Uschi unterwegs 🌈🥾🥾

Today I headed back up to the Jura Mountains, this time to the starting point at the cemetery in the small village of Wengen. First, I went south through the "prairie." As always in this area, the expansive view of the flat horizons and their understated beauty was magnificent. The charm of the uninspiring

A short loop on the Jura plateau between the villages of Thalmannsfeld and Nennslingen was meant to give me a bit of exercise today. I started at a small parking lot in the center of Thalmannsfeld. From there, I headed south through a plain of fields and meadows, which offered a stark winter charm and

All in all, today's hike was a lively up and down through the Swabian Alb landscape between Denkendorf and Gelbelsee. My starting point was the cemetery on the northern edge of Denkendorf. An unspectacular but nonetheless varied loop awaited me, leading along forest edges, over wooded hills, slopes

My left Achilles tendon, which was acting up again, needed some rest. So I hatched the following plan: a quick ride up to the Jura Mountains and then something short and flat. Brilliant!



Things didn't quite go as planned… 😳

I do like the unspectacular, quiet expanse up there. But today I was greeted by

Taking advantage of the freezing temperatures and the early hour on a weekday, I once again ventured out for an off-season hike to a tourist hotspot in my area, which is usually packed with people. I started at the sailing harbor in Enderndorf am See. From there, I walked along the lakeside promenade

My hike today began at a small parking lot right at the foot of the Brombachsee dam.

This allowed me to enjoy the hazy morning atmosphere in peace and quiet, accompanied by a crisp

I took advantage of today's spell of good weather for a short hike, starting at St. Martin's Church on the outskirts of Schafhausen. A gentle climb through the snow-covered Kirchenholz forest led me out of the valley fog and up onto the sunlit plains of fields and meadows towards Hirnstetten. A visit

Today, almost as an afterthought, I enjoyed a simple, family-friendly circular walk of about 2.6 km, easily manageable on wide, gravel paths. The route is also suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. The area around the Ingolstadt Auwaldsee (floodplain lake) is a recreational area close to the city

Just in time for Christmas Day, the weather also decided to embrace the festive spirit. So I spontaneously opted for a short walk around the neighborhood. I headed up one of my local hills, the Rohrberg. Reaching the Schafberg, I was greeted by views of the wind turbines of the Höhenberg/Oberhochstatt

The hike began on the northern edge of Pfalzpaint, a small village in the Altmühl Valley. I quickly passed through the village, and soon the only significant climb of my route took me up the Streitleite ridge to a high point above the valley.



For the most part, I followed more or less roughly gravelled
