Recently we were hiking near the Valentinskapelle, when the signpost to the Wildfrauenhöhle caught my son F's eye. We left the cave to the left back then and had an open score ever since. It was clear that we had to plan the cave into some tour at some point. Today was the day. So we all trudged down

As usual, I had designed the tour freely, meaning I hadn't planned to follow a pre-made hiking trail. But when I finished the route, I realized that it corresponded to the Niedtal-Rundwanderweg by 99%. This can be interpreted one way or another. I'm staying completely out of it.
In any case, it's beautiful

The most beautiful thing first: we were finally out and about with several people again. C🐕 had brought N👧 along, who still hasn't completely gotten over her foot problems, but gritted her teeth and bravely stayed until the end. Yesterday, I had been with J👧 and U🧒 until after midnight because of

The Georgi-Panoramaweg - as I could imagine - is named after Georgi Panorama, a legendary East Bothnian hiking friend,
an internationally little to not at all noticed author of unillustrated hiking guides with a focus on "Forested regions, especially sparsely populated ones". The small circle of connoisseurs

Alternative title of this tour: Weeping willows in Val-de-Guéblange. I didn't take that one. It seemed too operatic to me. And in its sad tone, it wouldn't have fit the overall impression of our hike. We weren't sad at all. We always love being in Lorraine. And today was no different.
Initially, there

Actually, I don't know anything about Spain or its flowers, which are the subject of the evergreen (!) with the beginning of the text above. But I know that you don't have to go far from home to experience lush green growth.
On our tour today from Lautenbach, circling Breitenbach, we were fascinated by

The title of the day before yesterday's tour included the words "no strength" and I had no idea what I was causing. Since then, I've been inundated with get-well wishes from all sides. My heartfelt thanks go out to all my concerned friends here as well. But don't worry too much: first and foremost, it

No, today is Friday, not Sunday. The flawed thinking has been bothering me since I got up. It's May 1st, the day that nature and peace-loving hikers dread. Because then all those come out who you don't normally encounter here: large groups of young people, loud music, and more than enough drinks are

The official title of this tour is different, but it is quite unsightly. It has to do with the ever-lengthening list of ailments of the guide and followers, with everything imaginable occurring, from the heart to the feet.
So let's concentrate on the essentials: we visit the Lotharingian stork village

The start time was agreed for 10:20 AM, but it was 10:22 AM when we finally set off. However, this inaccuracy was the only thing that could have been criticized in the end. Everything else was perfectly fine, and more than that. Surprisingly early, N👧 was heard to offer rare praise: this was a really

In the first draft, the title of this tour still contained the words "Keller Stausee" and "Schillinger Panoramaweg". But it seemed too bulky to me. Anyway. You often only realize what you have in the people around you when they are gone. You hear that often and it's true (unlike other things you hear

"Once the worm starts..." That's how he left off, the man who was supposed to pave our yard during the week but couldn't get the stones to work.
But the worm was far from over, especially with regard to this hike. First, not a single one of my followers accepted the invitation ("not feeling well," "somewhere

We've hiked almost this exact route before: a self-made combination of a diamond cutter's tour, a Ritter-Gerin tour, and a dash of "Jewish culture." We were even in the same group: K, my ever-willing follower M, the ever-faithful U, and me. That must have been last September. Consequently, we didn't

We've actually never hiked on stilts before. But today, during our hike, a discussion arose about the pros and cons of stilt-walking. The majority of us were against it. Only my usually willing follower, M🧒, was in favor. He even had a demo photo with him, showing him on stilts – albeit taken in a living

In the past - it is said - people used to meet at the village well or in the local corner shop. In times like these, with unending heat and drought, everyone meets in the forest. We always found it beautiful there and often wondered when we encountered no soul on the most wonderful paths. That is now
