After a forced break of almost three weeks, the Nister Valley starting at Marienstatt Abbey served as a test run for a short hike today...water from above, water on the paths, plenty of water beside the paths, and water to drink...all in all, a wet day 😅...but as always, it was lovely to walk in that

Inspired by @Micha 🌲's zoo photos, I had to go there again 😉 Everything was green again at home, but beyond Weilburg, it was still wet and wintry. With a lovely little companion, I went for a short, damp walk from the B456 down towards Hirschhausen and through the always beautiful zoo... even though

A short, beautiful, and very frosty Westerwald loop starting in Seck, past the frozen Seck ponds to the always stunning Holzbach Gorge 😉 There was hardly anyone there; I think the partially very icy paths deterred some people from going through 🤔 Beautiful and thoroughly frozen, without a ☕️🍰 at the

Kroppach Switzerland, what more needs to be said? 😉 Always a wonderful hiking area, no matter where you're starting from or going to 🫠 I would have loved to hike a bit further 🚶‍♂️, but the waffles at Wilhelmssteg were taking their sweet time 😄 but they were delicious as always 😋

After the super-cold early morning walk this morning at 6:30 in a crisp -12 degrees Celsius, I headed to Rotenhain again at midday... under a bright sun through a true winter wonderland ☺️ Wonderfully deep snow-covered forests on beautiful paths along the Wied river to Dreifelden, from there along the

A wonderful snowshoe hike from Nisterau via Stockhausen-Illfurth to the Bacher Lay. It was relatively cold, but mostly beautifully sunny. The Bacher Lay is always worth a visit, even if the ice walls weren't really visible today due to the snow. However, on the way back to Nisterau, there was a magnificent

A short end-of-year hike from Odersberg to the Leyenbach waterfall and on to the Adolf Weiß memorial at Knoten. We had it all today: brilliant sunshine with icy winds, dense fog, and sleet... a lovely last hike of 2025 😉



I wish you all a happy new year! 😀

Christmas hike above the Lahn River...a wonderful hike in fantastic weather from Cramberg to Gabelstein, then on towards Steinsberg and over the rocks on the hillside to Hohe Lay. Amazing views of the Lahn and Rupbach valleys at every turn. Then back across meadows and fields. It got cold and dark, but

My obligatory Christmas Eve afternoon run 🫠...a short loop through the Gelbach and Eisenbach valleys today...always a lovely run 👍😉

Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, and above all, relaxing Christmas holiday 🫠

The expected visitor didn't show up, and I didn't want to wait... so I bandaged my foot again and headed out in the glorious weather... from Hilgert I hiked uphill, past the rock formation and the beautiful biotope to the Landshuter Weiher... always lovely there 😉... up through sun-drenched countryside
