Hiking from Dortmund to Witten
Again, we got a problem with the German railway, although this time maybe we shouldn’t be blaming them too much. There was a bridge that collapsed at Wuppertal. I was aware of this accident yesterday, but it was only when…
Hiking around Engelskirchen!
Summer is unpredictable. Especially the beginning of it. Compared to this, late summer is more or less stable – a lot of rain and sudden drop of temperature. We could witness the same tendency this week. It’s autumn, bringing a…

In the last couple of weeks, I tried to organise a hike around a lake or a river, in the hope that we’d be able to enjoy the water when it gets really hot. It never got really hot. With…
