While most people probably think of shade, ice, or swimming pools when temperatures are above 30 degrees Celsius, I prefer to go on my next stage hike in such wonderful weather. 🥾🌞
So this path will accompany me in the coming days and weeks. Always according to time, desire and mood and also a little

Today, after a long time, the route led me towards Regensburg again, more precisely to Wenzenbach with the pretty Schönberg Castle.
But first, the path, or rather a road, led me uphill out of the town, before soft paths and trails led through the forest.
Soon the Roitherauer Bach stream is reached, which

With glorious hiking weather, I decided today to follow the Blaupunkt, which leads from Altdorf near Nuremberg to Pommelsbrunn. So, across the home region.
I relocated the starting point from the train station in Altdorf to the forest on the outskirts of town, to spare myself the streets through the residential

But nature and landscape are also appealing. Narrow paths

Why wander far...
Glorious weather and a public holiday - this combination makes me want to avoid the "hiking hotspots" and so I decided once again for the old familiar routes and paths through the Traunfelder Tal and over the Jurahöhe.
Technically not always the best, but still a balanced mix of asphalt

Just under two years ago I had already been in Trausnitz and hiked in the direction of Tännesberg. Today it was supposed to go in the other direction to Stein, with its castle above the Pfreimd.
The hike is varied, leading through forests and across high plateaus, on asphalt, gravel, forest paths, and

A wonderful hike took me back to the Oberpfälzer Wald today, to climb Signalberg via a variety of hollow ways and explore the remains of Frauenstein Castle.

And once again I was drawn to the Oberpfälzer Wald, not far from my last hike. This time with an atmospheric cloudy sky.
Starting from Guteneck, I first visited the pretty castle before continuing into the forest with an archery course.
Since no archers were out today, I could freely choose the paths and

Again a hike from the book "Erlebnis Wandern - Schwandorf & Umgebung" by Georg Luft. Today, however, an unusually tar- and asphalt-heavy tour.
From Schwarzach near Nabburg, the path initially leads over the gravelled Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path to Willhof with a detour to the 12th-century

It starts at the train station in Simmelsdorf. A small detour to Tucherschloss was of course not to be missed, although you don't see much from the gate.

This short loop starts from Taxöldern and took me to the Hirschbergturm and the Pfahl.
I left the Taxöldener Schlucht more or less unnoticed to the left right at the beginning, a shame. But even so, it was a very beautiful and varied loop with lots of forest, great views, especially from the Hirschbergturm

And so it continues on the Erzweg from Michelfeld. I'm still unpacking my camera from my backpack when a bird already poops on my arm... What a shitty start one might think now, but I prefer to see it as a good omen, as it promises another very nature-oriented hike today. 😅
