Travelogues Grisons

On February 9th, a Friday, we traveled to Sedrun in Switzerland to go skiing or snowboarding of course. The BBS Emden and Aurich were also there. The departure was actually...

280/5651 74 Sustenpass 75 Oberalppass 76 Albula Today was a relaxed ride with one of my favorites, namely the western approach to the Albula Pass. For me, one of the most...

For the third consecutive day, we hopped on our bikes to take full advantage of the beautiful weather window. First, we saddled up the bikes on Asap, went up a bit, and arrived...

Our third day in Davos was supposed to be a bit more relaxed. The goal was to sleep in, go on a short tour, and enjoy some delicious food. Stefanie thoroughly enjoyed staying in...

After a rather hot night in Bregenz, we took the bikes and went on a morning breakfast tour to explore the cycle paths and the town square. Bregenz is really beautiful. Spicy...

08/31/22 At 5:40am we meet at Berlin-Südkreuz, the train departs at 6:10am and is already 2 minutes delayed. In Frankfurt, we only have a 10-minute connection. Let's see how it...

At 8:30 a.m., we started the 1800m climb from Stilfserjoch with little traffic. Almost 3 hours later, with more traffic, we reached the highest point of our tour. As expected,...

I was already looking forward to today's stage at home, drove the road version on January 1st, 2020 with P in the car and still remembered it as beautiful. I had already...

Today was a very intense day, not only because it was the most alpine stage so far. First highlight: after the mediocre hotel breakfast, I want to send the book that I have been...

It was announced that it would rain a lot and quite heavily. Yesterday I spent a long time googling for accommodation that doesn't cost 300 CHF and is not closed. Under these...

Yippee, the summer holidays have started and I am lucky enough to accompany my amazing friend Jessi to Italy. To match, I have set up a new alarm ringtone 😊😊...

Yesterday on July 16, 2021, the final stage took place from Splügen (Graubünden) over the San Bernardino Pass (2066 m above sea level) to Bellinzona (Ticino). I was at breakfast...

In the past few weeks I have been very busy and my muse is in quarantine, so I couldn't think of a suitable topic for a blog entry. Therefore, this text is about the maturing of...

Here, the aging professor tells his protege the story of his deceased wife, who used to fart in her sleep. He wonders why he misses such things about her the most. The...

I distrust my brain. Apparently, it is a master at making things fit that are not. It shamelessly uses the imagination and invents stories like the Brothers Grimm did. Curtain...

Off to Italy! That is the motto on Friday morning. We want to enjoy the sun one last time before finishing the trip. The bags are quickly packed and we set off in Markdorf...

The branches of the rowan tree in our garden bend under the weight of the red berries and the first snow. Winter has kissed the mountains early this year and the stories of our...

After a long celibacy of cultural abstinence, the two of us recently enjoyed a ballet performance. With their choreography of bodies, the dancers told a story that has been...

After all the trail fun around Davos, it was finally time to seriously and permanently turn our gaze to the west. In the next few days, I wanted to get much closer to the...

The supposed rest days in Davos ended on Friday, when another, this time only two-day bikepacking tour was planned. We wanted to visit the neighboring Schanfigg Valley near...

The spectacular start of the Alps Epic Trail

It took a few days until the next entry here in the blog. The remaining week with Hans flew by and we were so busy that there was simply no time to write. But now back to the...

As dreamy as our campsite was, it was bitterly cold up there. So, early in the morning, I crawled out of my sleeping bag shivering slightly, eagerly awaiting the first rays of...

Just before our first pass of the tour

So the first day literally fell into the water. Instead of ambitiously tackling the Fuorcla Sulej and being rewarded with a grand panorama of the glaciated Bernina Group, Hans...

People love stories. I realized this once again when I told children a tale of bloodthirsty monsters, foaming bulls, and brave girls last week. Justice prevails in the end and...

It's actually starting today. Just three weeks ago, I thought my summer vacation would consist of the usual one to two week bike tours, slowly eating away at my limited...

Sometimes the time has come to stop. I'm not talking about eating chocolate or being embarrassed. For ten years, I have been meditating with stones and stacking them into dry...
