Hiking

River bends, wooded ridges and historic timber-framed towns bring nature and history close together in the Weser Uplands.

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.

Beech woods, ridge paths and lookout towers make the Deister a nearby destination with many different perspectives.

Limestone cliffs, a narrow ridge and beech woodland give the Ith its distinctive character.

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.

A long wooded ridge and the Weser gorge at Porta Westfalica shape the Wiehen Hills.

Water, reeds and wetlands make Lake Steinhude a place for broad views and attentive wildlife watching.

I was born here. Lüneburg Heath connects familiar landscapes with the pleasure of discovering new paths.

Granite, sea and changing light shape the coastal paths of Brittany’s Pink Granite Coast.

Lakes, rock and woodland bring Finnish nature close to Helsinki in Nuuksio National Park.

In 2024 and 2025 I walked part of the Munich–Venice Dream Trail with a group, from Benediktbeuern to Belluno.

In 2026 I walked the Grande Traversata delle Alpi with a group from Lake Orta to the Aosta Valley, on the Italian side of the Alps.

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