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

Or: Through the streams and rivers near Primstal.
At reservoirs, you know those information boards that tell you how many billions of cubic meters of water they contain? We waded through billions of those today. No kidding. We did recognize that the waters we bravely battled our way through were originally

Every year the same old story: You wake up and another year has passed. Through no fault of your own, the number of years you've lived has increased by one. And you wonder more and more how long this will go on.
Luckily, there are family and friends who do their best to brighten your day. There's delicious

If it depended solely on light and color, today would have been a gray and dreary day. But what's much more important to us is what's going on inside. And I have to say: in our hearts, it was bright and colorful.
We were so happy at the start that, after a very long time, K👧 and M🧒, who had recovered

It was quite cold again today, but the good thing is: we've gotten used to it by now. You still shiver a bit for the first few meters. Then your body heats up, and breathing the cold air feels normal. And you're glad there aren't any mosquitoes buzzing around your face.
Unfortunately, the snack break

The Itzenplitz Pond occasionally makes the news. That's when the locals, known for their love of swimming, welcome the New Year with a dip in the icy water. We didn't have to freeze like them today, but it was still quite cold under the foggy gray sky. Besides my dear U👧, N👧 and her son F🧒 were with

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
