Today's hike led from Höhr-Grenzhausen to the Köppel and back again. The circular hiking trail can also be walked well without navigation, as it is relatively well signposted. The white lettering KP1 on a red background shows the way. This hiking trail has not made it into my personal top ten in the

Frogs were my final boss last night. I felt like I only got four hours of sleep at the campsite in Remagen. Those who know the all-too-popular snoring rooms in the pilgrim hostels on the Camino de Santiago will unfortunately be disappointed. It can be worse. The frogs probably thought: Let's annoy the

My route today took me along familiar paths from Rheinbrohl to Remagen. For me, there was nothing new to discover. With beautiful hiking weather, the tour to the next campsite was still worth it.

The campsite where I stayed last night was in a pretty bad dead zone. For this reason, I couldn't edit the tour yesterday.

I extended the long weekend by one day. Today it went from Mayen to the Laacher See. I quickly set up my trekking tent at the campsite there. Let's see where it takes me tomorrow.

Personally, I marked the tour with three question marks today. Started at the train station in Rheinbrohl, I took the train from the Rheinsteig to get to my planned tour. However, it took a while until I saw the trail marker for this tour for the first time. From my starting point, it must have been

Today, GPX–Studio was my friend again after a long time. On today's tour, I actually intended to pause the recording with Komoot due to a weather-related forced break. Due to my lack of concentration, I ended the navigation and had to restart it.
Apart from one rather heavy rain shower, the weather held

In the Verbandsgemeinde Wirges, I walked the circular hiking trail WR6 at the beginning of March. Although I didn't find this circular tour particularly beautiful, as it led predominantly through villages and on asphalt paths, I ventured out on the WR9 today and was positively surprised. This trail seems

Today was the last Geo-route in the Laacher See National Geopark. Usually, I'm not too precise when recording my tours with the Komoot app. However, today I didn't get the impression that the Komoot app was producing too much modern art. Maybe I was just lucky and had a good GPS signal for a longer period

After the last two tours on the Moselle, I found myself back in the Westerwald today. The circular hiking trail “Höhner Acht Hochsteinrunde” is a varied and quite easy tour, which is very well signposted. Navigation on this trail is optional and not necessary.
Information about the hike can be found at

For my tour today, I used a GPX file as a template, which I found on this website: moselregion.com/tour/rund-um-die-marienburg-ab-reil-1
I changed the start of the tour to Bullay during planning. I didn't feel like taking the train from Bullay towards Traben–Trabach to get to Reil.
Overall, I found the

In the best hiking weather, a short but beautiful round with the starting point in the wine village of Winningen was on the agenda today. Due to the public holiday, it was naturally quite busy outside and the search for a resting place for the lunch break proved rather difficult. However, if you are

Today we went to the Lahn again for a circular tour. Starting in Nassau, there are two options to approach the Kreuzeichen tour: either you use public transport and start at Nassau train station, or you use the free parking lot at the Nassau outdoor pool if you want to arrive by car.

Besides the WR6 and the WR9, I was out and about in the municipality of Wirges again today. The circular hiking trail WR11 is just as worthwhile as the WR9, relatively varied. In retrospect, I still cannot recommend the circular hiking trail WR6, as it leads too much through urban areas.
