It poured heavily during the night, when I step out of the hotel in the morning the sun is just breaking through. I continue on slippery and muddy paths to Hemfurth, where I change the route to go over the dam wall. Unfortunately, it's too early for the ice cream factory on the other side, so it's a

After a restful night, in which the wind shook the tent, we continue through the drizzle towards Waldeck. Also today there are some great views of the Edersee on the route. Thanks to the many trees, I can wait until I need rain pants and rain jacket. And the prospect of getting everything dry again tonight

For me it starts once around the Edersee at the train station in Vöhl-Herzhausen, the journey from the Rhine-Main area is easily possible with a Germany ticket and I can reach the approx. 70 km long "Urwaldsteig" directly at the train station. Thanks to the rainy summer weather, the paths are empty when

Hike with a tent in 4 days on the 85 km long Soonwaldsteig from Kirn an der Nahe to Bingen am Rhein.



4th stage from the Lauschhütte to Bingen am Rhein:

1. Stages from Kirn to the Schmidtburg trekking site:

The journey to the Soonwaldsteig is possible from the Rhine-Main area comfortably by train and so it can start at 10 a.m. in Kirn. The place is quickly

Last section on Spessartweg 1 from east to west. In the direction of Aschaffenburg, the area becomes noticeably more urban. And it stays green enough that I get pecked at by an angry squirrel on the way. In Aschaffenburg there is the first coffee of the day and a leisurely stroll through town at the

The second day on Spessartweg 1 also began with a substantial ascent: after the pretty old town of Lohr, it went up a ravine into the forest. Today I liked the stage around Rothenbuch best: shady mixed forest, wide views and sunny paths over flowering meadows. If you are looking for a lot of peace and

First day on the 62 km long Spessartweg 1 from Gemünden am Main to Aschaffenburg. The advantage of going from east to west: it starts straight away with a decent ascent, it will never be that strenuous afterwards.Otherwise, the path is surprisingly varied: sometimes forest, sometimes meadow, it goes
