This was a challenging stage (due to the route and also the weather).
The route out of Schüsselburg to the other side of the Weser was not pleasant: back on the country road, running on the grass verge, with cars speeding past at 100 km/h. After that, I tried to run directly along the Weser dike, but

This was another great stage, but the path to Schlüsselburg unfortunately dragged on quite a bit at the end. Especially since I thought I'd already reached Schlüsselburg at Gut Neuhof, before I reached the waterway (before I looked at the map and realized I was still 4 km away).
So I started in the morning

Today was a stage that really thrilled me! It was truly wonderful and incredibly beautiful, with so much variety. The first few kilometers through the Mariensee monastery forest were a dead straight line, but I still enjoyed the pleasantly cool forest air. Then came the small village of Eilvese, where

Today's hike was a risk, as the weather forecast predicted rain and/or thunderstorms. And sure enough, I was caught in a heavy shower at the end of the tour.
I drove to Schwarmstedt in the morning and had my Brompton with me so I could outrun a thunderstorm if necessary. However, I was lucky in that the

This morning, I first had to take the train from my overnight stop in Waldsrode back to Hodenhagen. My day's stage began there. Hodenhagen also had some lovely spots to offer, including an old village center with lots of half-timbered houses. Then I crossed to the other side of the Aller River, and after

It was perfect hiking weather when I started my next leg of the hike after spending the night in Bad Fallingbostel: blue skies, not a single cloud, and 20 degrees Celsius. This leg also ran parallel to the A7 for several kilometers, but this time there weren't as many open fields between me on the highway

From now on, I'll probably hike the Way of St. James either for several days or even a week at a time, because it simply doesn't make sense anymore to arrive at the starting point tomorrow and then travel home from the destination in the evening. So this morning I took the train to Soltau – a very beautiful

Today I walked the second part of the Green Ring, starting from Niendorf-Markt under blue skies and sunshine, guided through the first allotment gardens, and then past Fuhlsbüttel Airport toward the Alster Lake. This time of year is, of course, particularly beautiful because everything is in such lush

Today I set off early, at 7:30 a.m., into the city, taking the S-Bahn to Klein-Flottbek. From there, I went down to the Teufelsbrück pier on the Elbe, where I took a long look at the water, the clouds, and the ships. Tarik Rose's Café Engel was unfortunately still closed. Apparently, the Ice Saints are

The weather was sensational again, even if the wind was still a bit cold in the morning; the night before it had probably only been a few degrees above zero. This was still clearly noticeable when I left the house at 7:30 a.m. By 10:30 a.m., when I arrived in Schneverdingen by train, it was already considerably

How wonderful that the Easter weather is getting better day by day. Even Easter Sunday was still quite nice in the end, and this afternoon on Easter Monday was even more promising! So, after numerous family get-togethers these days, I quickly got out, at least for a little hike on my doorstep. I really

I felt the need to take another walk through and around the Himmelmoor (Quickborn) because I still think it's a very special moor. I lived in the Pinneberg district for 20 years, and the Himmelmoor was right on my doorstep. That's why I visited it often and was always fascinated by the contrast between

Today was again sensational hiking weather, so I tackled the next stage. I started at St. Magdalene's Church in Undeloh (just after 8:00 a.m.). On the way to Wilsede, I was still completely alone at that time; only one or two empty horse-drawn carriages passed me. In Wilsede, I took my time, exploring

The first part of this section to Hanstedt was very scenic, with forests, many small streams, and old mill buildings.
I picked up my next pilgrim stamp at the Hanstedt church.
However, after the climb near Höllenberg and Kerkstieg, the scenery became a bit more boring, as it was just straight through the

This final leg from Petershagen to Porta Westfalica was once again quite a challenge. Unfortunately, I was a bit pressed for time because it was my last day of vacation and I had to catch the booked train from Porta Westfalica back to Hamburg in the evening. So I brought my Brompton folding bike with
