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 on 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.

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

The first three days of our travel were very exciting and we experienced a lot of things.
