Dick had chosen a beautiful hike, it had the necessary kilometers (14.5) but not that many altitude meters (150). Krün lies at the foot of the Karwendel mountains, so we had a beautiful view of it again. We walked through beautiful forest, past 3 beautiful lakes and also had a beautiful view of the Mittelgebirge

After breakfast, we first got sandwiches at the bakery and drove towards Biberwier, parked the car at the Weissensee. Dick thought this was the Weissensee where marathons and the alternative Elfstedentocht are skated, but our hike would be about 10 km, so that doesn't really fit. That Weissensee is located

After our visit to Garmisch Partenkirchen, we took a little walk from the hotel over the Panorama Höhenrain. Our thighs are still sore. Dick has some pain in his knee, hence this quiet little tour. Beautiful view of the Wetterstein massif, where we were told along the way that coniferous trees are finding

Oh oh oh we had such sore muscles this morning, those 1000 meters of descent yesterday were quite something. We took our time because it was raining. We are taking the bus to Garmisch Partenkirchen, because now that we are here, we naturally want to see the ski jumps in the Olympic Stadium. Childhood

The weather forecast for today also looked much better than previously stated. So a plan was made, we're going up with the Kreuzeckbahn to 1650m and then walk back down to Hammersbach. We thought about taking the bus, but then we would have had to go to GP first, and then back with another bus, which

We set off around 9:00 AM. My plan was to walk to the Eibsee, then walk around it, and if the weather permitted, walk back. Some rain was forecast for the afternoon, so the alternative was to take the bus back. Guests in the area receive a bus pass that allows free bus travel from Ehrwald to Garmisch

After breakfast, we left around 9:15 AM. Our stopover was in Dinant, which is about an hour's drive from Rochehaut and on the way home. After parking the car, we walked along the quay and first had coffee at a patisserie with a waffle and an éclair. We got a map at the tourist information to do the city

Today to Herbeumont, according to the Rother hiking guide, we were supposed to have the most spectacular view of the Ardennes there. View of the winding Semois and high above the Gué du Moulin and the Tombeau du Chevalier, the ruins of Herbeumont castle. For this, we had to climb the "steep" slope south

Departed this morning at 8:30 AM, this time also "well" prepared, hiking gear on and with our binoculars. In Belgium, they are still busy with roadworks near Antwerp and Brussels, but we still managed to drive it in 3.5 hours. Near our guesthouse l’Orchidee, there are already hiking routes. We were allowed

Today I walked around the Reeuwijkse plassen again. Last year we walked this stretch in early March, now a month later. The leaves are bursting out on the trees and bushes, and the birds here have the final say. Unfortunately, we are not very familiar with bird sounds, but we were pointed out the Reed

So, here's part 2 of the walk.
After coffee, we climbed a little further and arrived at one of the highest points in the Sauerland, the Clemensberg (825m), from where we had a magnificent view of the Sauerland. We could even see the slopes of Winterberg from here. The tour then continued over the Hochheide

I'd found a well-described walk online, the Three Valleys Trail, for those who, besides nature, also wanted to see the many picturesque villages of the Sauerland, with their cozy half-timbered houses, charming terraces, and beautiful viewpoints. So I looked up the Three Valleys Trail route on Komoot

I'd planned a nice tour around the Bruchhauser Steine for today. A bit longer and with a slightly higher elevation gain than yesterday. The starting point was another half-hour drive away, and we set off around 10:15. The first section was in the shade, and with our enthusiasm, we set off in our vests

During breakfast, I picked out a nice walk, which I chose the Naturweg Liesetal. About 13.5km, with some elevation gain and then some descent. Liesen is only half an hour from Winterberg, so we packed our
lupas, had something to drink, and set off. We started the loop around 10:00 am. We were soon able

This morning we had breakfast at 7:30 AM. We are going to walk the Hollentalklamm to the Hollentalangerhütte. It is one of the most beautiful natural experiences in the Bavarian Alps. A tough hike with 800 meters of elevation gain. We'll get bread rolls at the bakery again and drive to Hammersbach, it
