Zacharias Zurbel ☮️

Althippie, einigermaßen jung geblieben. "Born in the Fifties". Die Liebe zum Wandern habe ich von meinem Großvater geerbt, der bis ins hohe Alter jeden Tag unterwegs war.

Goethe hat schönere Dinge über das Wandern gesagt, als mir je einfallen würden. Zum Beispiel:

"Die erhabene Sprache der Natur, die Töne der bedürftigen Menschheit lernt nur der Wanderer kennen. "

Oder: "Nur wo du zu Fuß warst, bist du auch wirklich gewesen."

Zum Radfahren hat er nichts gesagt. Dafür aber Mark Twain:
"Besorg Dir ein Fahrrad. Wenn Du lebst, wirst Du es nicht bereuen."

Recently I met up with my son Marco again for a hike. Marco has a certain affinity for larger cities, so this time it had to be Bremen. Keks stayed at home; he had had enough from yesterday's tour and doesn't find cities that great either.

Today, Keks and I went for a walk in the area quite spontaneously. On our tour, we passed three small rivers, all of which belong to the "inverted delta" of the Dümmer lake outflows. There are several outflows from Lake Dümmer that partially branch out further and then flow into the Hunte. On our way

Today, Keks and I didn't have much desire to complete the daily standard round (through the castle park, along the castle moat, through the Münte park to the town hall and back home).

In search of new paths, we headed for the train station. Something would surely be found there. If necessary, we could

Today, a visit to Mo's daughter, her husband, and the grandchildren was on the agenda again, and not for the first time, I wanted to combine it with a hike through this somewhat hillier area.



So, Keks and I got off one stop earlier to walk from Oesede over the Musenberg to Kloster Oesede. The path was

A few days ago Keks came to complain. He had recently acquired some lodgers, who not only paid no rent but, on the contrary, were literally sucking him dry. And he hadn't invited them either. A quick inspection revealed that they were Ctenocephalides canis, the common dog flea. And not just one...

The physiotherapist I trust works in Rehden. Since my appointment for the bus connection was very inconvenient, but the weather was quite good, I decided to go by bike.



So far, so good. Everything would have been

My humans sometimes have strange ideas. Today they came with a kind of mobile cave and showed it to me. I sniffed curiously, and when a treat then flew in from above into the back corner, I couldn't resist and jumped in.



Oops. The thing rocked dangerously. I got terribly scared and wanted to get out immediately

Finally rain! Our garden plants look quite relieved, only the lawn still looks a bit yellowish-pale. And the temperatures have also dropped so much that you no longer have to carry the heatstroke emergency kit when hiking. Time for a little trip to the gravel pit before dinner.

The Dümmer is actually fantastic, especially when you look westwards across the lake at sunset, but a few things didn't quite go smoothly on this tour. Besides, we took a look at how we definitely don't want to spend our holidays.



Essentially, we wanted to visit the organic shop in Hüde to redeem a shopping

That was completely off the mark. I had to realize afterwards that "Halali" is played not before, but after the hunt. Besides, you don't use a jew's harp for it, but a hunting horn...

Your "Brombeeren, fast ein Festival..." tour is not showing up for me at all, and when I click the link in the email, it says "Access denied". Maybe you accidentally set it to 'private'?
