Hotel notes and recommendations – tried personally by Dirk Rüger on travels and hikes

Hotel notes & recommendations

Tried myself, on my travels and hikes

Arriving with a good feeling

Walking means being on the move – and that includes arriving. After a day on my feet I do not long for luxury but for a place that offers quiet: a clean room, a friendly welcome, a view across the landscape. Those are the places I collect here for you.

Whether a small guesthouse in the Palatinate Forest, a sustainable organic hotel in the Bliesgau or somewhere special in Greece – I only present places I have visited myself and tried on my hikes and travels. No paid advertising, no flattering photographs. Honest impressions, pictures taken on site and clear notes on what to watch out for.

Why I do this

Because I have spent hours looking for a good place to stay myself – not for the best rating, but for the most honest account. That is exactly what I want to offer here: real help along the way – especially if, like me, you travel on foot and on electricity.
