Today, on Ira's mother's birthday, we escaped the inversion weather in the Rhine plain: out of the damp, cold, dark fog 🌁 and up the mountain to a bit of sunshine. ☀️
Given the partially icy paths, we took a leisurely hike from Brend to the Martinskapelle chapel and the source of the Breg river, and back.
It was lovely! 👌

After some time away, we're back with another hike, this time a winter one. 😅
From Hinterzarten train station, we hiked past the ski jump to the frozen Titisee. Despite the snow, nobody was jumping. 🤷♂️
We finished our hike at Titisee with a cold (or rather, a hot) drink. The cold drink didn't get warm

Today, together with friends, we walked from Todtnau over the Feldberg summit down to the Feldsee lake and from there to Feldberg village. We parked the car there in the morning and took the bus to Todtnau.
The weather was better than forecast, so the sun ☀️ beautifully showcased the autumn colors

We were in the Carpathians with our Ukrainian friends and wanted to go for a short hike there. However, there are few hiking trails, so we decided to try our luck.
A farm track that was initially wide became increasingly overgrown, and after a large dog leaped out of the undergrowth to meet us, we decided

We went back to Lviv, Freiburg's twin city in Ukraine 🇺🇦, for a few days to visit friends. Given the significant increase in air raids, even in western Ukraine, our friends reminded us that we absolutely have to go down to the ground floor in case of an air raid warning (there's no basement).

Today, Marcus hiked alone from the Oberried-Hintertal bus stop across the Feldberg to the Feldberger Hof bus stop. The ascent via the Oberried Felsenweg (rock path) was particularly beautiful.
The trail then led via the Stollenbacher Hut, which was a bit busier because of its large parking lot. Perhaps

This morning, we headed to the summit of the Belchen (1,414 m) for sunrise and breakfast. We started at the parking lot of the Belchen valley station (approx. 1,100 m) and then hiked the approximately 5 km up the former Belchen road, which was largely well-lit by the half-moon.
Sunrise was at 6:24 a.m

Given the unstable weather conditions (possible storms) and the late start time (midday), we ran the loop through the Kaiserstuhl more quickly than originally planned, and also shortened it by 4 km (no detour via Mondhalde).
The Kaiserstuhl is always worth a visit, as long as it's not too hot.

With Marcus's godson, we drove to the Grand Ballon in the Vosges Mountains, which offers a magnificent view of the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine plain. The 14-year-old was thrilled by the view, the narrow paths, and the Lac du Ballon. 🤩

With GPS on your mobile phone and a hiking app, it's easy to find your way around nature. Who was the last person to actually use a hiking map and, if needed, a compass?
We recently laminated our now outdated 2006 hiking map so we could sketch the route with a water-soluble pen. Of course, this only works
