Wow, that's what I call a furioso finale. On the last stage, the Éislek-Trail gave everything again.
The first kilometer led me from the campsite back onto the trail. It quickly went down a narrow path to the Ourthe (Ourthe 1.). So the path continued as it left off yesterday. The path was not difficult

The morning already started very well at the campsite, where I had gotten a spot right by the Ourthe. The sun was shining on the river, and that created a particularly beautiful atmosphere.
Nevertheless, I set off soon enough; 34° had been announced, and so I went back onto the trail quite soon.

The bus transfer to Asselborn worked perfectly this morning. Short photo stop, short walk and then a short breakfast break.
From the Moulin d‘Asselborn, it first went along a field path towards Lehresmühle. From here I hike across the Plateau de Wincrange. The landscape is completely different now, more

For the way out of Clerveaux, I took a different one than into it yesterday. So I was in the forest quite quickly. A cool path led me to the Loretto Chapel (built in 1762 by Baron von Clerv, I suspect not by his own hand).
Now it first goes along a road and then 400 meters over a paved cycle path, along

Once again, I got up rather early, 29°C was forecast and a few meters of altitude. You don't have to do it in the blazing sun. Or so I thought.
From now on, it's hiking on the Éislek-Trail. Éislek (German: Ösling) is the Franconian-Germanic name for the Ardennes, which is still used today for the eastern

The overnight stay at Café Annette proved to be a success. For dinner, Annette cooked pasta with ham and then baked it with cheese: more than I could manage. It was also very tasty. Breakfast was also good, but at 18.50 Euros it was no bargain. In the future, the stages are likely to be changed, then

After a reasonably quiet night, I started this morning. Avoiding the heat for as long as possible.
So I again followed the wave on a blue background, the Escapardenne trail marker. The path led me along the Sauer (on the right side) and towering slate rocks on the left. I followed the path until I crossed

Today I set off for Ettelbrück in Luxembourg (via Liège). It wasn't as easy as I thought, the reasons are explained in two words: Deutsche Bahn.
But from Liège-Guillemins onwards, things went better, I travelled by train for a while along the Ourthe, which I will certainly get to know better in the coming

A beautiful round with friends on the Waldmythenweg near Waldbröhl, with a detour to Panarbora with the observation tower and the treetop path.

After a long time back in the Wuppersteilhänge, a nice Sunday round, rounded off with a stop at Haus Rüden.
It was nice.

Today it was supposed to be the Oberbergische. And so my choice fell on the destination of many pre-Christmas wish lists: Engelskirchen.
Starting from the train station, it soon goes up towards Rommersberg, and there it was, the dreaded little problem: the planned path apparently didn't exist yet, but

Burg an der Wupper was my chosen starting point today. I have often set off from here, the Wupper river offers many beautiful spots that invite hiking. The second castle of the lords (and ladies) of Berg - the ancestral seat was not far away near Altenberg Cathedral - also belongs to this.
So, initially

For my last hike on Corsica, I had planned a combination of Calvi's "local mountain", Capu di a Veta (703 m above sea level), and the Revellata peninsula. I'm not claiming to always have good ideas, but with a Mediterranean 33° C (in the shade, mind you, which was scarce on the route) it was probably

Today we did another tour with my son's family. We started in Cupabia. We followed the Mare e Monti Sud, and the path, to our delight, was shaded by trees. Very soon the path became exciting, because we could work our way upstairs over stones and roots. Here my granddaughter, at two and a half years

I once again felt like going for an extended hike. I often and gladly include three rivers/streams in my tours: the Eifgenbach, the Linnefe, and the Dhünn (in its upper course, the Kleine and Große Dhünn differ). And so I thought to myself that I could explore their sources. So I looked at the Komoot
