This afternoon I finally had time to hike a circular trail that had been on my to-do list for a while. If I had to describe the LahnWeinStieg trail: It's a relatively short distance with narrow, rough paths and a significant amount of elevation gain. This trail is definitely not for beginners. I'm usually

The travel time for today's hike was reasonable this time. If you live in Koblenz, this place is practically next door. Today I took it a bit easier. For this relatively simple hike, I left my hiking gear on my backpack. The only problem, as on my last few hikes, was the muddy trails. Compared to yesterday

Today I boarded the RE1 regional train at Koblenz main station and got off in Schweich to hike the Moselsteig side trail there. When I hiked the Galgenkopf loop trail a week ago, it was still quite foggy in the region. On today's hike, it was lightly raining. However, that wasn't a reason for me to skip

This afternoon I had some time for a short walk. I'd like to share my opinion of this circular hiking trail upfront: While I did enjoy some nice views, the route was mostly on asphalt. According to the GPS track, I should have turned right onto a dirt road after about 6.6 kilometers. However, a directional

Yesterday's Galgenkopf loop hike near Trier was completely foggy. This weather pattern continued on today's hike. Of course, I find walking through the fog quite atmospheric. However, it would have

This morning I departed from Koblenz Central Station at 9:06 a.m. towards Trier. Unlike previous times, I didn't change trains there to reach a hiking trail. From Trier Central Station, I took bus line 88 to the starting point of my planned hike. The Tarforst, An der Mäswiese stop is about a 20-minute

Some trails you've hiked before are definitely worth revisiting, especially if it's been a few years since your last hike. I last hiked the historic Roman and Celtic trail in early March 2022. It feels like ages ago.

Who hasn't experienced this problem? You have more ideas than time to hike those trails still on your bucket list. The Fürstenweg trail had been on my to-do list for months. With my dreaded full-time job looming, I had to decide when to do which hikes. For me, it's a fine line: financing the very thing

Let's start with something seemingly unimportant: the numbers! When I'm planning hikes and pilgrimages, I naturally keep an eye on them to gauge my progress. That's why I also occasionally check what I've accomplished. Of course, I'm quite proud that this year I not only surpassed my 7,000 km, 8,000
