About 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. Das sind die besten Momente! Ich bin immer auf der Suche nach neuen Wegen und neuen Eindrücken. Dabei sind wir von Karlsruhe aus meistens mit dem Öffentlichen Nahverkehr zu den zu erkundenden Gegenden unterwegs. Der große Vorteil dabei ist, dass man nicht zum Ausgangspunkt zurück muss. So plane ich immer öfter Streckentouren.Stadtgeschichte und Stadtplanung begeistern mich, insbesondere die Entwicklung der jeweiligen Infrastruktur. Außerhalb der Städte versuche ich, alte Bahnlinien oder die Geschichte der jeweiligen Wege und Gegenden zu erkunden. Und natürlich Natur und Ruhe genießen!Bilder mache ich genug, aber hier auf Komoot ich möchte mich inzwischen auf möglichst einen großen Diafilm pro Tour (=36 Stück) beschränken. Die Welt ist so groß und es gibt viele schöne Ecken und Menschen, die sie uns zeigen. Man sollte neben dem Betrachten von Fotos Anderer auch noch die Zeit haben, selber auf Fotosafari zu gehen.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 Anfang des Jahres 2021 bin ich auch aktiv bei OpenStreetMap (OSM) und gleiche die Erkenntnisse meiner Touren mit der Datenbank ab.Das Urheberrecht © für alle von mir hier im Rahmen der Tourendokumentation oder zu Highlights geposteten Fotos und Texten behalte ich mir ausdrücklich vor, eine Verwendung außerhalb von Komoot.de bedarf meiner schriftlichen Zustimmung.

One of my tours to thoroughly explore Karlsruhe. Here with sunshine and some nice discoveries.

We start at the Mauxau stop and take the path to the farm of the same name. There's not much going on here as the restaurant doesn't open until 12 p.m.
At Lake Knielinger we are in the shade in bright sunshine. The hard coal-fired unit 8 of the RDK is in operation and the residual water produces a plume…

I left a few of the 141 photos taken here as documentation of the tour. My current favorite train line (Wörth - Lauterbourg = 17 minute train ride) had to be used again. This time the focus was on exploring the paths, areas and details. I have now largely incorporated the findings into OSM. They will…

A beautiful tour through the Bienwald with watercourses that dried up in September 2020 and have now transported life-giving water again. There are also some blown-up bunkers that tell of the Second World War. And snow! That I can still experience this in the Rhine plain!
According to the motto, the path…

One of the wars that northern Alsace experienced was the War of the Spanish Succession (from 1701 to 1714). To protect themselves, a defensive line was built in 1706 from the Vosges to the Rhine - the Lauter Line. 50 forts and 28 weirs with dams were built. In case of doubt, they wanted to dam up the…

An autumnal morning with sunshine and from the "View of Wolfsburg" in the quiet Palatinate Forest.
There was a lot going on at the Hohe Loog Haus, but not as busy as usual, according to regular guests.
The house is huge…

According to the (previous) long-term average, the water level at the Maxau gauge rises to 780 cm every 2 years. Persistent rainfall in the Upper Rhine water catchment area in recent days caused the level to rise to 805 cm yesterday. So I had an alternative destination to Mannheim. After all, the KVV…

It was time to look around again. So I had a great afternoon.
I only became aware of the Bierburg with its new walking options a few days ago. Upon closer inspection, I have to say: it's worth it. You can look around the old buildings undisturbed. Many information boards about the individual buildings…

While mapping, I encountered questions. So I went on site exploration to collect data for OSM and explore new avenues.
I deleted the over 100 photos to improve the database after I made the changes.
What remains are a few beautiful memories, which I present here.
Among them, I find the great egret near…

I have already seen many places by bike and explored them in more detail on this tour. The grounds of the Karlsruhe Football Club (a founding member of the German Football Association and German champions in 1910), the former telegraph barracks, which today partly houses the West Campus of the KIT and…
