In the summer of 2020, I took a multi-day hike along the Rheinsteig, Germany. I hiked in picturesque scenery along various vineyards and the Loreley cliff. Unfortunately, the summer temperatures made the trip very sweaty.

I started hiking the Rennsteig from Eisenach in April 2022. With tarp and small luggage, it went a few days through the Thuringian Forest, beautiful views, great experiences and nice acquaintances included.

In early November 2022, I tried to ascend the Zugspitze over the via ferrata “Stopselzieher”. Even though it didn’t work out and I had to turn back, it was a beautiful tour.

The last third of our hike was really exciting: Awesome landscape, strong storms, evacuated areas and a sandstorm. This completes our Iceland hike but also leaves some long-term changes.

Accompanied by rain, fog and wind, we went on through the worlds largest volcanic rift Eldgjá and along the river Skaftá heading north.

After we left civilization behind us, the landscape became more and more interesting and beautiful. Besides nice waterfalls and rivers, there was also bad weather and quicksand.

In the summer of 2018, we spent three weeks hiking in the south of Iceland. Already the first few days were very eventful.
