Hiking from Langerfeld to Schwelm
September 21, 2025Today, Davy was supposed to organize a hike, but since the weather looked relatively bad, he didn’t want to do it anymore, so I took it over, and according to the weather, I made a relatively simple one at Schwelm. That’s an area we used to visit a lot before DeutschlandTicket was introduced, because that was pretty much the only one hilly place within the VRR area, which therefore we could still visit for free. Today it was a handy destination, because it was nearby, and I could offer a restaurant at Beyenburg, where we were going to have a…
Hiking around Detmold!
It’s been a few months now since Hilal moved to Osnabrück. Still, probably because he struggles to find new contacts in the small city there, he comes back very often to Düsseldorf and surrounding areas and also sometimes he organizes…
Hiking around Schloss Burg

We came to Porta Westfalica relatively recently. The reason why we came here again was not only because it’s a nice area, but also because a few weeks ago Hilal moved to Osnabrück and still decided to organize a hike…
Hiking around Velbert and street food and music festival!
One of the events that make me feel that summer is here is the street food and music festival. People often mistake it with street food festival, but as the name suggests there is basically no music in the street…
Hiking from Hohenlimburg to Dahl
There was a huge personal achievement of mine last week: I ran a full marathon. I had tried it twice before, but every time I had to walk quite a significant amount of time. This time, I managed to run…
Hiking around Heimbach
It was already a few weeks ago that we started organizing this weekend’s hike. I was not particularly interested to organize one, but then it turned out that there were only Davy and me. I just knew that I was…
Tag der Steige – official hiking event of the city of Essen
Last year, there was this thing called Tag der Steige, which was the official inauguration of the Baldeneysteig, which is a hiking track that goes around the Baldeneysee. I was aware of this track, because someone had told me that…
Hiking around Altena
Yesterday was the last day of the Ramadan, meaning for people like Hilal it gets a lot easier to hike now. Also it’s getting a lot warmer these days, so we are ready to go a bit farther away. In…
