Today I did another hike through the Kalletal valley in the snow and ice. I didn't even bother driving to the trailhead parking lot because steep inclines on slippery roads aren't really my thing. So I parked further down. I strapped on my crampons and then hiked up the trail. It was sunny at first

Thanks for the tip 😉

A lovely hike in Belgium to round off the Christmas season in Aachen, visiting my daughter. The narrow paths wound their way up and down along the Warche River near Robertville. Right at the start, there was a romantic view of the castle, followed by a stream crossing that left me with wet feet.

This tour is simply breathtaking. You feel like you've entered a completely different world. High up at approximately 1,600 meters, a pasture landscape with meadows, juniper, heather, and patches of raised bog stretches out before your eyes. Waterfalls cascade down from the surrounding mountains to form

This tour has highlights, but also some downers. First, the good: the section along the gorge, the impressive St. Catherine's Tunnel, and the fantastic views are breathtaking. The asphalt section and, on the way back, the shadeless section between the road and the river weren't fun at all. I should have

Today I did a loop around the Aschau Gorge—okay, it wasn't a loop because the path was suddenly closed for mountain rescue training. Nothing to be done about it.

The first tour in Chiemgau. From the Lindlbauer campsite up to the Bäckeralm. I had originally planned a tour that would have been almost exclusively on wide gravel roads. But I ended up taking narrow paths because I wouldn't have enjoyed it otherwise. So I hiked up a truly idyllic path. Streams crossed

Today I took my "newcomers" out for a walk and headed out to Hohenstein. Starting at the Försterlaube (forester's shed) and following the cliff path down into Totental (dead valley), there were gravel roads, lonely paths, rain under the canopy, and absolute peace. Fantastic. The Baxmannbaude (baxmann

Pretty in pink. A short walk through the Moosheide. I started way too late, and it was packed. I just focused on the ground 😹. But I still found some lovely, secluded paths for myself. Most visitors only take a few steps from the parking lot to the first photo stop 😅

This varied tour starts at the hiking car park at Pfingsttor. Right at the beginning, you pass the game reserve, where you can marvel at impressive deer. The trail continues along secluded paths through the forest, which in this weather almost resembles a rainforest. Then you reach a section that runs
