Against expectations, it remained mostly dry this morning. After the heavy and persistent rain yesterday and also during the night, I had already prepared myself for a wet round this morning. Fortunately, it stayed largely dry, even though the clouds passed over me very darkly at times and it rained

Treffpunkt war heute wieder der Auricher Hafen und von dort ging es mit einer großen Gruppe, 19 Teilnehmer, durch die Stadt zum Wald in Wallinghausen. Eine schöne Runde, die größtenteils abseits der verkehrsreichen Straßen verlief, mit guten und netten Gesprächen. Das wirklich schöne Wetter mit angenehmen

Unlike yesterday morning, on the holiday, there was really nothing going on early this morning. In addition, I was on lonely and partially "forbidden" paths for large parts. Although there wasn't as beautiful a sunrise as yesterday, because there was quite a bit of cloud cover in the sky, it was particularly

The Day of Unity unfortunately fell on a weekend, and thus on a day when I hike regularly anyway. During the week, it would have been an additional hiking day. On the other hand, the weather this morning was beautiful again, with a cloudless sky, light ground fog, and a beautiful sunrise. What surprised

Noch hält der Spätsommer durch und beschert bei Sonnenschein angenehme Temperaturen. Das sollte man nutzen und bei dem schönen Wetter raus und sich bewegen. Zwischendurch gab eine kleine Pause beim Kukelorum für eine Erfrischung, bevor es weiterging. Allerdings merkt man doch, dass die Temperaturen schnell

Today the group met again at the harbor in Aurich. From there, 17 participants went along the Ems-Jade Canal to Popens and from there in a loop back to the harbor. The weather provided a really beautiful summer day and there were many good conversations along the way. At the end of the tour, some had

What a beautiful morning! In the dark sky stands the much too bright full moon, which almost blinds you in the darkness, and on the other side, the first delicate orange of the rising sun shows itself in the sky. With such beautiful conditions, I had to choose the path so that I had as much free view

Since I haven't had any mountains for a long time now, this morning I went to my favorite corner in the north of Aurich, into the moor. Although it is impassable and very overgrown, it is also undisturbed, natural, and totally quiet apart from the sounds of the animals. I enjoy walking through the moor

Back in Ostfriesland and we seem to have brought a bit of the nice weather with us. Because it was so sunny today, I took the opportunity for a short bike tour through the municipality of Ihlow. On the way, I stopped by a good friend's place and got a little refreshment before continuing on my way home

Today was the last tour on Crete for this year. There were many new tours and I hadn't walked this path before today either. I had certainly walked the many stairs to a viewpoint in the Kourtaliotiko Gorge many years ago, but not to the waterfalls. And back then, there wasn't the huge tourist hustle

So that was actually the plan, because a path is marked on the map. So I wanted to test if it really works. My conclusion after the tour is, there is no path upwards. Whether a path exists from Frati that leads in the direction of Preveli, I cannot say. I definitely aborted the tour and turned back

The rock chapel had been on my agenda for a long time, as you can see it from the beach. Today was the day. The path from Damnoni is a bit steep, very rocky and a bit rugged. From the other side, you can even drive almost to the chapel, up to the last 100 m, but that wouldn't have been my way. The chapel

This morning I went on a self-devised and planned tour again, with the idea of finding a path up Mount Kefala off the beaten track. Although the old country roads in this area are often barely usable and overgrown. While searching for a path up Kefala, I simply followed the goat trails. Always take the

Today I ran a small but new loop directly from Plakias. I don't want to put too much strain on my shoes anymore. It goes along the small river that flows into the sea at Plakias. I had already been to the ruins of the old mills in the gorge, but yesterday I newly discovered the renovation of another

In contrast to yesterday, there was almost continuous rain today, although with short breaks in between. For the first half hour, it was also so dark that you could hardly see anything due to the dense and low clouds and the rain. However, there were also three short rain breaks and the blue of the sky
