Hiking

Wooded hills, the River Weser and small timber-framed towns make up a landscape that does not need to be loud to leave an impression.

Woodland, limestone and open views give the Süntel its distinctive character. Hohenstein and Hohe Egge are two landmarks of this part of the Weser Uplands.

Wooded hills close to Hannover: the Deister offers space for a short break outdoors as well as a longer day on foot.

A long ridge of woodland and distinctive rock formations: the Ith is a hiking region of its own, combining quiet paths with open views.

Wooded hills and views across the Leinebergland: the area around Alfeld is another place where I go walking.

Woodland, ridges and local history: Lipperland is one of my walking regions.

Woodland paths, ridge routes and viewpoints: the Wiehengebirge adds another landscape to my hiking map.

Water, lakeside paths and moorland: Lake Steinhude adds another landscape to the hiking regions around Hannover.

This is where I was born. Heathland, woodland and open views connect my roots with my enjoyment of walking.

Moorland near Torfhaus, the route to the Brocken and the Wurmberg near Braunlage: three perspectives on the Harz.

Dunes, beaches and an open horizon: Ouddorp on Goeree-Overflakkee offers long walks beside the Dutch North Sea.

Wide beaches, dunes and salt marshes on Eiderstedt, with a look at Westerheversand lighthouse.

Finnish forest lakes, rocky terrain and quiet paths: Nuuksio brings the outdoors close to the Helsinki metropolitan area.

Snow, soft light and open fell landscapes: Saariselkä in winter and neighbouring Urho Kekkonen National Park.

Alpine pastures, valleys and the distinctive peaks of the Dolomites: South Tyrol combines mountain scenery with space for a thoughtful approach to the outdoors.

In 2024 and 2025 I walked on the Munich–Venice Dream Trail. My section ran from Benediktbeuern to Belluno.

On the Grande Traversata delle Alpi I walked from Lake Orta to the Aosta Valley. This long-distance walk has its own place here.

The Alps are a landscape, a habitat and a place shaped by weather. A good day in the mountains begins before the first step.

A good break leaves room to notice your surroundings. Not every hike needs a personal record or a published route.
