We started this year by hiking the Heidschnuckenweg from south to north in short weekend tours. The 13th stage, or rather our first, took us from Celle to Dehningshof and practically marked the start of the trail. Hiking on the Heidschnucken Trail From Celle train station, we first made our way to the castle, which…

The evening before our hike on the Heidschnucken Trail, we spent the night in our little Caddy in the parking lot in Oberohe. As there was still some time left before the sun went down, we explored the area. Three hiking trails started right at the parking lot, and we chose the short 3.2 km…

During our autumn vacation in Latvia, we also made a stopover in the Gauja National Park. I actually had big plans: I wanted to go canoeing in the Gauja National Park, go on a multi-day hiking tour, visit the castle in Cēsis and find lots of mushrooms. Unfortunately, as always, the vacation was too short…

The trailhead of the Opal Hills Trail is located at Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. The starting point is best reached from the top of the three large parking lots located at Maligne Lake. Although these are relatively large, they may be full during the season and at weekends. Hiking in Jasper National Park…

The Mary Schäffer Loop in Jasper National Park is named after the first female tourist to experience the beauty of Maligne Lake without encountering any other tourists. About half of the trail runs directly along Maligne Lake, which was still partially covered in ice in the first week of June. The hike is very easy…

The short hiking tour through Maligne Canyon is one of the few hikes in Jasper National Park that can be done relatively early in the year, i.e. at a time when other tours are still closed due to snow. In winter, it is even possible to go on guided hikes through the canyon. You can…

Short hike right next to beautiful Lake Louise in Banff National Park. If you are on a Canadian vacation in Banff National Park, you should definitely pay a visit to Lake Louise. If you want to avoid large crowds of tourists, it’s best to do this out of season and get up a little earlier….

Short hike to the 1692 m high Tunnel Mountain, from where you have a very nice view over Banff and the surrounding area. The trail is very easy to walk and not very demanding, but as you are climbing a mountain, most of the time it is only uphill. The trailhead can be reached in…

Anyone visiting Banff National Park will certainly want to visit Lake Louise. So it makes sense to pay a visit to the beautiful Moraine Lake and hike along the shore on the Moraine Lakeshore Trail. Moraine Lake is a lake at an altitude of around 1800 m, which is fed by various glaciers. The actual…

Johnston Canyon is located in Banff National Park between Banff and Lake Louise on the Bow Valley Parkway (1A) and is a really beautiful place and unfortunately anything but an insider tip. But despite heavy visitor traffic, you shouldn’t miss the canyon with its waterfalls, and the few extra kilometers to the Ink Pots are…
