Ore mountains 2005

A few rays of light come through the dense forest. Maybe we should have dug for the treasure there.

South-Tirol 2012

What do you do for the first hike on vacation? You start walking and see where you get to. At some point you have a goal and you can easily reach it. And because you still feel fit, everything is so new and interesting, you think you can go a little further on the way…

Ore mountains 2012

A multi-day hike through the Vogtland and Erzgebirge in Germany gave us this fantastic view at almost 900m altitude. The hike was almost exactly 10 years ago. I probably didn’t have a lot of emotions on the trek, as few details have stayed with me to this day. I still remember a lot of the…

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.

Sweden 2012 (3)

With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and camped wild. The nice thing about Sweden is, that it’s legal, hence no need to worry about being seen. And it’s nice to have water always close, a swim to wash…

Thuringia 2012

At the moment it looks like that outside again. Spring is here with warm days and awakening nature. I like the contrast between white flowers and green fields. It pulls me outside, also because you can rest comfortably again. After recently being able to take my fist long break on the grass without freezing for,…

Austria 2008

The day started for me with a little migraine. So we only took a short walk to the portal of the Tauern Tunnel. Luckily the effects of the migraine weren’t too bad and by midday things were getting better. The buddy I was on vacation with wanted to relax for the day, but in the…
