For two years now I have been wanting to hike Iceland. My original wish was to hike across Iceland. That would have been approximately a 24 day hike, but because of practical reasons (I do not have an unlimited amount of vacation days) and security reasons (dangerous river crossings alone), I decided to "compromise" and...

La Malinche mountain is an inactive volcano (dormant for the last 3,100 years) located in Tlaxcala and Puebla states, in Mexico. Officially, its summit reaches 4,461 metres (14,636 ft) above sea level, though it is generally considered to be closer to 4,440 metres. It is the sixth-highest in Mexico. Traveling to Mexico we did not plan to do any hiking actually, but we should have known... Continue Reading →
One day last year Elias asked if we should go to Slovenia. I must admit, I did not know much about Slovenia at that point, so my first question was: "Are there any nice mountains there?". Sure enough, Slovenia has a lot of nice mountains. I was really impressed when I saw the mountains from... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I found myself in Innsbruck, trying to find a hike or two which I could easily do with limited planning. My original plan was to do a part of the Stubaitaler Höhenweg, but bad weather forced us to improvise and change our plans at the last minute. So on the bus from Munich... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I joined a quite bad-ass hike; Mittenwalder Höhenweg. Mittenwalder Höhenweg is a via Ferrata over a ridge in Karwendel. There is an option to take a cable car up, but then it would not be a badass would it? So we hiked 1900 hm up from Mittenwald! That is the most height meters... Continue Reading →

According to Wikipedia the maximum depth of the canyon is 3,790 meters (12,434 feet) from river to mountain peak. The gorge is about 15 kilometers long, and the hike... Continue Reading →
This weekend my Mom is visiting. Unfortunately she is really not into hiking. Therefore, instead of visiting some nice peaks in the alps, we are going to do the regular touristy stuff. One of the sights that are really worth to visit while in Bavaria is the Neuschwanstein castle and I have good news - you... Continue Reading →
The hiking season in Germany is much longer than in Norway. This is one of the things I love about living here. While it's already snowing in Norway and people are preparing their skis, here you can still climb a 2000 m high mountain in tights 😀 This weekend we hiked Kramerspitz (1985 m). Kramerspitz is in...
