After the hot weekend, we can continue with a local tour. It's amazing what nature reclaims over time, small paths are often almost invisible. After passing through the upper town of Geesthacht, we continue through the forest to the Elbe. We follow the Elbe for a while and then turn sharply left to enter

To challenge the muscles one more time before the super hot weekend. Actually, I just set a few points on the Komoot map and generated a hike from them. However, I didn't expect this hike to be so beautiful. Leaving the village, we immediately continued on field paths, briefly skirted the town of Geesthacht

The sun is shining, it's like a magnet, it motivates and it's fun to be out in the surrounding nature. Without a long drive, just set off. Sometimes we don't even realize that we already live and exist in the middle of nature.

Off into nature, past historical and partly forgotten places that nature has often reclaimed. My local route takes me past the horse farm, followed by the former refugee camp from 1945, then on towards the Elbe, where I cross the former site of the Dynamit – Fabrik Alfred Nobel from the Second World

With this wonderful weather, you're simply drawn to the beautiful places in our homeland. The interplay of forest and beach in the middle of the nature reserves is simply beautiful. 🤩

Today we got a good dose of fresh air at Schönberger Strand. To give us a little extra motivation, a fish stall was already open, so we stopped briefly for a fish sandwich – really delicious 😋. The offshore wind today gave us quite a good blast, but the sun and blue sky more than made up for it.

Following the traces of prehistory with its long barrows, also known as giant's beds, through forests, meadows, and the rolling hills of the Holstein Switzerland region. The weather was also on our side this morning (thank you 🙏), we didn't get a single drop of rain on our hike. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Today we're enjoying the fresh sea air. The weather app predicted fog, but the sun found plenty of breaks in the clouds to illuminate the natural surroundings. The combination of sun and fog had a mysterious quality, even though the fog rolling in from the sea kept the temperatures down. The hike was

Unfortunately, today's hike didn't go as planned. After we'd covered about 30 to 40% of the route, the forest roads were suddenly closed. A bulldozer had been smoothing out the rutted tracks after several logging trucks had caused chaos. So this was the only option left. Not exactly our favorite, but

We hiked around the Großer Eutiner See (Great Eutin Lake) in glorious weather. Our starting point was Eutin Castle, which is also open to visitors (note: it's closed in February for extensive cleaning). This hike is highly recommended, offering mostly stunning views of the lake as you walk very close

We hiked around Lake Trammer near Plön in glorious sunshine. As soon as you leave the village, you're greeted by old, gnarled oak trees. The marshy areas and meadows also show their beauty. Well, it's only January, but we imagine it will be wonderful here in spring or autumn 🍂. Just a note: you can

Today I checked the remaining snow and whether the forest is passable again. It looks good, although the ban on entering the forest a few days ago was justified due to the heavy snow load on the trees. A lot of branches have broken off 😞. It was lovely to hike through nature again. 🥾

The sun lured us out from behind the stove once again. Ahrensburg Castle shone brightly in the sunshine. We continued along the beautiful floodplain trail, which today even featured some mystical elements with fog and hoarfrost. A fantastic hike that we will definitely do again at a different time of year.

Started with dark clouds, today I had the impression that 3 seasons were present on this hike. First spring with a mix of clouds and rain, then summer with blue skies and sunshine, shortly after autumn followed with its storms 🤷♂️. Nevertheless, it was very beautiful. Started in Lauenburg at the castle
