Visited a good friend in the neighboring town, we thought: Let's go for a walk across the fields.
Went off without a plan, chatting as we went.
At some point, we ended up in Doveren by the blue flowers, but of course without any blue flowers.
Since we were already here, we might as well continue to the

Today we borrowed a tour from @Michael 🚶♂️. Returned safe and sound with many thanks.
We were warned: right at the beginning, we shouldn't take the overgrown path he had taken, but a few meters further. Nevertheless, we took a look: overgrown, yes, but where on earth was a path supposed to have been

Back in familiar territory.
Small flatland loop, close to water, yet still much too warm. The latter at least for one of us.
We liked it.

After a good night's sleep, only interrupted by a deer conversation, the day started with a nice sunrise.
We had breakfast and set off, first a few km on narrow trails.
These ended at Hartmannswillerkopf, where, besides a soldiers' cemetery, there was a rather pompous monument to the First World War.
We

From Mittlach, it initially went straight uphill on trails, quite tough. Fortunately, today the trails were easily walkable. Later, they switched to forest roads, which I was more than happy with today. It was already relatively warm, but it was still manageable.
The path was beautiful, now and then there

I never thought I'd say this, but: That was too many goat paths. Specifically, the kind where you have to constantly watch your step to (Level 1) not trip over a stone or root, or (Level 2) to see where you're even placing your feet. Today, it felt like 95% of the paths were like that; I was so happy

Today, it initially led almost exclusively on uphill trails, past the Koenigsstuhl, a rock formation that contained something like a chair and offered views of the surrounding trees, through the forest, over rocky paths, all the way to Aubure.
In between, you could also catch a glimpse of the view through

Another round through the little town, grabbing some food and mini-sightseeing.
I'll just say: Middle Ages and stuff.

This morning, first 2 km to the train station and I checked if a bus could take me back to the GR 53 in Chatenois: Yes, it could, but I would have to wait 45 minutes. In that time, I also walked the 4 km. So, along a small road into Chatenois.
In Chatenois, a medieval festival was celebrated today, with

Today, therefore, a rest day, although about 5 km away from the GR 53.
Along the river into the town, then into a public park at an old defense facility.
I was very pleased that dog poop bags are also available everywhere here. It's always an enrichment and you immediately feel at home.
Now I strolled through

I actually thought it would go through vineyards for a bit this morning. So after leaving the medieval-looking village of Andlau.
But no, it first went uphill for 7 km on unexciting paths through the forest. Since it was also raining, that was somehow okay.
After the 7 km, I missed or took a turn somewhere

There isn't much to write about the trail today, except: change, change, change.
Both the trail itself and the surroundings changed constantly, which is why there are also many trail-and-trees photos today. Again. And views, of course. In other words: the main highlight today was the trail.

Heute Morgen stand ich direkt vor einem Dilemma: Sowohl der GR 53 Track in komoot als auch die Hexatrek-App zeigten völlig andere Wege an, als ausgeschildert (aber immerhin der gleiche Weg in beiden Apps).
Ich habe mich dann entschieden, den ausgeschilderten Weg zu gehen und es kam, wie es kommen musste

Bei leichtem Nieselregen bin ich heute morgen gestartet, es ging - na klar - erstmal bergauf auf den Schneeberg. Wobei ich hoffte, dass der Name nicht Programm wird. Aber ist dafür auch zu warm.
Hoch ging es hauptsächlich auf Wirtschaftswegen, bis ich an eine Hütte kam, die ich gestern als potentielle

A day at the sea including a round through Vlissingen. Not the most beautiful place when viewed from the beach, but quite nice inside.
Otherwise: sea.
Nice.
I liked it.
