If it is really hot in town it is a good idea to visit the Harz Mountains. However that does not always work! We tried our luck in the mining town Altenau. Even though we are walking alongside the Okerstausee (barrier lake) and hike in the Kellwassertal the scorching heat is almost killing us. The climb up to the Ochsenberghütte
The beautiful Algarve is not only a paradise for beach lovers and partygoers. Nature lovers like me will also be pleased. Actually „hot“ countries like Spain, France, Italy or Portugal are rather known for ists sparse landscape. However, the Portuguese Coast surprises me.

Eventhough I am not a big fan of bitterly cold weather there is nothing more romantic to me than snow-covered Harz. And actually it worked. Just right at the start of the ascent onto the Brocken the scenic landscape of the
A hike in the snow is on our wish list. However the weather god has other plans for us and sends us into the „Barumer Moor“. The marshland is located in the middle of the beautiful Fuhsetal. It is limited by the Fuhs, the Eixer border ditch and the marshland ditch and has a size of around 120 acre. In
It’s been more than three years ago, still I do remember exactly the day of my coronation as Harzer Wanderkaiserin. I was proud on my 222 stamps that I collected over the years hiking.
