Oh, almost forgot #silentsunday!
My last hike led me to this summit which is usually very well visited.
But given the weekday & weather, I was totally alone while I was up there. Noone around. No human made sound. Just me and nature. It felt so much like real freedom.

'Pfade und Wege' / 'paths and ways' (? Or trails 🤔) #FotoVorschlag
Yes, that's a topic for me again 😉
This is from a trail that I did a couple of times already in different seasons. And this sections just offers such a cool view to the south.
The trail itself varies quite a bit in all terms - which I totally like. Well - enjoy!

A scenic hiking trail winds its way through a rugged, mountainous landscape, inviting adventurers to explore its natural beauty. The trail, composed of gravel and dirt, cuts a clear path through the terrain, bordered by dry grass and patches of green shrubs. The ground is uneven, with scattered rocks and roots adding texture and a sense of adventure to the journey. On either side of the trail, the landscape is dotted with a mix of evergreen trees and leafless shrubs, their branches reaching ou…

The latest piece of research by the Swiss Seismological Service, published summer 2025, links swarms of small tremors beneath Mont Blanc in the European Alps to rapid thawing of ice and snow during a heatwave in 2015.
Percolating downwards, the extra water eventually found its way into a major fault zone that slices through the 12km-long (7-mile) Mont Blanc Road Tunnel, lubricating it and causing it to shift sufficiently to trigger a burst of low-level seismic activity. The occurrence of small tremors has since remained elevated, substantially hiking the risk of bigger quakes in the future.

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

So of course it's a grand day for pulling on our warmest outdoor walking gear and heading over to the Peak District.
We're experienced enough winter hikers that we know our limits: we'll be staying well away from any moor tops or anywhere that the footpaths are completely obscured by snow. But we're hoping for some glorious winter scenery in the valleys and the lower hills.

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

A narrow, winding trail meanders through a dense, misty forest, its path carpeted with a thick layer of vibrant green moss. Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise high above, their branches intertwining to form a natural canopy that filters the soft, diffused light. The air is cool and damp, filled with the earthy scent of moss, pine, and the faint hint of mist that lingers among the trees. The forest floor is a lush tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen branches, their surface…

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

I'm just walking a bit after I was hiking a local mountain. And this is really a #silentsunday photo for me.
Winter has arrived 😊

A serene winter landscape unfolds as the sun begins to set, casting a warm, golden glow across a tranquil river. The river, partially covered in a thin layer of ice, reflects the soft light of the setting sun and the bare branches of the surrounding trees. The trees, stripped of their leaves, stand tall and stark against the pale blue sky, their silhouettes adding a sense of calm and stillness to the scene. The riverbank is dusted with a light layer of snow, creating a delicate contrast with t…

Ahhwm almost forgot that it is #MountainMonday ! So I quickly discarded my previous idea and share another photo from Saturday's #hiking adventure.
I was a bit surprised by the chill wind at the top but I had a great day. The best is that it was also quite some training for my legs a…

A majestic summit unfolds beneath a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the landscape. At the peak, a wooden cross stands tall, serving as a focal point and symbol of achievement for those who reach this breathtaking viewpoint. The cross is surrounded by a small group of hikers, their figures silhouetted against the stunning backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountain ranges. The panoramic view stretches out in layers of forested ridges and valleys…

My take for #silentSunday . Seen yesterday from the summit that I was #hiking to. I had to zoom in quite a bit to capture this distant scene.
Whenever I see a trailrunner passing me with his ultralight / small backpack, I'm wondering why I'm carrying that heavy gear up those mounta…

A sea of soft, billowing clouds stretches out beneath a dramatic mountain landscape, their fluffy white peaks gently undulating like waves. The mountains rise majestically from the cloud cover, their rugged silhouettes softened by the misty atmosphere. Layer upon layer of forested ridges and peaks fade into the distance, creating a sense of depth and scale that feels almost infinite. The scene is serene and ethereal, with the clouds obscuring the lower slopes and adding an air of mystery to th…

Plan C turned out to be a nice day in the mountains. But Woah was there a chill wind. Good that I was prepared.

Two curious cows stand side by side on a gentle, grassy slope, their coats a mix of rich brown and white patches. Their eyes are bright and inquisitive, reflecting a sense of calm and gentle curiosity as they face the camera. The cows, adorned with yellow ear tags, seem at ease in their natural surroundings, their breath visible in the cool, crisp air. The landscape around them is a blend of open pasture and rolling hills, dotted with a few scattered trees and framed by a dense forest in the b…
A breathtaking panoramic view unfolds under a vast, clear blue sky, where rolling hills and dense forests stretch out toward the horizon. The foreground is a gentle, sunlit slope covered in golden grass, leading the eye toward clusters of evergreen trees that dot the landscape. Their deep green needles contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the grass and the vibrant blue of the sky. In the distance, layer upon layer of forested hills and mountains rise, their peaks softened by a delicate …

It's been a day with a lot of input. The absolute opposite of this where I was completely alone.
#FootpathFriday #photography #nature

Nestled within a lush, evergreen embrace, this serene forest trail invites hikers into a tranquil wilderness. The narrow, winding path—strewn with small rocks and bordered by vibrant green grass—gently ascends through a dense canopy of towering pine and fir trees. Their rich, dark needles contrast beautifully with the bright greenery underfoot, creating a soothing palette of forest hues. Sunlight filters softly through the overhead branches, casting dappled shadows on the trail and highlighti…

10.2km nonstop fasting hike in the prairie by the lake on Tuesday at sunrise. Great views throughout. Felt good to return to the trails after a long time. 🌅
Love the "rainbow" at the bottom right corner of the first pic. 🌈

A this photo from yesterday's location scouting could fit for #thickTrunkTuesday , right?
It's been quite a time since I went to a new location with the clear intent of location scouting. - It took me a while until I was able to "see" something as I was so much in walking/hiking-mode.
But it was a good experience to do it again.

This black-and-white image captures a serene and somewhat mysterious winter scene. A large, leafless tree stands prominently in the foreground, its intricate branches reaching out in all directions. The tree is surrounded by a light layer of frost, adding a delicate texture to the scene. The background is shrouded in a thick fog, creating a sense of depth and obscuring the landscape beyond the tree. The fog gives the image an ethereal and tranquil quality, evoking a sense of calm and solitude.…

For today's #footpathFriday I chose this trail that I enjoyed this #autumn. I walked it to check whether I could bike it as well. -- Well, I met two bikers but it looks quite ... challenging. Well, not THIS part, but quite some other parts.

This image captures a picturesque hiking trail winding through a mountainous landscape on a clear, sunny day. The trail, made of dirt and small rocks, meanders through a lush, green forest filled with tall pine trees and various shrubs. The vibrant greenery contrasts beautifully with the rocky terrain, creating a sense of natural harmony. In the background, a majestic mountain peak rises against the bright blue sky, which is lightly dotted with a few fluffy clouds. The sunlight bathes the enti…

Recently I spoke with a woman in a shop about hiking and she said that she's not experienced in the mountains and thus doesn't dare to go alone.
I wondered if such people would feel better if they'd go for example with me (or just any other person who is a bit into the topic). No need to talk, no social obligations, just walking together a route, no sports event, nothing extreme. 🤔 Not as a guided tour, just walking.
And if I would do that.

A bit of #fog today. The first two are unnamed pond near "unused trash yard" near #Kostrzyn in #GreaterPoland. Third's #Iwno #Lake which, against all odds, is in Iwno. Fourth's the Deszczownia Pond (not sure how to translate the name, it's derived from "rain") next to it.
