After all the hiking I have done in the past year, it wasn’t all easy to come back to Germany and look for a new job. I thought I would find out in one year, what my real passion is, but instead I started just looking for the obvious jobs as marketing manager in often…

Kungsleden part 3. Rain.
Kungsleden day 5. 19km. What a treat to sleep in a warm place, but of course there’s no radio silence as the last nights with so many people sleeping here and getting up at 5.30am. It’s foggy and rainy outside so I decide that I will only walk some 15km out of the 19km to…
Kungsleden part 2. Golden autumn.
Kungsleden day 3. 26km. I can’t believe that I actually slept well, waking up just twice, shortly thinking that my nose is cold but then sleeping again. It’s about 3 degrees Celsius inside my tent but outside it must be below as my tent is frozen white outside. Luckily I have the additional layer of…
Kungsleden, the King’s Trail
One of the most famous trails in Sweden is the Kungsleden in the very north. The Northern Kungsleden is the popular one, stretching about 450km from Abisko to Hemavan. It’s been on my bucket list for a while and since I was already in Sweden for the Jåmtland Outdoor Experience, I wanted to hike at…
JOE trekking experience. Days 3-5.
JOE day 4 Ugh, another wake up call at 6.30am after a bad night of sleep. The tent is tiny and of course under the current weather conditions a lot of condensation occurred over night, so the ends of my sleeping bag are wet as well. But a beautiful day is coming up, the sky…
JOE trekking experience in Sweden. Day 1&2
JOE day 1 Wake up call at 6.30am after a difficult night of sleep was a bit hard, but we had 2h to pack up and have breakfast before starting, so enough time to wake up. Our first stop is at the Lundhags factory and outlet. Here, a handful of employees are still producing and…
Up to new adventures
12 weeks of city life in Berlin was enough to wake up again my longing to go outdoors, hike, camp, live again the simple and happy life outdoor. I enjoyed to the fullest being back in my flat, seeing friends and family, eating when and what I want, be clean, live in a clean place,…
Biking the Berlin Wall Trail
Returning to Berlin was wonderful. Just like coming home should be like, with good friends it feels as if you have never been away. After two weeks of meeting friends and family, enjoying a clean place to stay, eating loads of food I missed while travelling, going running, hanging out on a barbecue boat, I…
A week of via ferrata in the Brenta Dolomites – Part 2
Day four starts with clear blue sky and and a beautiful sunrise, but there is a hefty wind out there. We head uphill, it’s an impressive surrounding with all the Dolomite towers but the trail is very stony and exhausting plus some climbing. Plus the wind which is strong and cold. Then finally the actual…
Via Ferrata week in the Brenta Dolomites – Part 1
Last Friday it was finally time to meet my friend Peggy in Trento for our week of ferrata in the Brenta. This mountain group is one of the most famous for the impressive via ferrate. After picking up Peggy we drove to Madonna di Campiglio, talking and talking about everything that happened in Berlin since…
Lago di Sorapis – the hidden gem
After yesterday’s very long hiking day I was looking for something nice but shorter to end my stay in the Drei Zinnen area. My hotel owners have a special recommendation, the lake Lago di Sorapis. It’s supposed to have a unique colour and setting. Although it’s again a 45km drive, I am setting out for…
Drei Zinnen – Tre Cime and much more
It’s been a while that the Drei Zinnen are on my to do list. I already was very close when hiking from Venice to Munich, but now I am finally getting there. I am also hoping that end August there are less visitors… I am up early and start immediately after breakfast as it’s 45minutes…
