My travel adventures

& some other stuff

Welcome to my Website!

Hello and welcome to my page 🙂

I’m Katrin and I used to travel a lot in my 30ies.
Currently (2026), I’m working on including all my old travel blogs to keep all these good memories alive.

I’m also adding some new things, e.g. DIY recipes and content about my current photography and sports activities.
So you’ll find a pretty colourful mixture here 🙂
And maybe there’s something interesting in there for you as well.

Enjoy!
And please let me know if you find any errors or inconsistencies in the contact form. Thanks!

After two months of holiday after the first half of my cycling adventure, I started a separate stint to also tick-off Hesse from my list of federal German states.

Beautiful training ride to the Einkorn

Download GPX track

Today I cycled my old training route from Schwaebisch Hall via Gaildorf and the old coal road to the Einkorn back home.

I started right after the rain and it was just beautiful to watch the water evaporate from the forest.

I would have loved to stop every other minute to take a picture BUT I had to be back for lunch time, so I didn’t take too many breaks 😉

So – “unfortunately”, you have to come here in person to see the whole beauty 🙂

In case, you’re wondering about the strange picture format: today I had only my phone with me and not my camera.

Also the route parameters are, once again, calculated by OpenStreetMaps and don’t really seem realistic to me – just subtract generously and it’s probably correct 😉

View from the Einkorn – I just love it here 🙂

The sun comes out, right after the rain

Heilbronn to Schwaebisch Hall: off to summer break

Download GPX track

Thursday was another holiday and another predicted hot day with thunderstorms and heavy rains predicted for later in the day. Consequence for me: another early start. This time I was on the road already at 7 AM!!! and it was already warm.

Since it was a holiday, almost nobody was on the streets and I found my way easily out of Heilbronn.

From Karlsruhe to Heilbronn

It was predicted to be another hot day and my calculated route would be around 90 km, including some meters in elevation. So I started the day with only a very small breakfast (only one dry bread roll….yummie ;-)) ) and veeeeeery early: I was on the road by 7 AM.

Green and sunny: From Dahn to Karlsruhe

Hills on the left, hills on the right – and I’m just cycling downhill 🙂

What a beautiful day / ride

I started early, around 8 AM, because it was suppose to get warm again. I started off through the beautiful forest of the Pfaelzer Wald and the whole first ten kilometers were going downhill on a beautiful smooth cycling road.

Rocks and trees: Dahn

Today I went on the Felsenpfad (=rock trail) around Dahn, actually I did only half of the trail since I needed already three hours for the six kilometers of the first half. The reason? Beauty and curiosity and photo motifs everywhere and walking barefoot for a while and taking it easy and….
