We set off from Weimar right at sunrise. Day 3 on the Kassel Trail! The beautiful interplay of clouds and the rising sun promised a promising day! The temperature was ideal for hiking!



From lovely paths to wide forest tracks, there was a good balance of everything. From midday onwards, a stiff wind swept

A beautiful but very cold hike on the Kassel Trail through the UNESCO World Heritage Site. There was so much to see today. This stage included all the detours along the trail. We visited the two castle hills near Großenritte and Hoof, the Hirzstein viewpoint, and the Bismarck Tower on the Brasselsberg

A day hike on the Kasselsteig trail! 👍🏻 Getting to and from the start and finish using public transport is quite a challenge. Even more so when the tram from the end of the trail is out of service for several hours! That really puts the winter hike in the background...!



Nevertheless, it was a wonderful

As promised, here's the missing E3 trail from Eschenstruth. After contacting the local mountain club, I received a GPX file of the classic E3 loop, having already completed the E1 and E2 trails last weekend.



It runs primarily around Waldhof, along the eastern side of the Rohrberg mountain, and back to

I filmed these two loops in my home area in freezing cold weather. 🥶 Around Sanko, I explored some very beautiful, unfamiliar paths. The rest was infamous...

After a long drive, I set off from Altenbrunslar train station

Eighty hiking enthusiasts met in Flaesheim for the 2nd Backyard Hiking Event, "Die Ha(a)rd Winter."



Just in time for the event, winter arrived with snow and frost.



As in summer, the goal was to complete a 5 km loop in one hour, but this time in the opposite direction.



We started promptly at 9:00 a.m. on

After lunch, I had to overcome the post-lunch slump and get out into the fresh air and the misty landscape. Not easy, but it had to be done... Around 400 meters altitude, the warming sun came out and it became simply wonderful. I added a little loop and extended the hike. The return journey took me via

Today was my 600th Komoot hike, and to complete another ten, I wanted to tackle my 80th ultra hike.



The route started from my front door and went through my home area in a figure-eight pattern. One loop went to Hopfelde, and the other to Kaufungen. Despite the awful weather, I made good progress, but

At sunrise, I set off from Kassel, heading north along the Fulda River to the Wahnhausen Lock. From there, I returned along the other side of the river and upstream through Kassel to the Bergshausen Bridge.



After more than seven hours and just before sunset, I arrived back at my starting point. A tour
