My hikes – walked myself, documented with care
Looking for inspiration for your next hike? Then you are in the right place. On this page you will find carefully chosen routes that I have walked myself – not a collection of other people’s routes, not AI-generated tracks, but first-hand experience.
Every one of my hikes comes with real photographs, personal tips and an embedded Komoot link so you can plan onwards or walk the route yourself straight away.
What makes my hikes different
Real experience
How the route actually feels – and what awaits you along the way.
Getting there & parking
Where to park and how to get there most easily.
Suitable for an EV?
Whether the route works well with an electric car – charging options included.
Komoot link
Embedded directly – for GPS, favourites and your own planning.
Real photographs
No stock photos – only genuine shots taken on location.
Personal tips
Viewpoints, resting places, quirks – straight from experience.
🎒 Setting off well equipped
Boots, rucksack, camera – the right gear makes the difference.

New routes appear automatically
I keep adding to the collection. New routes appear in this overview automatically once I have written them up and published them. So do look in from time to time, or follow the new posts on social media.
Linked directly to Komoot
All my routes are available through my Komoot account. There you can save routes as favourites, use them for GPS or leave a comment. If you use Komoot yourself, follow me – then every new route reaches you automatically.
