Scout Jens

Ich bin gerne draußen an der frischen Luft - am liebsten in der Natur fernab jeglicher Autostraßen oder sonstiger künstlicher Lärmquellen. Ab und zu begleitet mich meine Frau Ina. Das sind die besten Momente!

Bei Komoot bin ich seit dem 28. September 2018. Damals wollte Ina wandern und hat damit ein schon länger schlummerndes Bedürfnis bei mir geweckt. Seit dem 11. Januar 2021 bin ich auch aktiv bei OpenStreetMap (OSM) und gleiche die Erkenntnisse meiner Touren mit der Datenbank ab.
Am 15. Oktober 2024 habe ich mich vom Punktesystem bei Komoot verabschiedet, weil ich selber keinen Anreiz mehr benötige, um mich einzubringen. Das Punktesystem bringt außerdem manche Nutzer dazu, zu ihrem persönlichen Vorteil zu bewerten. Das ist nicht im Sinne der Community.


Im April 2024 habe ich meine erste längere Streckentour unternommen: Den Querweg von Freiburg - Bodensee bis nach Singen.
Im Mai 2025 folgte der Westweg und im Oktober 2025 der Ostweg (beides Höhenwege des Schwarzwaldvereins, die Anfang des 20. Jhd. angelegt wurden). Dabei geht es mir nicht in erster Linie um die Bewältigung der Strecke. Mein Anreiz ist vielmehr die Entdeckung der Landschaft mit ihrer Geschichte und den darin lebenden Menschen.

I spent most of the day processing the impressions of the last few days, and especially my impressions of Magdeburg so far.

At some point, I went out again towards the Domviertel. I arrived there right on time for closing. But that wasn't bad. There isn't that much to see there. There, on the banks of

Actually, I'll leave it at that for now and only show the selected photos and highlights.

I'm still in Magdeburg and still busy with explorations. Later, on one of the next tours, I'll also write something about my personal impressions; I think.

Since I had to change trains in Wolfsburg anyway, I spontaneously locked my suitcase away for almost 5 hours and went on a short exploration tour with the motto "When will I ever be here again?"

I am now publishing the tour several days later. Not because I lacked the time, but because in the end I was

Two years ago, I was so impressed by the area along the Alte Leine that I absolutely wanted to go back there. And not just because of the Wülfeler Biergarten, where excellently prepared pork ribs are served.

I didn't have much time, but it was enough for a wonderful afternoon in the Leinemasch.

Harry has lived in Hanover since he was born and had invited me on a bike tour. I naturally accepted the offer.

This way I came to places that I wouldn't have thought of myself. There was a lot of water and greenery on our route. But also places like the former tire factory, the concentration camp / labor

I had planned a visit to the Steinhuder Meer years ago. The last time I was there was as a small child with my family.

The starting point was chosen for a tour that suited me and because I liked the name so much. And in Mardorf, I first had coffee and ate apple cake. Opposite Steinhude, it's quieter there

I gladly accept the offer to use a bicycle for an exploration tour in Hanover. I don't set off too early and have planned absolutely nothing this time. Only the green patch in the east attracts me. It's the Eilenriede; mainly a large forest.

After some time, I notice that I haven't started the recording

Many are probably not aware that they know someone from Göttingen well - via the 10 DM banknote. The last 10 DM banknote (from 1991) shows the portrait of Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777–1855) and on the other side the vice-heliotrope (surveying instrument) invented by Gauß and a section of the surveying network

I landed in the northern part of Marburg-Cappel. From there I set off to an old red sandstone quarry. It is located in the area known as Lahnberge. Although the mountains here are not as high as I know them from my homeland in the Black Forest. Nevertheless, I am glad that it has cooled down considerably

Bad Homburg vor der Höhe - Deutschlandreise 3.1

Bah Homburg ist auf jeden Fall ein Ort mit viel Geschichte und vielen Geschichten. Nicht nur, das sich Hölderlin wegen einer Liebschaft aus Frankfurt hierhin zurückzog, Dostojewski spielte in der Spielbank mal 10 Stunden lang und verlor (natürlich) alles, wie er seiner Frau in einem Brief schrieb.

I didn't want to take a closer look at the place at first. But then I got curious and when will I be back there again? Besides, I only wanted to reach Marburg an der Lahn that day and I didn't have to check out of my hotel until 11 am.

So I set off into the old town. And that was exciting!

Either because I had to change trains there anyway, or because a place had long wanted me to visit it. Like the Saalburg in the Taunus near

Der 10. Tag meiner Fußreise von Karlsruhe nach Tübingen. Ich lasse es nur noch ausklingen. Für eine Stadtbesichtigung habe ich keine Zeit mehr.

I hadn't seen any vineyards yet – except on the train journey the day before. So I cancelled my day exploring Tübingen and drove back to Entringen. I wanted to get a bit closer to Tübingen on foot too.

And I enjoyed it! The path was so beautiful and varied. I didn't have much time because I was invited

On this day I leave the Black Forest and come into the Gäu. So beautiful that I increasingly extend the originally planned 11 km. The Sühnestein interests me and it lies in the middle of a long, quiet meadow valley. I don't want to throw around enthusiastic attributes again; but the valley is wonderful
