Scotland 2017 (3)
We had actually attempted to climb Stac Pollaidh twice. The first time from the back, without a path. It was nice, but also quite exhausting, as the greenery is not just grass. So we returned back before it got steep. The second time we went up the hiking trail on the south side. Because of…

Norway 2014 (9)
After crossing the Divielva we hiked up for some time through idyllic forests. But it was also nice to have a wide view again at some point.

Norway 2014 (8)
According to the map we expected a bridge, but only found a ford. It wasn’t the first we had to cross, the nice thing was that the sun was shining this time. The only problem was that we only had one pair of sandals. This was always allowed to be worn by those who wanted…

Spain 2017
I had the chance to visit friends in Spain. And so, at the beginning of March, this hike in the Sierra de Huetor National Park took place with not exactly the best weather and yet it was already very spring-like. There was a lot of change in the landscape again, from olive groves through dry…

Norway 2014 (7)

But on the other side it was the third day walking with a heavy backpack, the landscape was barren, it was uphill, the clouds hang low,…

The was the second day of our hike in Norway, and it just looked lovely. The rest the night before was good, especially after a refreshing (very short) bath in one of the small ponds next to the hut. The views were just wonderful.

La Palma 2014 (3)
In March I was scheduled to work a few days on the highest mountain of La Palma. While I left home at sea level at 20°C, I found an amazing landscape on the mountain. The water of the clouds the days before froze to everything, slowly forming large sideways icicles, showing the wind direction.

Norway 2014 (4)
During our hiking trip in Norway, we saw larger animals only twice. And both times it were only reindeer. When we rented the key for the huts, we were told to be aware of the bears, and it was really nice not to see them. The reindeer were quite shy, staying away of us. People…
