The chronological record of all the Jean Paul-borrowed quotations has gaps at this stage. I mean, one can at least mention the stations, since they can be researched online, but we weren't able to visit ALL the information panels. The route through Bayreuth corresponds to the separate city walk following

My son Lukas was visiting for a few days, and since we had nothing else planned, we took a short trip to the former inner-German border near Carlsgrün. There, we walked along the Steigla "Grenzer-Weg" (Border Guard Trail) to the former border strip, then along the patrol road to the Krötenmühle (Toad

A lovely loop for a quick hike! It's easy to squeeze in and, despite its manageable length, offers plenty to see, including views, beautiful forest paths, historical buildings, and a truly impressive rock formation in Schauenstein below the castle, the "Waking Virgin." There is a legend about how the

Just so you know: Since the last leg of our hike, which took us from Goldkronach to Bindlach, we're no longer following the defined stage lengths for the final stretch of the Jean-Paul Trail. Instead, we're forced to adapt to the limitations imposed by the darker months. This inflates the original 10

After a very pleasant, relaxing, yet varied Baltic Sea vacation, I was back exploring closer to home. My destination today was the Zegast Trail starting in Gottsmannsgrün. This is a district of Schwarzenbach am Wald and not to be confused with the town where the Gottsmannsgrün Brewery was located.

The hike we did today is practically a classic here on the peninsula: From Prerow, there's a beautiful, flat trail through the Darß Forest to the lighthouse on the west beach.
Everywhere you look, you come across evidence of earlier crafts: Many pine trees have notches that look more like amulets, and

The original plan was to walk along the cliff-top path and return to Ahrenshoop via the beach. However, due to construction, this option was temporarily unavailable, so we had to opt for the reverse route. Even this route was only partially successful, as after a few hundred meters, a "Beach section

And another Frankenwaldsteigla trail added to my collection! That was my fifth of the ten new trails today. The interesting thing is that this trail is essentially a connecting path between other hiking trails maintained by the Frankenwald Association and hardly follows its own dedicated route. Which

Traditions must be preserved!
I had a déjà vu today! While still at the Zoigl tavern "Zum Roud'n," I tried to convince myself that I absolutely wouldn't forget to turn off the tracker at the Windischeschenbach train station! And sure enough, it happened again: Almost exactly two years ago (we were also
