After a long time, I found myself back in the Schupfer Forest and the surrounding meadows this afternoon.
The familiar paths and the glorious weather practically begged me to experiment a bit with light and shadow and the sun, and to play around with photography... 🌞📸

After driving from sunny Nuremberg deep into the foggy gray of the Amberg-Sulzbach region yesterday, I thought it best to stay close to the border today. 😄 It was truly surprising when, as I approached Hartmannshof, the last village in Franconia, the first fog appeared over the valley... Luckily, Weigendorf

While the morning was gray and foggy, the sun came out at midday and bathed the landscape in glorious light.
And me? I drove back to the Amberg-Sulzbach region and into the fog again... Although my weather app had predicted sunshine for Vilseck today, it remained gray.
But even in gray and dreary weather

Another gray day, and for what will be my last leg of the Camino de Santiago for now.
From the Sindelbach Valley, I cross over into the Rohrenstadt Valley via root-strewn paths and follow the stream towards Schwarzach, accompanied by the sounds of the motorway.
The trail climbs again for a while, offering

Let's start today with the most annoying part of the tour, when, after about 1.5 kilometers and 100 meters of elevation gain, I realized I hadn't recorded the steepest climb of the day. 🤬 I quickly dismissed the idea of backtracking, though. 😅
Starting in Kastl, the monastery castle was visible today

Today I continued my journey from Hohenburg, following the Lauterach River to Kastl. It was a route I only partially knew, as I'd always preferred to stay on the other side of the valley whenever possible, where narrow paths lead over rocks, juniper heaths, and through the forest.
So today I followed

The next leg of my journey took me from Ensdorf into the familiar Hirschwald Nature Park. There were probably not many paths I hadn't already walked.
Yet the nature park surprised and delighted me once again.
The hike began as it had ended the day before, shrouded in gray fog. But as soon as I climbed

The wet, gray December weather and the thought that the pre-Christmas season is always a time for inner reflection brought the Way of St. James to mind, or rather, a corresponding brochure literally fell into my lap.
So, I'm tackling a section of the Upper Palatinate-Franconian Way of St. James, which

Another hike in the beautiful Amberg-Sulzbach region, once again with stunning views and once again hazy weather. Perhaps I'll manage to visit again sometime in sunshine...
The Poppenricht circular hiking trail is marked with the letter [Po], so I followed the well-marked "Po" from St. Michael's Church

Today I headed back to the Vils Valley to hike from Theuern into the Hirschwald forest.
The hike started from the parking lot behind the castle in Theuern and led through the village and up into the woods. Gravel paths wind through the beautiful forest, initially accompanied by the faint background hum
