This is Wolfgang, the squirrel. Unfortunately he is too quick for me. Anybody with hints how I could lure him into standing still for some seconds?

Brandenburg By Boat: Marvelous Müggelspree

19. July 2018 hikeminded2 Comments

We made a family excursion by canoe along river Spree and the wild Müggelspree which is highly recommendable. We went from Fürstenwalde to Hangelsberg, which means we went with the flow but anyway: you can’t do it without effort. You have to have at least one sporty guy/girl on board :-).

You can rent a boat here.

Gallery9. July 2018 hikeminded8 Comments

This was our last day in the Peak District and with our friends, who left for their honeymoon to Majorca the next day, and we had only the morning for a short hike because we had to leave for the airport in the afternoon.

Every weather is fine and we had a car. So nothing to complain about. As we always did, we stopped in nearly every village to have a short walk around and we took a lot of stops on the road to stare down the abysses of the canyon which is thrilling and daunting at the […]

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur: Hiking around Moustier-Sainte-Marie

15. June 2018 hikeminded1 Comment

In Moustier-Sainte-Marie, on a beautiful hot morning, we took a little hike uphill through the flower fields and had some great views just up to Lac Sainte Croix and on this enchanted village build on the foot of its protecting mountain. Goal to this hike was a little chapel called Notre Dame de Beauvoir. You can see it from the village and it’s an ancient, dark and really silent place where you can still hear centuries of pilgrims praying for a better tomorrow.
