From Werdringen Castle in Hagen Vorhalle, we headed along the Ruhr River to Volmerstein and back through the forested area on the slopes south of the A1. The castle houses a very nice little museum with natural history and archaeological treasures from the area, as well as a highly recommended little

Today we have added a little tour that I had planned years ago and since it is very hot we thought it would be appropriate.
It was very refreshing on the summit of Κάρταλος (Kartalos) and we enjoyed the view and our breakfast there.
We were also delighted by kestrels and griffon vultures that flew above

After we had to end the last tour before our actual destination, we walked from the other side to at least get a rough idea of where the path had led us.
We had a shepherd drive us up to Diplori and from there we walked to our missed destination, the Rouvas Alm with the associated forest. It is such an

Today was a successful and very beautiful continuation of the unfinished hike two days before, with wonderful views of nature. A really great compensation for Friday. We walked from Diplori to the Rouvas Alm and waited for our planned pick-up. There was still enough time to walk towards the abandoned

Finally a family hike on a section of the E4. Our two kids were a valuable help for the rather difficult hike (climbing section)! We started at the Nida Plateau and headed towards the Rouva Gorge. The surrounding backdrop of the plateau had an expressive character. Shortly before the final destination

Shit happens...
What was supposed to be an easy tour turned into a program that took more than a day and was once again a lesson in humility.
After a leisurely walk through the Nida plateau, we went into a gorge in the direction of Rouvas Alm, where we spent the next 6 hours looking for the way and just

Now the time had come.... I have been looking at this mountain range for about 10 years and wondering what it must be like to stand up there. It is fantastic 😍.
The barren beauty that surrounds this peak is indescribable, not to mention the view. Truly exhilarating.
The whole undertaking started at the

New year, new luck, new mountain tour on Crete.
A long-cherished dream has come true: crossing the Ida Mountains and climbing Psiloritis.
We started in Fourfouras and from there we followed the western route to the summit to the hut of the EOS Rethymnon mountain club.
As this hut unfortunately only opens

As the last hike for this Crete holiday, we have chosen the ascent of Kofinas.
This was probably already a spiritual place in the Minoan era (more on this in the Archaeological Museum of the Messara before Agioi Deka) and is still used today as the end point for a procession on an Orthodox holiday (if

Today we visited an old friend. The Rouvas Gorge. This time we started at Botomos Lake and not via the monastery of Moni Agios Nikolaos, since it is no longer desired to walk over the monastery, understandably. Very nice canyon, but with the heat that we are having in the Messara it is a bit sweaty

Now we started our main tour for this holiday. It was to the summit of Kedros at 1776m.
First of all, I would advise you not to start the tour like we did. Drive to the furthest point you can reach, i.e. to the 1.45km mark. Before that, it was barely passable.
I would also advise you to start at sunrise

Before we start our main hike of this holiday tomorrow, we have just inserted the Muloi Gorge today.
Really absolutely beautiful, great contrast to many other tours here on Crete.
Lots of water, ferns, lush vegetation, overgrown ruins of old mills and small waterfalls. A dream.
However, I would advise against

Mount Giouchtas, above the village of Archanes, has been a sacred site for the entire island of Crete since ancient times. According to mythology, the mountain's human-head-like shape is the head of the god Zeus, who is buried there. From the summit of Giouchtas, one has astonishing and unobstructed views in all directions.
