For the second to last day of my stay on the island, I had planned a long hike that would open up new paths for me. I had already walked parts of this tour, but there were also paths that I had never walked during all my stays. My conclusion: Borkum is worth a hiking trip; every North Sea fan who also

Today we headed east along the north coast of Borkum, with a sometimes strong headwind. The almost deserted beach and the vastness of the sea are always inspiring here. I cannot identify the lonely, strangely powerless-looking bird on my way; some people suspected it was an auk, which I have doubts about

In glorious weather, with blue skies and fluffy clouds, I walked from the north beach along the promenade in a southerly direction, then along the new boardwalk and through the salt marshes to Greune Stee - Green Spot. After crossing the road to the harbor, I continued east along the dam, before turning

My decision to hike the stages of the Rhine Castle Trail from south to north was also worth it on the second stage. Wonderful views of the Rhine, old castles and castle ruins and picturesque villages under sunny, blue skies: it couldn't be better!

Small tour in the south of Sylt without the expected rain, but with strong wind and a swimming ban.

Today I anticipated the hike planned for June 2nd as part of the Ahr Valley Summit Festival, only to find that the journey from Bonn using public transport was the biggest challenge of the day. This means that the transport transition will not happen - despite the Germany ticket.
In pleasant, sunny hiking

Today we went on a circular hike around the Hasenberg from Kreuzberg. The path led along beautiful, narrow meadow paths, often lined with broom, through the Sahrbach valley, past old mountain tunnels to the Ahr heights with great views over flower meadows to the Eifel and the Siebengebirge.
A MUST is

When the weather was cloudy, I was lucky that not a drop fell from the sky while I was out and about.
I walked through a barren, wide landscape that, apart from a few early signs of spring, showed no signs of the hoped-for general spring awakening.
The path, which was monotonous for long stretches, made

Start of the first stage of the Hohe-Mark-Steig in the version adapted to public transport in cold but wonderful sunshine.
The path led through very varied areas with many impressions of forests, dunes, moors, meadows, a lake and, last but not least, Wesel's attractive pedestrian zone with a variety of

Forgot the camera at home, the cell phone battery was barely charged, the photo shoot didn't take place today 😞. However, the nasty weather didn't allow any "views of home"; an overcast sky with occasional attacks of drizzle, especially at the beginning and at the end of my hike, ensured that the only

Today I wanted to walk the third stage of the EifelBahnSteig, but was put off by the relatively high water, the depth of which I couldn't estimate well because of the snow on the swampy terrain. Wet feet in the cold or worse: I didn't feel like doing that today. So I chose a shorter route to Nettersheim

In the most wonderful sunshine, I tackled stage 5 of the EifelBahnplatform from Urft to Kall. With the use of rail replacement transport, arriving and departing by public transport was no problem, and the hiking trail was also easy to manage despite some slippery sections.
I decided not to visit the Steinbach

Inspired by Yoda 80's hike, I modified the tour only slightly and added it to my hiking program: one of the most beautiful hiking routes close to the city that I have ever walked. The wonderful route always made me forget how close I always was to the big city; the dense forest allows hikes here even

Autumn in the Siebengebirge, overcast skies, temperatures in the single digits, not a ray of sunshine to brighten the gloom.
But instead, fresh, fragrant air, the scent of trees, moss and moist air, the play of colors from the still-present dark green tones to many shades of yellow to rich brown: a wonderful day of hiking!
