We completed the seventh and final hike on the German side again. The good weather continued, but the sun didn't stand a chance. A must-do hike in the Southern Eifel is the Devil's Gorge near Ernzen (where there's also a Dino Park). I moved the starting point of the suggested route (which usually starts

Our sixth hike begins in Echternach (Luxembourg). Contrary to the tour recommendation, we reserved the sightseeing section of Echternach for the end of the hike. This hike also leads past the typical rock formations in places (Wolfsschlucht Gorge and Aesbach Valley), but overall it is a more "easier

In beautiful, initially cool weather, we returned to Luxembourg's Switzerland on the fifth day of hiking. After the previous day's tour had so impressed us, we were pleasantly surprised that this less strenuous hike also offered many great moments. At several points, there are opportunities to climb

Beaufort hiking trail - B1
Eine wunderschöne abwechslungsreiche Runde mit mehreren Abschnitten recht verschiedener Charakteristik.
Gutes Schuhwerk sehr empfohlen, da es witterungsbedingt matschige Stellen geben kann.

The starting point of this truly beautiful fourth hike is Beaufort Castle.
Any fears that the castle is already the highlight of the tour are unfounded, as the circuit offers such a variety of sections that you'll never get bored. The final section is especially heartwarming, as the path runs directly

The third hike starts directly from the holiday apartment again, and we stay on the German side of the Sauer. Looking at the elevation profile, it occurs to me that one shouldn't have a particularly large bust or a hard-earned beer belly on the passage to the Devil's Hole. The crevice we have to pass

Less obscure to German ears, the turning point of today's hike in the so-called Luxembourgish Switzerland is the Schiessentümpel. A small waterfall that, for my taste, receives rather excessive attention. Entire busloads of people cascade here, so I saved myself the fight for the sweet spot for a photo

After arriving and settling into our vacation apartment in Bollendorf, we did a warm-up lap in the afternoon and were very impressed by the massive rock formations. That was a promising start.
Now that we've put high-mountain hiking on hold, we want to "set our sights on something smaller"—that is, explore

On my "just-go-forward" tour, on my way back from Werder, in the middle of nowhere, I came across THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS at a nice spot with benches and a table on the dike...
Puzzling. Is this art or...
Yes - may they not end so soon... I thought to myself as I continued on.
Shortly afterward, I stopped at

On my bike tour three years ago, I also stopped in Lemgo and was very impressed by the many well-preserved old and, in some cases, richly decorated half-timbered houses (komoot.com/de-de/tour/769327514).
I didn't get very good pictures of the market square because the market stalls were "in the way

After an involuntarily sleepless night, I got on my bike very early and just rode off, enjoying the still almost deserted nature.
In Bruchhausen-Vilsen, I had my first coffee and (thanks to my wife's e-bike, which I now occasionally "borrow" – now equipped with an extra-long seat post) enjoyed the "ironed

Groningen.
It's been ages since I was there.
A couple of friends planned a one-day trip there and invited us along. Given the beautiful weather, it was an offer hard to refuse.
A little stroll, snacking on a kipper at the market, a bit of shopping, watching the lively (bicycle) activity in the sidewalk

Intrigued by a cultural tip in the 3-Sat culture magazine, I checked how long it would take me to get to Düsseldorf with a D-Ticket. 3.5 hours one way with one change in Osnabrück seemed just about reasonable for a day trip. I'd never been to Düsseldorf before, so I got on the train very early and arrived

WHERE TO?
The selection of routes close to home that I haven't taken yet (and that are worth presenting here – not redundantly – is naturally getting smaller.
However, I had discovered a somewhat more distant tour in my planning fund, and I wanted to tackle it with my reactivated Germany ticket.
So I chose

Since the tour recording was accidentally stopped early on, I retraced my steps using the planning module.
The main reason for the tour was the installation of the new highlight in Kirchweyhe: the artistically redesigned tunnel to the tracks at Kirchweyhe station.
A real eye-catcher!
