachen und verschwinden in der stillen Dunkelheit, weitere brisante Hotspots umwandernd gelangen wir gegen halb zwei nach Hause. Trotz kritischen Blicks ein feines kleines, gemeinsames Abenteuer in der Nacht. Danke schön! © Text/Bildslueart/BildUrsula

      Due to the weather, we're staying home this New Year's Eve, but we're still carrying out our old plan to stand at "our" water tower on Düschenhofer Höhe to watch "Essen in Flames

    Heute mal zu zweit die Brötchen einkaufen, anschließend eine kleine Erweiterung über die Worringstraße hinab ins Ruhrtal, eine zweite kleine Erweiterung führt uns zur Horster Brücke, von dort wandern wir am Fluss entlang zurück. Nach einer kleinen Bankrast am Ufer setzt der Regen ein, wir werden nass. Tangiert uns nicht weiter, zwei Kilometer weiter sind wir daheim im Trocknen. Bedankt für diesen spontanen gemeinsamen Sonntagslauf.

      Today, we went to buy bread rolls together, then took a short detour down Worringstraße into the Ruhr Valley. A second short detour led us to the Horster Bridge, from where we hiked back along the river.

      

      After a short rest on a bench by the riverbank, the rain started, and we got wet. It didn't bother

      Our last day in St. Maries.

      A grand spectacle outside our windows: the Fete du Cheval (Cheval Festival). Today, it's all about horses and riders. We watch for a while from our prominent spots, then turn our backs on the hustle and bustle and head out to the Plage Sauvage beach in the east of town for

      Hike to the Plage sauvage à l'est, further than before, further than fifty years ago, still not far enough. Next time, I'll hike even further along the magnificent, seemingly endless sandy beach of St. Maries.

      And right in the middle of it, today's sunshine was enough for a quick swim.

      Birds as far as the eye can see on the circular hike through the Pont du Gau Ornithological Park, followed by a hike through the "Little Camargue" near St. Maries.

      We'll let the pictures do the talking.

      Today, the time is finally ripe for Les-Saintes-Maries; it's quieter now, and before the day-trippers arrive, we find ourselves on the roof of the fortified church.

      A unique experience, exciting, and with a fabulous view.

      Our tour around the pond was wonderful and very interesting.

      We rented super e-bikes from a Gut&Teuer brand, and that was a smart move, because with the often strong headwinds, the kilometers would have been a tough slog.

      But it was perfect; the pictures testify to a fulfilling day.

      Thanks.

      After yesterday's thunderstorms, the sun is shining again today, but the air is noticeably cooler, and a fresh wind is blowing from the west.
