Today we did another tour with my son's family. We started in Cupabia. We followed the Mare e Monti Sud, and the path, to our delight, was shaded by trees. Very soon the path became exciting, because we could work our way upstairs over stones and roots. Here my granddaughter, at two and a half years

After hiking the GR 20 in 2022, I felt a certain longing for the mountains this year. @Joe Bloom joined me, who was in the Corsican mountains for the first time; therefore, the choice fell on Monte Renoso, which at 2352 m above sea level is quite easy to climb.
After the drive over the narrow, winding

When you are already on the west coast, you can also take the opportunity to watch one of the beautiful sunsets.
In Campomoro there is one of the many towers that the Genoese had built around Corsica to protect the island. We were too late for a visit, but that wasn't the plan either.
There is a beautiful

Corsica offers numerous hiking opportunities, both long-distance trails like the Mare a Mare, Tra Mare e Monti or the GR 20.
But also an countless variety of shorter routes; there is something for every taste.
For example, today's tour. Starting from the Barrage de L‘Ospedale (Corsican: Matrale d’U Spidali

I think Corsica is always worth a trip. This time with children and grandchildren, we undertook a first tour today.
Summer conditions initially motivated us for a shorter tour.
We started at the (now paid - 1.70 per hour) parking lot in St. Lucie de Porto-Vecchio. The trail leads directly along the river

Today's hike had long been slumbering in my planned tours; I took it over from @Jingle Bells.
And following her recommendation, I drove there for sunrise.
First off: it will be a long comment, but it's due to my enthusiasm.
The start is in Mörsdorf, which has adapted very well to tourism. Free parking is

After a lot of Bergisches, I felt like something different. So I chose Herdecke for today; I could combine it perfectly with a visit to my father. I took over the tour from Christian.
I started from P 2 (parking is limited to four hours with a parking disc, which I "risked") and quite quickly found myself

Preliminary: Today's hike was a bit reminiscent of Iceland; not because of the landscape, but because of the constant switching between putting on and taking off the rain jacket. 😂
But let's take it step by step. We started in cozy Odenthal, along the Dhünn - past the Historical Mill Collection (which

After yesterday's really beautiful hike, I wanted to explore the Bergisches Land again in the fresh spring green. For this, I chose one of my favorite tours.
From the Schöllerhof, I first took the path to the old powder mill, but then walked along the orographically right bank of the Dhünn. The path

I hadn't been around the Altenberger Dom for a while, so why not start there? On the forest and nature educational trail, I walked along the Pfengst and Schmeisig streams and further up to Schmeisig.
From there, I went down into the Hasselsiefer Valley, along the path blooming with broom, one of them

🇮🇹 Lago di Como - Parco della Val Sanagra
Heute bin ich nochmal an der Haustür unserer Ferienwohnung gestartet, wieder über die alte Römerstraße, die Antica Via Regina, nur diesmal in die andere Richtung. Dabei komme an der Villa Vigoni vorbei, die ein Frankfurter Unternehmer (Heinrich Mylius) 1829 kaufte und aufwändig umbauen ließ, um dort eine Kunstsammlung bedeutender Künstler…

For my last hike in Corsica, I had planned a combination of the "local mountain" of Calvi, Capu di a Veta (703 m above sea level), and the Revellata peninsula. I'm not claiming to always have good ideas, but with a Mediterranean 33° C (in the shade, mind you, which was scarce on the route) it probably
