    Hiking around Herchen

    Technology is (sometimes) really great. Now as we move ahead, I sometimes really feel it. I’m basically talking about the new chat bot that I wrote recently, which creates hiking events automatically. Now you can see different announcements on my…

    Hiking around Overath

    This week, all the other organizers are somehow elsewhere, and so there was not so much pressure on me to organize a challenging hike. So I put one in Overath, which lies right next to Cologne. It’s an area that…
