Before the clocks changed, we wanted to do another 30 km hike, and we succeeded today. For the first four hours, we had wonderful sunshine, after which the sun was largely obscured. From the start, we also had a strong wind, sometimes directly against us or as a tailwind, depending on the direction

I visited the neighboring country again on German Unity Day. But unlike the other tours, this time I was out and about near the border. This raises the question of why I haven't done this before. Well, it's not a typical hiking tour, more like sightseeing. The proportion of paved sections is very high

This is a slightly longer route today, but the comment will remain rather short. Fischbeker Heide would certainly have been much more impressive four weeks ago, but it is still a beautiful landscape. Besides, we were lucky enough to see Heidschnucken (heathland sheep).
In the southern part, we were able

A place called Königreich requires a release of the tour. We started in Estebrügge at the church, which has a strangely twisted tower. We crossed the Este via a swing bridge and walked along the dike path, first on the right side, later on the left.
Our destination was Harmshof. There is a nice farm caf

In the best weather, we first walked 5 km through the various orchards today. Admittedly, they are almost exclusively apples, but today we also saw sections with cherries and also pears.
In Lühe, we reached the Elbe dike, which we initially walked along to the Lühe ferry landing. At the landing, there

A route description is unnecessary at 2.5 km. But the old town of Stade speaks for itself. The southern part of this tour is still quite ordinary, but at the latest at the Wilhadi Church we immersed ourselves in the fascination of Stade's old town. One historic facade after another. The streets are partly

Simply enjoy the flat country. At the beginning, our path led straight through vast apple orchards, which are a landmark of the Altes Land. You can see quite a bit of how the apple harvest is proceeding, which is currently in full swing. The posters put up also tell of the problems faced by fruit farmers

I have been to the Bober river a few times now, but never in this region. It is rather flat land, with inclines only in the river valley or on a historical ringwall.
The tour starts at the train station in Małomice (Mallmitz) and leads through the town to a Polish-Catholic church or chapel (Parish of

The Liebethaler Grund and the Lohmener Klamm were on the agenda today. And even though it is very beautiful there, we didn't just want to hike back and forth in the valley.
So we added the somewhat dreary road section from Bonnewitz to the beginning of the tour, which was then ticked off. The sun was

It was supposed to be a tour to two waterfalls, but at most there were one and a half. The lack of water is also noticeable here. The river through Hejnice, the Smědá (Pol. Witka; Ger. Wittig), also carries little water; at one point we saw a large sandbank.

Summer is slowly saying goodbye and it was time to repeat a tour from February 2022, in the opposite direction, which gives completely new impressions in addition to those based on a completely different season. The weather was ideal today, just over 20 degrees and the wind also held back, quite different

On the one hand, we still have August, and that is definitely summer. On the last 10 km, we also had strong summer sun.
On the other hand, it already looks and feels autumnal in many places. In that respect, summer is already a thing of the past.
And as Peter Maffay sings so beautifully? "I was 16 and

The weather today practically begged for a hike, and it was supposed to be a largely new route. The destination was the still quite new observation tower on the Jitrovnik, though integrated into a somewhat longer tour.
At this time of year, it is great to start from one of the parking lots for the Taubenheim
