At 466 m, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine is certainly no competition for Mt. Everest, and in other respects, too, this elevation is not particularly impressive. Cadillac Mountain is nevertheless something special – its 466 m are enough to make it the highest mountain on the North American Atlantic coast. The exposed…
A lovely hike through the vineyards to two castle ruins. The tour starts right at our campsite in the small town of Barr and soon leaves it towards the vineyards. After a few kilometres, easy forest tracks lead to the Château du Haut-Andlau, which is still owned by the Andlau family to this day. An…
Lake Garda – a gorgeous lake and Alpine panorama and a true paradise for all outdoor fans! For everyone who enjoys climbing, hiking or mountain biking, the varied landscape offers a multitude of cycling and hiking trails. The eastern shore of the lake, with the towering Monte Baldo range, is particularly impressive.
In February of this year I went on a backpacking trip through Scandinavia with a friend, and alongside all the other touristy stuff you do on a trip like that, we decided to go on a short hike in Sweden. As our hostel was in Stockholm and we were on a rather tight schedule, we…
Our last stage of the Berlin High Trail, heading towards Finkenberg, mainly followed lovely and easy forest paths. Apart from the large amount of elevation you have to descend, there are no difficulties. The trail actually ends right in Finkenberg, but we had decided to cover the way back to the car on foot as…
The last demanding stage on the Berlin High Trail – or the first, depending on where you start – stretches over just under 14 km to the Gamshütte. It is peppered with narrow grassy paths and a few short scrambles. There is no wire-rope protection anywhere on the route.
We combined two stages in one go, as the distance between the Olperer Hütte and the Friesenberghaus is very short. It was nevertheless probably the most relaxing day of the tour. There were no exposed scrambling sections, and the number of sweat-inducing climbs was limited too. First we descended towards the Schlegeis reservoir and followed…
From the Alpenrose the trail climbs steadily towards the Schönbichler Horn, which is quite strenuous. On this stage in particular it was really warm, and we worked up a good sweat. If it looks like the weather is going to be really fine, you should set off as early as possible so as not to…
After investing a large part of our money in beer, we treated ourselves to a rest day at the Greizer Hütte, just so we could tackle the trail with full energy again afterwards. We followed the path from the hut down into the valley and walked straight towards the mountain opposite. There we began the…
After the strenuous tour of the previous day, a very leisurely hike to the Greizer Hütte awaited us today. The trail leads to the other side of the valley, but without crossing it first. So you walk without any major climbs and with a magnificent view as far as the Lapenscharte. Along the way you…
