Strictly according to plan, we headed back to Leipzig today. The journey was once again very relaxed, without any transfers and not very expensive – just the way I like it.
Overall, this leg of the trip was exactly as I had expected. There are many sections that, for me, feel more like connecting routes

Today I wanted to get back into exploration mode because the weather wasn't great – and also because there might still be too much melting snow somewhere.
After the Sprinter bus ride, I boarded the regional train towards Gera and got the idea to head back to the Saale-Orla district. I wanted to go to

Today I'm embarking on another city tour: This time I've chosen Leipzig because it's easily accessible and I've been wanting to visit again. I've planned four stages; I'm sure some hikers manage it in three. But I want to take it easy here, so I also have time for shopping.
The starting point was the

Since my regional train journey yesterday was quite late, I decided to sleep in today – also because yesterday had been rather tiring. So, naturally, the Seven Rivers Trail was next on my list, which is easily accessible from Nuremberg by S-Bahn. Although there was quite a bit of snow in places today

My firm plan was to hike another premium trail in the Frau-Holle-Land Geo-Nature Park today. The abundance of snow outside couldn't deter me from turning back on the drive to Eisenach and then on to Bebra. So, after starting in Sontra, I had to somehow push through. Admittedly, the trails were barely

Today I headed back to the Werra-Meißner district to experience the premium hiking trails. Of the trails easily accessible by public bus, the P17 certainly qualifies. I'm already familiar with the area around Waldkappel from the longer long-distance hiking trails, but this premium tour is a completely

The second hike of the day was the Ranis Robber Knights' Trail. I have to say, the first few kilometers were absolutely fantastic, and the trail clearly seemed destined for a premium experience. There were stunning views of Ranis Castle and Brandenstein Castle, attractive information panels, geologically

Today I felt like continuing my hike on this regional trail, which started in Blankenhain. While packing my "Saale Reservoirs" hiking map, I noticed a strange circular route with an odd symbol near the stage destination of Krölpa. On the drive to Thuringia, I did some research: it's called the "Ranis

Today I headed back to Frankfurt, another city in Hesse as my starting point, as is so often the case with my hikes. The goal was to complete the Green Belt circular trail. Since the train was actually on time today, I set off from the starting point shortly after 9:30.
The beginning is dominated by orchards

Sunday meant continuing my hike on the regional trail from Ziegenrück to the bell-making town of Wolfersdorf – especially since the weather was good and the pace was so relaxed. However, time was perhaps a little tight, as buses don't run very frequently at the end of the trail.
Overall, I'd classify
