Today we were only six people, it was probably too hot, 31-32 degrees is not good for most of the hiking group, especially since the average age is well over 60 years. The heat then becomes quite strenuous. But we took regular drinking breaks along the way, reduced the pace a bit, and ended up covering

The longest day of the year, the longest journey so far ended yesterday, and there was the first hike in familiar territory. Nature has already changed a lot since we left in April. Everything is growing lushly, is green, and changes the landscape. The deer seemed more trusting this morning and stayed

The 60th and final day of our journey has dawned, and it was the 63rd tour during this time. We had booked a campsite directly on the Ems for the past night, so it was practically an invitation to hike along the Ems. There is a hiking trail on both sides of the Ems, but on the southern side heading east

The 62nd tour on the 59th day was, contrary to expectations, a small torture. We are near Limburg an der Lahn and the forest here is left in a wild and natural state by the Hessian forestry authority. Old forestry paths are being reclaimed by nature and overgrown, fallen trees remain as deadwood. This

The 58th day and Tour number 61 started from the parking spot, first into the vineyards and a bit uphill, to then walk through the Zeubelrieder Moor nature reserve. The landscape here near Würzburg is relatively flat or only gently hilly. After the vineyards, we passed by a wildlife park, which of course

Activity number 60 on the 57th day was a walk through the old town of Sommerhausen, which really seems beautifully dreamy and has many small alleys and well-preserved old buildings. Everything looks neat and tidy. But our real goal was a beer garden on the other side of the Main, which is said to have

Tour 59 on day 57 took place in Germany again. The long journey is drawing to a close. We have left the high mountains behind us, although I didn't know how flat it is in the surroundings of Augsburg. And at 6:00 in the morning, the church bells ring for a full 5 minutes. A lot of agricultural land

Tour 58 on day 55, led me to the next summit near the campsite, the Hohe Salve in Tyrol. 1100 meters of altitude up and down again. In the early morning without breakfast, it's already a challenge. I fought my way up for 4 hours, 2 hours were enough for the way back. The weather this morning was unfortunately

On the 54th day, the 57th tour took me to the Ötztal Nature Park. It was once again a real five-star tour, even though the ascent had up to 40% gradient and on the other side of the mountain, the descent into the valley also had up to 35% gradient. As soon as you got out of the forest and had a clear

Croz de l‘Anza Rossa, at least that was what the signage along my route was called. The 56th tour on the 53rd day was just a short hike, as we already had to check out of the pitch at 11:00 AM. The small summit, which I wanted to walk past, Sommi, was unfortunately not accessible, as it was too overgrown

The Tour 55 of day 52 was supposed to be a leisurely bike tour around the beautiful lake. But in parts, it became more of a journey of horror. And that despite the tour having been planned by a cycling app. The start of the tour was good at first, until the point when we crossed the main road (SS47

Tour 54 on day 52 started for me today at 4:30 a.m. Since I had decided to climb from Lago Caldonazzo to Monte Tamazol, I knew I would be on the move for at least 5 hours. Luckily, it gets light very early in June. I was even early enough to disturb a wild boar searching for food 20 m in front of me

Activity 53 on day 51 was just a short walk by Lake Caldonazzo after the somewhat longer drive from Chioggia. An excellent pitch with all services for a good price (25€), what more could you want. We are standing fantastically just a hundred meters from the lake and the surroundings are bordered by mountains

Tour number 52 on day 50 was supposed to run as close to the water as possible. Unfortunately, the gates from the campsite to the beach were not yet open when I set off, so I had to go onto the road first. The problem here is that the beach is almost entirely privately owned. This means that only about

With the extremely warm weather with temperatures over 30 degrees, I preferred to cycle to the meeting point of the hiking group today instead of walking. Besides, I had an appointment at the KVHS afterwards.
