As breakfast was already included in the hotel room, we had a good excuse to start the day slowly. We met up at 8 a.m. and hit the buffet. Shortly afterwards, Maciek set off again as he had a somewhat tight schedule. I took my time to finish packing my things and did a bit…
Today our hiking group split up. Due to the bad weather and the ongoing thunderstorm warning, I wanted to get over the 2500 m high pass from France to Italy, which was still over 5 km away, as quickly as possible without missing a single meter of the trail. My parents, on the other hand,…
The rain lasted all night, but fortunately stopped when the call of nature drove me out of the tent to the toilet block. We had planned to start our day early and finish early at a campsite after just 13 km. The weather was set to deteriorate again – not only rain, but also thunderstorms…
On the first day, we headed to the starting point from the campsite where we had spent the night and where we wanted to park our car for the next eight days. This was a little frustrating, as we had already walked past here the evening before on our way to the supermarket. However, you…
The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) requires a good level of physical fitness and, in some places, surefootedness. With an altitude difference of around 10,000 meters, the TMB is definitely strenuous, but the breathtaking views of glaciers, mountain lakes and alpine valleys quickly make up for this. Thanks to the good infrastructure, it is possible…

We are now back from our tour on the Camino Primitivo, and I wanted to discuss our equipment with…
Our last day started with a steep climb out of Elkering. Until we reached a road. Incidentally, the source of the Ruhr is not very far from here. So if you like, you can take a little detour. However, we didn’t do this as I had already cycled the Ruhr Valley cycle path in 2020…
This was our longest stage at around 30 km. First of all, we had to pack everything up again and descend from the campsite to the actual route of the Winterberg Hochtour. Once we arrived at the Mollseifen barbecue hut, the short ascent to Mollseifen began. After Mollseifen, the route often follows the same paths…
Our day started with heavy rain. Once we were out of Winterberg, we took refuge in a bus stop and put on our rain pants. However, it took us so long to do so that we were soon able to take them off again, as the rain had already stopped. Although the ascent to the…
Originally, we had planned a relaxed hike from Siedlinghausen to Winterberg, a short walk of less than 20 kilometers that would take us to the campsite where we wanted to spend the night. But unfortunately, the weather in the Sauerland wasn’t the only thing that didn’t really want to play along at the beginning of…
