Monday early evening, 6:30 PM, Aurich Harbour, which means the weekly after-work tour of the ADFC. Today, with about 25 participants, we went east along the canal first to Wiesens, then between fields and meadows to Felde and Wrisse, and then to Holtrop and back to Aurich via the Ostfriesland hiking

The morning and the hike started dreary and gray and with rain. Luckily for me, it didn't rain continuously, but the clouds and the rain alternated with blue sky and sunshine. But for a midsummer day in August, it's not really the weather you wish for. Along the way, I met a good acquaintance who also

My path this morning led me more or less around and through Sandhorst. Unfortunately, right on cue for sunrise, there was a bit of rain, as really dark clouds had gathered. The weather remained very mixed. Sometimes there was a bit of blue sky to be seen and then again heavy rain clouds. Now and then

Today's meeting point was the Wallinghausener Wald near Mutter Janssen. With a group of similar size to last time, 12-15 people, we went through the forest to Moorwald Plaggenburg. The fact that it occasionally drizzled lightly in between did not dampen the good mood. With many nice conversations, the

Last year, Carglass performed a smart repair after a stone chip, so far so good. When I went for the TÜV inspection last month, they said it wouldn't do, the windshield had to be replaced. So I made another appointment with Carglass and this time had the windshield replaced, which was my idea last time

Monday 6:30 PM, time for the ADFC's after-work tour starting at the harbor. Today, 16 cyclists went to the east and south of Aurich, on a beautiful loop via Wiesens, Holtrop, Schirum, Ludwigsdorf, and Kirchdorf back to Aurich to the harbor. Afterwards, I also accompanied Uwe from the group part of his

I was early enough for the sunrise today, but I took the wrong direction. Because on my way there was too much development and too many trees, so I only saw the sun late. On the other hand, the atmosphere with the light ground fog was all the more beautiful. Dreamy deer and rabbits in the meadows, sleepy

There was almost something like an equinox, though only in terms of temperatures. At night, the temperatures only dropped to 17-18°, and during the day today it's not expected to get warmer than 21°. Definitely better than yesterday's 36°. What I find amazing in this context is that the ground and the

Since we started with the hiking group in Ihlowerfehn today and the way there and back on foot was too far, I rode there and back by bike and took a small loop through Ihlow. I was too early on the way back for today's partial solar eclipse, but I have added pictures of it, as I went to a nearby open

The meeting point for the MTV hiking group today was the community center at Ihler Meer. With the sunny weather and pleasant temperatures, we had 15 participants today, walking between the 'Mäden' (Northern German for meadows) and through the Ihlower forest. It was a beautiful, relaxed round with nice

It was time again for the ADFC after-work tour, starting at 6:30 PM from Aurich harbor. 22 volunteers and interested people had gathered to enjoy the mild weather and sunshine on a bike tour. However, I was partly not very enthusiastic. Firstly, the official ADFC tour guide rode with the entire group

So many joggers as this early morning I have not seen before in Aurich. And the age range was from 20-80 years, but the weather was also pleasant and beautiful, not too warm and not too cool. Besides, I remained unnoticed for a long time by two very young deer, who were standing calmly by a cornfield

The tour was adventurous because the paths were not always easy to walk today. And that's because the paths are hardly used by anyone. Three times a tree lay across the path, and many sections were so overgrown that the grass and bushes stood up to 1 m high. But that also makes it interesting again and

Today the MTV hiking group had to put up with me once again, as our Katja is on vacation this week. Since the weather is currently very sunny and warm, I had announced that we would only walk through the forest to have some shade and perhaps cooler temperatures. We ended up being ten people, one of whom

The meeting point for the hiking group was in Ludwigsdorf today. With warm and sunny weather, it was really fun today and since it was also windy, it didn't get too warm, but you could still walk in a t-shirt and shorts. I had already done a short hike to Ludwigsdorf, from there it continued sociably
