Caro "Bandit"

Hi, I am Caro – a passionate long-distance hiker, cyclist and adventurer. When I’m outdoors, I’m happy. I hiked the diverse Arizona Trail, the iconic Pacific Crest Trail, the challenging Oregon Desert Trail, and 2025 was all about the Colorado Trail.

The terrain in and around Berlin – where I live – is flatter, but the Spreewald, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, and the Scottish moors are also great “playgrounds.” I explore the rivers and lakes with my packraft and the trails with my gravel bike.

As a Content Creator and Senior Editor for komoot, I’m not just planning my next adventure—I’m planning and experiencing yours, too. Whether it’s Berlin or the Grand Canyon—I’d love for you to follow my footsteps and recommendations.

After spending the last few weeks, or rather months, mainly on a boat and bike, today it's time for the hiking muscles to get some work. And they certainly let me know that they disapprove of being neglected.



With the goal of filling a few more non-pink spots on my heatmap, I take the S-Bahn for a good

It is wonderfully cloudy and at 25 degrees, a good ten degrees cooler than yesterday – what a relief! The predicted rain has skillfully avoided the strip where I had camped. At exactly 10 a.m., I swing back into the saddle. My destination today: the Elbe. Where, just under a week ago, my drone sank into

It's crazy what a difference the sport makes in the heat (for me).

35 degrees? "You would have already hiked more with a full backpack. Then graveling is also possible," I thought. Yeah, no. That was absolutely NOT possible. 🥵😅🔥



But from the beginning. The motivation was already questionable on Friday

“Don’t spend the night over there, there are wolves” – that was the well-intentioned advice of a fisherman last night as we were looking for a place to sleep. Wolves... well, maybe we’ll see some then, we think to ourselves... and set up our camp.



At 2 AM. There’s a rustling just five meters away from

A proud osprey, invasive Egyptian geese, tons of grey and great white egrets, screeching gulls and circling birds of prey – our third day on the Elbe is not just a culinary treat, but also an ornithological one. In any case, today, as we paddle through the Saxon wine region, there is plenty to see again

After leaving the enchanting Saxon Switzerland behind yesterday, today we head through Dresden's city center, along picturesque vineyards and quieter loops of the Elbe.



It's quite an enjoyable day. We let ourselves drift from time to time, especially past impressive historical buildings like Pillnitz

Today we are fulfilling a small dream of ours - and not even that far from our doorstep. In the almost countless times I have already visited the Elbe Sandstone Mountains for hiking, I always thought: "I'd like to get in a boat here and drift down the Elbe between the dramatic rock formations."

Runway 3 – the popular cycle path around Berlin Airport BER. The south runway has been open since July 10th and you glide over the finest asphalt. And on this stretch, it's even car-free! So I spontaneously grab my bike, hop on the S-Bahn and the Airport Express train FEX and check it out personally

Since I had already incorporated the Rusty Nail into my tour yesterday, we take our time starting. Only at 10 am do we launch the packrafts and paddle through

When you wander through this landscape with turquoise lakes and inviting sandy beaches today, it is hard to imagine that they are the relics of large-scale lignite mining. Where giant bucket-wheel excavators once reigned, you can now swim, cycle, and relax. And paddle. And that on a grand scale, because

I'm sitting in front of the screen for far too long during the week lately. That's why I consistently go outside on the weekends – this time again to Ostprignitz. The summer, however, is currently taking a break. 🌧️

"Stay home in the heat!"

"Do nothing at all!" - These are the good pieces of advice from the media these days. In my opinion, the wrong tactic, considering that these are probably temperatures we'll have to get used to sooner or later - even in Germany. So, let's get out there, backpack full of camping

Should I do this or not? A few years ago – four to be exact – I first learned that there was such a thing as Naked Hiking Day. And in 2022, I celebrated it nowhere else but on the Pacific Crest Trail. Not completely naked, but pretty darn naked. komoot.com/de-de/tour/823192627
