We were really lucky with the weather. When we arrived at the starting point, we met lots of people coming towards us in rain gear and completely covered in mud. During our tour, the sun came out and we were able to enjoy the muddy puddles, as well as 1000 steps, elevation gain, and breathtaking views

In the absence of sandy beaches, the Madeirans have built natural swimming pools. The most famous ones are located in Porto Moniz in the far northwest of the island. This allows you to swim in pleasantly tempered water, relaxed and protected from the surf, and in one of the two natural pools, it is even free of charge.

I have already heard and seen a lot on radio and television about the hikes along the Levadas, the irrigation channels of Madeira. But you simply have to do it and see it for yourself: spectacular views, jungle vibes and a rushing mountain river are the basics. Added to this are some very narrow, exposed

We continued our tour of Funchal today in fantastic weather, after having to cut it short due to persistent rain. We took the cable car up to Monte. From there, you get a breathtaking view of the entire bay of Funchal. We had to skip the ride on the wicker toboggan due to the very long queue. So, we walked back down instead...

With a very pleasant 25 degrees, our walk through Funchal began. Then, a rainfall that lasted several hours started, alternating between steady rain and downpours. A pity, so the cable car ride and the Botanical Garden were washed out for today....

Finally, we were able to continue on this Camino de Santiago. After the battle with the heat in June, @derolli and I were met with a heavy downpour that only stopped shortly before the end of the tour. Otherwise, it was a very beautiful, albeit asphalt-heavy path that has now brought us from the Ruhr

This Urban Trail starts in Wattenscheid at the Lohrheide and then approaches the Rheinelbe spoil tip with its Himmelstreppe "from behind". As a native of Gelsenkirchen, I simply wanted to know what the planners had come up with. And - the result is quite satisfactory, the path even leads past our former

After the Urwaldsteig Edersee last weekend, I was in the mood for urbanity today. The new "Urban Trails" created by Ruhr Tourismus GmbH are ideal for this. There are currently 9 of them in various Ruhr area cities. I must say, despite my own experience of Bochum as a student and nightlife visitor, there

We changed this final stage in some places: changed direction and shortened the last loop for time reasons and rerouted over the dam because the trail doesn't lead there. On the other hand, we climbed into the Edersee in Bringhausen to see the remains of the sunken village there, very impressive! Conclusion

However, there are also points of criticism: on the public transport side, the connection
