The Neandertalweg from Duisburg to Bensberg should rather be called "ex-X30". The path was officially abandoned by the SGV in 2024, so that the familiar X was only very rarely to be found. At least I discovered an apparently forgotten overview sign of the path. The stage itself initially leads through

With spring-like temperatures and a bright blue sky, we went to Herten Castle Park today to visit the meadow of 100,000 daffodils. The daffodils are now in full bloom. Afterwards, we walked a few more kilometers through the Emscherbruch nature reserve and in Herten's city center.

Why this particular route, you might ask? It can be explained by the condition of my feet, which currently can't tolerate uneven surfaces at all, so today's predominantly asphalt path was ideal. Furthermore, there was no strike on the bus route I used today, and I'd never been to Nijmegen before. Besides

The awful weather didn't deter us from visiting Soest's historic old town with its city walls, numerous half-timbered houses, narrow streets, churches, streams, and inviting places to eat and drink. We were very impressed by the whole scene and will definitely be back!

I happened to read about it in the newspaper and immediately put it into action: During the Soest Winter Lights festival, illuminations are skillfully staged at ten locations in the old town, which looks particularly good against the picturesque backdrop of half-timbered houses. Tomorrow we'll explore the old town in daylight.

Since the accident on December 30, 2025, this was my first hike without astronaut boots and walking aids. While I won't be back to my "normal" form for quite some time, today's hike was really good and, with two breaks, quite manageable.
Regarding the hike itself: Following familiar paths, I first walked

It could have been so lovely... Under a bright blue sky, we set off on our first tour in our holiday destination, Grafenau. Just before our rest stop at the reservoir, disaster struck: I wasn't paying attention for a second, slipped, and broke my ankle... So now it's time for some outdoor relaxation

Why not start a new hiking project? Given the unreliability of public transport with its numerous construction sites, line closures and short-term strikes, we need a little more choice of where to go next. This stage was very "pilgrim-like" with a high proportion of asphalt and long straight stretches
