Rhein-/Moseltour: Koblenz - Deutsches Eck - Winningen
Heute ging es einmal durch die Innenstadt in Koblenz bis zum, leider wg. Bauarbeiten, verhüllten Kurfürstlichen Schloss und dann am Rhein entlang, mit Blick auf die gewaltige Festung Ehrenbreitstein, bis zum Deutschen Eck mit Kaiser-Wilhelm-Mahnmal! Und dann an der Mosel entlang mit enorm steilen Weinhängen und vermutlich akrobatischer Weinlese im…

Rheintour: Leutesdorf - Neuwied
Die heutige Tour führte anfänglich über idyllische Wege des Rheinsteiges mit herrlichen Ausblicken auf Andernach und danach durch die ersten Vororte und schliesslich wieder direkt am Rhein entlang bis nach Neuwied. Ein Abstecher zu meiner ersten berufsbedingten Wohnung vor 41 Jahren war auch dabei 🤗

Rheintour: Rhöndorf, Linz - Bad Hönningen
Heute Morgen ging’s los, im schönsten Sonnenschein, um Konrad Adenauers Villa im schicken Rhöndorf, mit Blick auf den Drachenfelsen, zu besuchen! Schon die dortige Ausstellung ist sehr interessant, aber die mittägliche Führung beschrieb noch mehr seine Erlebnisse und vor allem Errungenschaften, in hellen und ganz dunklen Zeiten. Echt lohnenswert, nicht…

Die heutige Tour startete nach einem kleinen Regenschauer in Widdig, entlang an einem idyllischen Abschnitt des Rhein bis Bonn bzw. Bad Godesberg mit prächtiger Promenade und großen Villen, vorbei am ehemaligen Bundestag und heutigen UN-Gebäuden mit Blick auf den Petersberg und weiter südlich auf den Drachenfels! Mit der Rheinfähre ging…

Linksrheinischer Jakobsweg: Köln - Widdig
Meine heutige Tour startete im, bereits morgens quirligen, Severins-Veedel und führte direkt zur asphaltierten Promenade, entlang am Rhein, bei traumhaftem Wanderwetter, bis Rodenkirchen und an Chemie- und Raffineriebetrieben in Wesseling entlang bis zu meinem heutigen Ziel in Widdig.

A beautiful tour in perfect hiking weather, starting at the Uhudler rest area, along cornfields and ponds to the Hubertus Chapel and the children's herb trail with orchards!

The final leg of this tour went from Altenberg along the Dhün River, with a view of the church in Odenthal, and then, also along the road, through Schildgen. To avoid the monotonous walk through the suburban residential areas of a big city, I spontaneously committed the outrage of taking a tram for a

Today, I first walked along the road in Lennep and then into the forest, past the warning Stone Cross from 1554, to the Eschbach Dam, and then to the tranquil town of Wermelskirchen! I waited out the rain shower there with a double espresso to keep me motivated. Afterwards, I continued along beautiful

As a more Scandinavian type, I started very early in Beyenburg, given today's temperatures! The route continued along the Wupper River and then, today, more on paved field paths than forest paths to Lennep. One of the most beautiful and oldest towns with city rights in the Bergisches Land region and

After an early start in Gevelsberg, I hiked along beautiful paths through forests, sunny fields, past Haus Martfeld, through the tranquil Schwelm town center, and finally to the idyllic Beyenburg! There, at my crossing of the Wupper, the Westphalian Way of St. James ended and merged with the Rhineland

Let me say it right away: As a flatlander, I could already feel the beginning of the Bergisches Land 😉
My tour today started in tranquil Herdecke, continued over Hengsteysee, up Kaisberg with the Freiherr-vom-Stein Tower, over the bridge at the large marshalling yard in Vorhalle, and mostly through wooded

Hiking along Phoenix Lake in the morning sun was already a great start to today's stage. After reaching the Way of St. James early, the well-signposted trail led me through quiet residential areas, fields, and mostly through forests, in bright sunshine, to Hohensyburg Castle with its wonderful views

On today's and my final hometown tour, I started at Ruhr University and walked through several districts of Bochum, Witten, and Dortmund, approaching the Rose Terraces, the Westfalenhalle, and the BVB Stadium. I strolled along the formerly more beautiful Westen-/Ostenhellweg and got my stamp for the
