The only bright spot in this week's weather was Friday morning. Since a good 10 cm of snow had fallen that day, it shouldn't be a stage with a high risk of slipping. So, a city stage seemed best. However, Munich and Ulm were forecast to be heavily overcast, with breaks in the clouds mostly to the north

The weather is really making things difficult this winter, but there's always a break in the weather. It was supposed to improve from midday onwards, although the "improvement" had diminished considerably over the past few days, but still. This leg of the journey offered the first decent public transport

Appointments, unsuitable weather, and a cold kept me waiting a week and a half for my next leg of the journey. The search was only successful on the third attempt. Even on this day, clear weather was elusive; this seemed the best place to start. I had wanted to do this leg in the autumn, but the only

Auf der Suche nach einer passenden Etappe für das Zeitfenster an diesem Tag bin ich mal wieder in der Oberpfalz gelandet, wohl wissend, dass dort mehr Winter war und vermutlich sein wird. Alle Bedenken beiseite geschoben, mich an den wenigen Höhenmetern, der moderaten Distanz und der guten Öffisverbindung

The snowfall from Monday had a lasting effect all week. It wasn't really possible to complete normal stages, at least not for me. The conditions were most likely to improve in a city. Since the window of opportunity was rather small and the weather wasn't the best, I remembered the missed opportunity

Auch an diesem Tag war nicht ganz klar, wohin die Reise gehen sollte. Die Kälte war geblieben, aber es würde eher trübes Wetter geben. Wetter.com hatte für diese Etappe ursprünglich ab 14 Uhr Schnee vorhergesagt. Die Suche nach einer Alternative brachte auch immer kein eindeutiges Ergebnis, so dass ich

If you don't do thorough research and don't trust your instincts, but instead think, "It'll be fine," then you end up making a second trip to a stage only to find yourself without completing it. I wanted to do the one from Kastl to Stieglitzenhöhe. I abandoned it when I left the A6 near Lauterhofen

Dieser Winter hat es in sich. In der Nacht fast 10 Grad minus, am Tag Dauerfrost gemeldet, aber mit schönem Wetter, so zumindest gestern der Wetterbericht. Gut, dass ich am Morgen nicht mehr danach geschaut habe, sonst wäre ich vielleicht gar nicht losgefahren. Aber der Rufbus war ja auch bestellt, also

I don't particularly like it when I don't know the day before which stage I'll be hiking the next day and it's not prepared. The icy trails of the last stages definitely instilled some respect in me, so I still want to do less elevation gain. The time window was too small for Munich, Ulm, or the Tauber

I had briefly considered Munich as the next leg of my journey for today, but the weather forecast predicted persistent fog in the state capital, so that was out of the question. While searching for an alternative, the Tauber Valley route was also ruled out; the connections on Sundays are simply too infrequent
