Eine Tour pro Woche hatte ich mir schon vor langer Zeit mal vorgenommen, und im Großen und Ganzen hat das auch funktioniert (wenn man nicht einen Leistenbruch oder ähnliche unangenehme Dinge erleiden muss, die einem Zwangspausen vorschreiben...). Am Donnerstag geht´s in Kurzurlaub, so dass eigentlich

Also, first of all: Many thanks to @Joachim Weller for this extremely beautiful and content-rich tour suggestion. I really enjoyed the tour and saw a lot of new things!
And that brings me to the topic. I described the tour as "historically significant" because it actually offers many things that have

A fabulous 21 hikers were the group from FGV Oberkotzau today, who set off northwest of Bayreuth to explore the Teufelsloch! And this despite the rather high outside temperatures! But since the path led predominantly through the forest, it was still quite manageable!
Right at the beginning of the hike

The circular hiking trail 4 is one of (currently) 7 circular hiking trails around Joditz, which was created and is also maintained by the local tourist association. I am the responsible trail guardian for this trail, and today I walked it again to see what needs to be repaired. The result was pleasing

The Teufelsloch - a wild gorge in a place you wouldn't expect to find it! We stumbled upon it by chance last year when we were hiking the Jean-Paul-Weg trail, which leads through this gorge. But I already explained that on the March tour.

Originally, I wanted to hike another Frankenwaldsteigla today, but after reports emerged that the northern Kronach district had been hit by severe storms, I looked for an alternative; after all, one had to expect a multitude of fallen trees!
My choice fell on another circular hiking trail around Röslau

Today's tour counted 14 participants, although not all of them ran; two waited for us at the country inn and passed the time with interesting conversations and a short walk.
The start and end point was the Landpension Mehringerhof. The route led from Hohenbuch (near Leupoldsgrün, not to be confused with

It was high time that the tours became a bit "normal" again!
Today I tackled another Steigla, the "Güldenstein-Weg" from Elbersreuth near Presseck. I've been to Elbersreuth several times before because various hiking trails (including quality trails) pass through there, but today I was able to discover

Every year, the Oberkotzau local group of the Fichtelgebirge Association makes a pilgrimage to the Erbschänke in Draisendorf to enjoy an excellent Flammkuchen. This year was no exception, but curiously, it turned into a double event.
Why?
Actually, the Flammkuchen event was planned for the previous week

This trail is part of the FGV-Oberkotzau local group's program in October. Since I won't have time to accompany the tour on that day, I decided today to simply walk the route. The DÖ 35 is not too long, the path is relatively easy, apart from some roughly gravelled sections; one could almost classify

Yes, that was the third "recuperation lap", as I call it, after my surgery three weeks ago. I'm on the mend, and I'm confident that I'll be running "smoothly" again from next month. There's still a lot to do - let's get to it!

Great, even though you surely expected more. Take it easy and not too much, it will be fine. All the best‼️‼️

The start this morning began in beautiful sunshine. Wisely, I had stowed my softshell jacket in my suitcase, because in view of the expected warm temperatures, one doesn't need to burden oneself with superfluous equipment.
The grey heron in the Lieser was also visibly enjoying the circumstances and constantly

Although I have walked this trail before, whenever possible, I try to re-examine paths that I have suggested for the FGV-Oberkotzau program. Human or environmental influences can massively change some paths!
But apart from the unavoidable heat-related influences, everything was ok. I am of the opinion
