Today the stage took place with initially cool, then later very warm temperatures, on the cycle and foot path along the Rio Minho to Vila Nova de Ceveira. On the other side of the river, Spain was always in view.

For each stage I've run, I'll only add a photo from the beginning and the end, and not a detailed description as usual. This will be done when I get home. Therefore, don't be surprised if I don't give any likes or comments until then. It's a bit difficult for me on the "Mäusekino" mobile phone due to my age.

Today I wasn't in the mood for climbs, but I still sweated profusely. From the old town of Bensheim, where the annual wine festival is currently taking place, I first went past the train station on the heavily trafficked Schwanheimer Straße through the western district with various shops, as well as

Today, my friend Thomas and I wanted to go to the Michaelismesse in Miltenberg. But first, we had to earn the pleasure. From the Staffelbrunserbrunnen, we first went downstream on the combined hiking and cycling path to the Main bridge near Kleinheubach. We walked across it for what felt like an endless

After having been at the Alteburger Markt a few years ago for the last time, I took the last opportunity this year today. It takes place three times a year, always on the Thursday after Pentecost, Jakobus, and Bartholomäus, and is considered one of the oldest markets in Germany. Approx. 300 stalls offer

Today I was on a tour with friends to Reichelsheim for the Michelsmarkt. From the parking lot "Am Michelbacher Tal" in Fränkisch-Crumbach, we first went up to Burg Rodenstein, which I had already visited recently. Of the three of us, my friend is the only one born and raised in the Odenwald and had never

After a week-long break due to heat, it was pleasant to walk again today and bearable even in the sunny sections thanks to the cool wind. What was noticeable, of course, is the massive dryness that can no longer be overlooked. The usually lush green is brown, the paths are dusty, the grass is prickly

Before heading home again tomorrow, I was out today for a final tour on the Muttersberg near Bludenz.
I only realized this evening after analyzing my recording that it had become the longest tour of all.
Initially, we took the cable car up to the Muttersberg. The destination was the Fraßenhütte (1725m

For me, every summer stay in the Großer Walsertal includes the delicious mountain breakfast at Alpe Steris (1440m) at the foot of the Kellaspitze (20017m), which takes place there once a week until autumn. Everything there is homemade and there is a large selection of bread, cheese, jam, ham, dairy products

Today the weather was mixed at the beginning and for a large part of my tour, but dry. Compared to the last few days, it was still very cool, which was ideal for walking. Only when riding the Uga Express was it too cold for me and I was a bit chilly.
From the mountain station, I had often walked back

After a quickly passing deterioration of the weather, it was still changeable today, not suitable for high mountain tours, but definitely for going out.
This hike can be done in any weather and also with children. There is a large parking lot at the village railway in Brand. After a short stretch towards

Even before my first Camino in Spain in 2022, I had started the Way of St. James from Vorarlberg to Einsiedeln in Switzerland and hiked a stage during each stay in the Großer Walsertal. Each time, my motivation to walk the Spanish Camino increased.
Actually, the Way of St. James begins in Innsbruck

Today I continued along the Rio Minho to Valença. Although I started later than I could have due to a late breakfast at my accommodation, it was still a dream stage through the autumnal oak forests. No inclines, far from traffic noise, just nature and very few pilgrims made my heart soar. The contrast
