Max Volker

Wir - Volker & Helga - sind in unserer Freizeit am liebsten draußen unterwegs und erkunden dabei die nähere und weitere Umgebung zu Fuß oder mit dem E-Bike. Zwischendurch gibt es immer mal wieder eine Jungstour zusammen mit meinem best Buddy Julius.

Zeitlich bedingt ist es meistens die nähere Umgebung (Landkreis Amberg-Sulzbach), in der wir unterwegs sind. Die Landschaft im Landkreis wartet nicht mit spektakulären Highlights auf. Vielmehr besticht sie durch die Ruhe, die man in ihr fernab der Touristenströme finden kann.
Und gerade darin liegt für mich derzeit der Reiz beim Fotografieren. Mein Anliegen ist es bei meinen bzw. unseren Wanderungen, die Schönheit dieser ruhigen Landschaft im Wandel der Jahreszeiten mit meine Olympus oder OM-System fotografisch zu erfassen.
Bei unseren Urlaubsreisen versuchen wir einen Mix aus Urbanität mit kulturellem Angebot und Naturerlebnis zu realisieren,


Wir zeichnen unsere üblichen abendlichen Runden in und um Vilseck nicht auf - wir teilen lieber unsere Neuentdeckungen mit euch.

Since Helga has a week off, we took a trip to the Bavarian Forest Nature Park to observe animals. After all, the holidays in Bavaria haven't started yet.



But we hadn't reckoned with the noisy school classes that were out and about in the last week before the holidays. So there was nothing of the longed

Today I was out with the photo club and the butterfly expert and nature photographer Richard Nürnberger. Our goal was to photograph butterflies in the meadows above

After the much-needed rain of the past few days, I went out again to capture the mood of the approaching night with the transition from the golden hour to the blue hour.

As a crowning and magical end to the tour, there were even a few fireflies 🍀

On Pentecost, I saw a black stork on the edge of the Grafenwöhr training area during an excursion. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me and the distance was too great to take a photo. I was all the more pleased when saw a black stork several times in the Lauterachtal valley a little later

Yesterday, we went hiking with some Komoot users again.



With ideal hiking weather, we embarked on an extremely entertaining and varied hike, during which time flew by. The route mostly follows natural hiking trails, which, unlike our test hike in February, were easy to walk. Even the few harvester tracks

Yesterday was a premiere for me: I went with the photo club on an excursion to Lauterhofen.



It was a leisurely stroll with good conversations and a cozy stop to replenish fluids in the decidedly warm weather. Of course, photos were also taken 😋



Until now, I only knew Lauterhofen from driving through

The exhibition is something for everyone who wants to immerse themselves in a wonderful, colorful world of pictures full of joie de vivre, love, peace and togetherness

After enjoying the evening atmosphere in the Rußweiher area a few weeks ago, we were drawn here early in the morning on Corpus Christi.



In the meantime, the black-headed gulls have found their way to the Rußweiher and there has been offspring everywhere. But the plant world also shows a changed picture

Today, after almost a year, we went to Kammerweiher again. The goal wasn't to cover as much distance as possible, but simply to have a good time in the morning amidst pristine nature.



So we set off quite early. Already on the way there, we saw some fog banks lying in the hollows. We were therefore curious

The last day of our stay in Aschaffenburg was actually rainy. We tried to explore Schöntalpark twice, but were forced to turn back by heavy downpours. So we had a cozy breakfast and chilled a bit.



After a delicious dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary, the rain had actually stopped. We seized the

The project also includes the settlement of Przewalski's horses. The horses are the original form of today

Since bird watching and bird songs have been a recurring topic on recent hikes, we downloaded the free Merlin Bird ID app before the tour. We tried it out in the Seitenbachschlucht gorge and not only there. Indeed, we were amazed at how many birds were around. In the wild and romantic Seitenbachschlucht

Unfortunately, Komoot and/or I did not record the tour through Miltenberg. So I recapitulated the tour and assigned the photos to the individual locations as best as
