Hiking & nature vacation
As a country and village child, I have always developed a very special connection to nature and agriculture. Life in the city would therefore make no sense for me in the long term. How happy I am when I look into the deserted distance, observe the cloud formations at the sea or enjoy the view from the mountain peak, I have only really realized in recent years. When I travel, I also love discovering nature, going hiking and learning about local agriculture. For me, hiking, walking and cycling are all part of traveling and going on vacation. An outdoor and hiking holiday decelerates, lets us experience the world even more mindfully and reminds us that we are all connected. It doesn't always have to be exciting long-distance travel destinations either, because there are also incredibly beautiful places to discover in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that not everyone has on their radar screens. Like for example Active holiday with goats in the Black Forest, Wine Hikes on the Moselle, alpine Hikes in the Zillertal or a town-country river Bike tour in the Eifel.
