  • Ich wär ja schon früher los, aber der erste Bus zu meinem Startpunkt holt mich erst um 8:38h ab. Natürlich bin ich zu früh an der Bushaltestelle, aber das macht nichts. Ich übe ein paar Durchläufe der aktuellen Hip Hop Choreo, damit sich die morgendlichen 7 Grad wärmer anfühlen. Außerdem hebt es die Laune (der…

  • Ende Oktober zieht es Hector auf die Südseite der Alpen. Während München in grau-kalter Suppe badet, lockt Südtirol mit Sonne, Wärme und Wanderspaß. Der Verlockung erliegend fahre ich ohne weiteren Fakten-Check los, das wird bestimmt mega! October 2025 and Hector longs for the South. While the upcoming winter will offer enough opportunities to hang around…

  • Lately I’ve been wishing for an unknown pleasure… …simple as the movement of a van coming by. Delicate as wine and stars… …and pure as a mountain lake. How about you? How about you?! But as for the hour, feels like I’m reaching for the peak of sours… They say, holidays will come and go,…

  • Hector und ich, das ist eine dieser ganz großen Liebesgeschichten. Über innere Werte, äußeren Glanz und die seltene Kombination von Freiheit und Geborgenheit. Seit nunmehr 8 Jahren rollen wir grundsätzlich zu selten und zu wenig durch Europa, ständig gelobt einer von uns Besserung, immer wieder schaffen wir es und sind – beglückt. Glück, selbstgemacht, nur…

  • Hector is through with it: parked eternally, enduring rain and cold and never-ever used for spontaneous trips. For the 4th time in a row, 11°C and liters of rain cross my camping plans. Solution: Change the destination! 2h 45 are all it takes. Before the night settles in, we unpack the mountain bikes, get out…

  • Hector is happy again, and when Hector is happy, I am happy. Together, we combine a working day at Augsburg, a camping stop-over at Lechbruck and a challenging tour around the Kenzenhütte. At least, that is the plan on Thursday. Even though I work for some hours when sitting on Hector’s couch, the overall situation…

  • Good Karma is back! After some back and forth, misleading advice from the Staffelsee campsite and running against torrents of tourists, Hector jumps in the very last free spot between lake and Alps. Camping Riegsee turns out to be the most charming one: ripened sanitary rooms with the right focus (clean and proper rather than…

  • Even when your inner self is balanced as hell, you might appreciate an external impulse to get things going. Creeping slowly out of my frustration hole about the disabled Grand Trip 2020, I suddenly hold a travel book in my hands: “Let’s Camp”, published by “fort & glücklich” – already the cover causes a little…

  • While all protagonists are busy not preparing the upcoming holidays, the summer is just too good to be ignored. Hence, every now and then I hop on Hector and go for some hidden lake. Nothing fancy, but just appropriate for little escapes on a Wednesday evening. The night is all about counting shooting stars (one),…

  • Good news: Friends M. + C. and their blue Ford Nugget are down in Bavaria for a camping weekend. Bad news: Hector is too chubby for the places located directly at the shoreline of Camping Lido. Consequently, my van with a view is limited to the backside of the sanitary house and camping neighbours around.…
