About Max Volker
Meistens sind wir zu Fuß unterwegs und hin und wieder auch mit dem E-Bike.
Was bei mir nie fehlen darf, ist ein Gerät mit dem man Fotos machen kann; entweder meine Kamera oder zur Not das Telefon. Irgendwie gibt es am Wegesrand immer etwas interessantes zu entdecken.

Yesterday it was time again for a walk around Vilseck, capturing scenes that were new to me, or that looked completely different under a snowy, overcast sky than at other times of the year. Towards the end, with dusk falling, I almost needed a tripod – holding my breath and having a steady hand was essential

Yesterday at midday, after the clouds cleared, we set out again to find the water buffalo we hadn't seen on our last hike. This time, we simply followed the tracks of the hay loader used to feed them. We discovered that the pasture extends much deeper into the forest than we had originally thought. We

We didn't find what we were looking for. But we have an idea where to find it. So we'll have to head out again in the next few days.
In return, we found sunshine, moonlight, and blue skies on our scenic tour. It didn't even matter that a large part of the tour was on paved roads 😄😄

Yesterday, despite the foggy autumn weather, we went on another hike with the boys. This time, our destination was the Asam Loop starting in Ensdorf.
One of the highlights is, of course, the steps leading up to Eggenberg with its panoramic views and the pilgrimage church of the Fourteen Holy Helpers

Since the VGN day ticket is valid for both days on weekends, we took advantage of the opportunity yesterday, Sunday, and travelled by train from Vilseck to Freihung. From there, we hiked back to Vilseck under a milky sky and freezing temperatures. Towards the end of the hike, the sun even peeked out

Today Helge went for a walk in Freihung with her walking friend.
The idea for the walk came about when we were having ice cream at the Eisstüberl in Freihung last Sunday. Incidentally, it was very delicious, handcrafted ice cream made with natural ingredients and no chemicals.
So I planned a route for

Another boys' outing. This time, the autumnal atmosphere along the Naab River was the order of the day.
We started at the Höllohe Wildlife Park. Unlike my last visit earlier this week, animal photography wasn't on the agenda. So we quickly crossed the wildlife park and set off on our actual hike.

Since there's a supermoon, what could be better than experiencing it at my favorite spot above Vilseck? 🍀
I think the photos speak for themselves. 😄

I took advantage of yesterday's sunny autumn afternoon, during the golden and blue hours, to visit the Höllohe Wildlife Park. However, I wasn't alone in this idea. The park was quite busy. The autumn school holidays and the beautiful weather certainly played a part.
Nevertheless, it was a great pleasure

Today we wanted to enjoy the winter landscape in the sunshine. We were also looking for a panoramic view. So we headed out to the Rödlas observation tower.
The drive was worthwhile just for the view from the tower across the winter landscape all the way to the Fichtel Mountains. But there were also a
