Our fourth stage starts after breakfast at Lazy Cat on the Rott, which we follow to Eggenfelden, crossing meadows and fields. The Rott appears rather calm and leisurely here, embedded in a typical Lower Bavarian cultural landscape. After Eggenfelden, we head back across the country until we reach the

We were also able to complete our third stage in glorious weather. From Plattling, we headed to Deggendorf, where the Isar flows into the Danube – the confluence of these two very different bodies of water is actually a special natural spectacle, even though the Isar delta was unfortunately not visible

We were able to start our second stage again in wonderful weather and glorious sunshine. However, the Isar has changed significantly in the meantime: overall, in many places it looks more like a lake than a river. It has completely lost the character of a mountain river. Rather, it has become a very

For our first stage, we traveled by train, which was surprisingly full for an Easter Monday. The train was full of groups in interesting outfits (nuns, priests & devils, red-and-white striped people, pink plush toys, and men in pink dresses with gold pom-poms) who had obviously had a substantial breakfast

The 2nd to 4th pictures in particular are real eye-catchers.

Our tenth stage ran along the Deeside Way to Ballater, along the River Dee and partly along old railway lines. The terrain was very mixed, however – everything from narrow footpaths to well-maintained forest paths. The first section ran through the forest and was scenically beautiful in itself – however

On our ninth leg, we took a few detours to avoid the A90. In Aberdeen, we followed the coast and admired the "book benches," which are apparently being auctioned off for cancer relief.
In Aberdeen, there's also the Geeyhope Café, from where you can usually spot dolphins in the harbor with binoculars—unfortunately

On our day off in Newburgh, we went to the beach today, where we can observe one of Scotland's largest seal colonies. Several hundred seals were lying close together on the sand, making their trademark howling noises – absolutely adorable 😍
Up to 3,000 grey seals gather here, especially in winter and

Our eighth stage initially led us along the coast, with a short detour to the impressive Sea Caves of Aberdour. Thanks to the typically Scottish weather, we were barely able to enjoy the coastal view.
So, in Fraserburgh, we first had some refreshments and visited the lighthouse.
From Fraserburgh, we then

Our last stage is fortunately the shortest – today there is no more sunshine, rather it is raining nicely. Despite the rain, we make a short detour to the Baumburg Abbey Church, which we have only ever seen from below until now. The former Augustinian Canons' Collegiate Church is impressively located
