I have found it helpful to prepare hikes calmly and stay open to changing conditions along the way. Here I share personal experiences and ideas that help me, from an easy hike to a multi-day mountain trip.
Weather
What does the day feel like outdoors? Choose Hannover-Ricklingen or Rodenberg, or select one of the other cities. You can also search for your own location. The twelve-day forecast helps you plan ahead.
Sky calendar
What is happening in the sky today? Choose Hannover-Ricklingen or Rodenberg, or select one of the other cities. You can also search for your own location. Information is calculated for your chosen location and its local time.
Astronomy
Beyond the next mountain lies another horizon – and a whole sky above it. Stars, the Moon and special celestial events invite us to stay outdoors, look more closely and see things from a different perspective.
