This Riesling loop leads through the impressive Upper Middle Rhine Valley World Heritage Site. The starting point is Lorch, a tranquil wine village with historical charm. The path climbs steeply to the Nollig ruins, offering stunning views of the Rhine Valley along the way. From there, the route heads

Sunshine on my day off! My hike today takes me to Rambach, a district of Wiesbaden, as I had some errands to run nearby.

The first half of the hike followed the long-distance

Given the foggy weather, I had considered skipping a hike on my day off. Luckily, I decided to go out after all, albeit more of a leisurely stroll without any significant elevation changes. Luckily, because my destination, the Sandlache nature reserve, had a magical and mystical quality thanks to the

On my day off today, I'm taking the train back to my old hometown of Idar-Oberstein. There, I'm hiking the Saar-Hunsrück Trail, a premium long-distance hiking route, from Idar-Oberstein to Wildenburg Castle near Kempfeld. From there, I'm extending the hike by a few kilometers to my parents' house in

Today I hiked the Aar Loop "Aar-Höhen-Luft" [sic], a trail that opened just a few months ago.
