You’ll Never Walk Alone

· 6 Comments ·

I kept the most important ingredient to a good walk until this last square: a good companion.

Now I am not per se a dog person but I appreciate a good fellow by my side for a walk. This is Luna who has only lately joined our pack. At least at the beginning of the trail she is the keenest of us. So eager in fact that I could only get blurred pictures because she is pulling so hard.

But Luna comes with the promise that she stays by our side. Shake her paw on it!

Being Led Astray

· 14 Comments ·

My walking companion and I lost the rest of the group as well as the trail markings. When we saw this muddy path in front of us we decided to turn around and find a better way.

We turned into this path and ended up with the others again. But – the muddy path was the right way, we learned.

PS: Our shoes were the cleanest.

Breathless, yeah!

Weinheim, my home town, has given itself the monniker “The Two Castle Town”.

This is the Wachenburg, the younger one of the two, about 100 years old, built by student fraternities.

This is the Windeck, the older one, about 1000 years old, built to strengthen the influence of the abbey of Lorsch.

There are paths leading up to either, the choices are roads and paved paths as well as small, narrow footpaths through the woods. The latter are steeper but more fun to walk.

Placid Walk, Wild Grape

· 15 Comments ·

Close to our house is this old barn, completely overgrown with wild grape (I’m not really sure about its proper name, we call it “Wilder Wein”). This plant is often used to cover walls but it damages the plaster covering the stones with its suckers. However, the colours in autumn are so magnificent that people put up with it. On this particular date 22-11-22 I found a wine walk particulary fitting (it is also our wedding anniversary).

The Gold between the Trees

· 7 Comments ·

When you go walking on Wiesbaden’s Neroberg there is no way you’re going to miss the Orthodox Russian church. You are walking through the woods and suddenly you round a corner and you’re hit with a flash of gold!

And because this is squares I could not leave without sharing the pair of tights one of our runners was wearing:
