This was my first hike with komoot - it worked very well and the route is very beautiful and recommendable!

Since we were in the area anyway, we took the opportunity and did the beautiful walk.

In the morning of today's Christmas Eve, I gave myself a small but nice Christmas round around the Kreuzberg near Hallstadt, before the whole family Christmas hustle and bustle started in the afternoon...!
🎁🥾➰️🎒😇


I've had this Ründla on my "to-hike-list" for quite some time and the hiking destinations Kreuzberg & Kreuzgang with the pavilion went well with today's Christmas …

At least half the route was along the Main River 😊. I also had a bit of rain, but when the weather's nice, anyone can run. I enjoyed it; for me, it was a nice hike 👍👍👍👍

2 cellars open, the third unfortunately closed for vacation. 🍻🥨 Enough to satisfy hunger and thirst. 😂😂
It was nice. 👍

Unfortunately, when I was planning it, I didn't take into account that we currently have a full-blown mosquito plague 🦟. The beasts really bothered us and in the meantime I …

Today we wanted to go hiking in the Bamberg area, stopped briefly in the car and looked on Komoot to see what hikes were available. This is what we saw at Kemmern. The tour was quite easy, it's a must 🤣.
Initially along the Main we went into the forest along mountain bike trails. Then we went downhill over the …

Driving a little further away, we ended up in Bamberg, more precisely in Kemmern. A relatively easy route, but sometimes it's good. The dogs had fun in the water, even though the weather wasn't great. The path is a bit unspectacular, but in addition to a lot of bike trails, there were a few huts to see in the forest, …
