For my English-speaking friends…"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi all,<\/p>\n

my English-speaking friends kept me asking what my blog is all about. I will not be able to translate all my German posts in English as well, therefore I have decided to post once in a while an English summary<\/strong> about the stuff I am doing right now,\u00a0so that you are at least able to generally\u00a0follow my quest…<\/p>\n

\"Abstieg\"

Abstieg<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, first things first: I decided to hike on the so called „Westweg<\/strong>“ („West-Trail“) end of August\/beginning of September. The „Westweg“ is the oldest distant-trail in Germany founded in 1900 and spans about\u00a0285 kilometers<\/strong> (about 177 miles) from north to south (Pforzheim to Basel) across the Black Forest. It has been awarded since as one of the best long-range-hiking-trails in Germany and offers a wide range of exciting landscapes and spectacular views into the rhine-valley.<\/p>\n

My tour will be divided into 13 day-trips<\/strong>, about 4-8 hours<\/strong> of hiking\u00a0each day. During my tour I will have to climb several peaks mounting up to a total altitude of about 10.000\u00a0meters<\/strong> (33.000 feet). You can imagine from the numbers that this trip will\u00a0be quite a challenge and therefore I am already quite excited about it.<\/p>\n

\"Blick

Blick ins Tal von Burg R\u00f6tteln<\/p><\/div>\n

However, before you are awestruck, I need to tell you that I simplyfied my challenge to some extent by booking hotels for\u00a0each night along the trail, so I do not have to sleep in a tent (and carry equipment for sleeping outdoors). Furthermore, the hotels provide the handy service that my big luggage is transported from hotel to hotel. That way I only have to carry what I need during the day for my hike. In doing so, I can have\u00a0much more equipment with me\u00a0without the need to carry each of it every day accross the Black Forest.<\/p>\n

So you see, it is not such a big deal\u00a0after all. Nevertheless, I expect that this tour will still be quite a challenge for a pencil-pusher like me…;-)<\/p>\n

Anyway, my blog now tries to cover the different steps of my preparation for the trip<\/strong> as well as to capture my impressions<\/strong> during the trip itself.<\/p>\n

Thus, I will explain on my pages for example my packing-lists<\/strong>, how I prepare<\/strong>\u00a0myself\u00a0for the long tour, tests<\/strong> of my equipment,\u00a0day-trips<\/strong>\u00a0which I will take in my region and finally how the long tour worked out in the end.<\/p>\n

Update: In the meantime I have\u00a0finished\u00a0my trip on the Westweg<\/strong>, if you want to find out where I was each day, please got to this page<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n
