After two days in Eringsboda, it is time to move on. In Hällevik happens a jazz festival. With Swing Jazz. They even mention Lindy Hop on their website! The case is clear: we know where to go. Being the direct opposite to the Côte d’Azur, Sweden is not even overcrowded in time of events. Consequently,…

Six hours on the ocean and Hector proudly announces that he knows how to swim open waters. I see the need for some discussions coming up, but for today I drop it and rather look for our first Swedish home base. I choose Simrishamn with a sea side camping. Catching the pitch closest to the…

It is Saturday evening when Hector is finally over-equipped and ready to go North. The batteries are fully charged, the water tank is filled with 40 l of best Munich water and the refrigerator with prepared food, summer beer and whatever it takes to survive in the wilderness. Around nightfall we reach the Parkschloss in…

At 6:45 sharp I turn the engine and Hector turns right. The toughest tour so far starts with washed air and the Alps reaching out to Hector and the hikers inside. In Hammersbach we hop on the cog railway and jump off at the upon-demand-stopp Riffelriss. The train disappears inside the tunnel to the Zugspitzplatt…

Except for the unforeseen challenge in finding the right turn at the right time it has been comparable to the mid-level tours we had just the other weeks. Anyway, I am…

I should have known that: Hiking with Barbara means => Barbara + further company. Been there, done that but still I am stunned by the impact. The two of us start at the fairy tale castle Linderhof, all in the spirit of Ludwig II and his longing for calm and beauty. Ten minutes later we…

Some people know how to make most of a festival evening, some are pretty good at finding beautiful hiking tours. R. knows both, being well qualified for Saturday’s companion. The 5th peak 2017 is the Spitzstein, located somewhere between the Chiemsee and Kufstein. With 870m difference in altitude it proves once more the strong correlation…

Here comes the next peak! At least, that was the plan. 1st plan had been the Blaueisgletscher, but we had to skip that due to constant rain from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon in Berchtesgadener Land. 2nd plan was the Rubihorn in Oberstdorf: positive weather forecast, 1957 meters, nice camp site (rubi camp). Arriving Saturday…
