This winter is challenging. At least for me. I have winter boots that have gathered dust, and crampons I don't even remember when I bought them. Both are currently getting heavy use. The boots are 20 years old, handmade in Pirmasens, and I haven't worn them in a very, very long time. I must have bought

Two months ago, we hiked through the Thulba Valley. One of the most beautiful hikes in a long time. Now there's a sequel, which @Söhni 🏃 (thanks, dear Reimund) pointed me to. The new Thulba-Saale Valley Panorama Trail, opened in May of this year, runs between Untererthal and Thulba, mostly near the

We begin our short walk through Bad Brückenau in the state spa, which is a separate district. It belongs to the Free State of Bavaria, which leases the properties to clinics and hotels.
Our first glance is directed at the monumental Kursaal building, built during the reign of Ludwig I of Bavaria. The

Wir haben uns mit @Burkhard und @Uli72 in Hitzacker verabredet, die es sogar geschafft haben, ein Zimmer im Hotel Waldfrieden zu bekommen, dem Haus, in dem auch @Arno Schmidt und seine Frau Alice mehrfach abstiegen. So auch 1969, als sie anläßlich ihres 32. Hochzeitstages mit dem (noch) befreundetem

We always drive past Hammelburg. Between our hikes, we wanted to see the town for a change, rather than just skimming through it. A few months ago, @Söhni 🏃 hiked Hammelburg, and we're using his hike as a model (thanks, dear Reimund). The town center and Heroldsberg are the highlights of this short

Today we've chosen the Hammelburg Rhön Circular Trail 5, the Saale Bridge Trail. You cross the Saale River twice, in Morlesau and in Diebach. We start right from our accommodation in Neumühle. A hike without a drive isn't something you often get.
At first, it's a steady uphill climb towards Waizenbach

Three years ago, we ended up in the Rhön by chance. We really liked it there, so we found our way back to Hammelburg. We live right on the Franconian Saale, and the sound of the river is a wonderful background, even at night with the window open.
Finding hiking tours in the Rhön is child's play. You can

We drove to the Osnabrück region to hike on one of the beautiful TERRA.tracks. We chose the "TERRA.track Wacholderhain" because we wanted to see what a heath area outside the Lüneburg Heath looks like. But more on the Wacholderhain later. We extended the planned route because the path was too short for

It could have been in Augsburg, or in Mainz or in Frankfurt. Maybe even in the Netherlands. There are several hundred places where the Varus Battle may have taken place in 9 AD. Most of them are in northern Germany, however, and the most likely place is Kalkriese, near Bramsche in the Osnabrück region

Bad Zwischenahn. If my mother hadn't gone to a hospital in Oldenburg when I was born, it would have been my birthplace. The family lived there at the time, and later in Westerstede. But people still drove to Bad Zwischenahn to stroll around the lake on Sundays.
We didn't want to stroll yesterday, we wanted

The weather was so half-baked that it just couldn't decide which way to go. It was different for us. We felt the temptation of the monastery and undauntedly set off for Loccum.
I was in Hohenlohe and had the friendly cashier at the car museum explain to me the family ties between the House of Hohenlohe

This morning the weather was changeable. It actually got better and better, so we set off for a hike around Langenburg in the late morning.
But rain is a tricky thing. We had of course looked at the rain radar, knowing that it was an invention of weather forecasters who you can trust - or not. But you

After visiting Bad Brückenau a few months ago, we were drawn to Bad Kissingen this time. It is a traditional spa town in Lower Franconia on the Franconian Saale. It is considered one of the most famous spa resorts in Germany.
The weather was unfortunately not at all in our favor. Even though it remained
