"Already 31 km on the road, 11 times my Couchsurfing request was denied, people in Bochum look at me like an animal in the zoo, no person talked to me today, after 28 km the first butcher came.... But he couldn't offer me anything, there was not one possibility for building my tent and sleeping pla

I was so exited to arrive in Ittenbach and to meet Mathil and her friends Thea and Rita. Mathil and Thea came from the Netherlands to plant here a tree for Mathils brother Free, who loved this place a lot. The spent some years of their childhood in Ittenbach and it touched me so much to see, when R

What a terrible street I had to walk on from Rheinsberg to arrive at this great camping site next to a Cristal clear lake. More than 300 years old, builded with big stones and rocks and the nightmare for every fragile vehicle or for those on a bike. This street is almost killing everything. After a

What shall a say about the day? Amazing amazing amazing .... the forest is really great. But when you leave the inner zone of the national park you will pass dark and frightening woods. Forbidden to enter because of danger for life ... there are the rest of the war hidden in the ground. It can expl

Guess who arrived today? My friend Hans from Berlin, who hiked with me the first 7 days of TREES of MEMORY. He is back and we were so happy to see each other. We had a lot to tell even said things. Kalle, his former boyfriend died at cancer just some weeks ago. I heard it some weeks ago and I was s

The day was a nighmare. the entire forest, my gps suggested to pass, is military zone. you risk your life if you pass it. So I walked for 32 km along a road (the L192) with bad and heavy traffic. Most of the time on the road, because there is no bike line. A life risking walk. Bad for Tyrion and me

Long awaited and finally I am here. Finally, because I see Roberto and his partner Thorsten. Old Berlin friends of mine. We havn´t seen each other for more than a decade. Thanks to Facebook we were always in touch. But seeing each other in real life i way better. And we enjoy it. Even if all three

Arriving in Rostock was a bit difficult. There are so many broken bottles on the bike line, that it was dangerous for my vehicle and for Tyrion. Why the hell people are like that? I really don´t understand it. Well but later the day, after my arrival at my hosts Melissa and Daniel we went to a gard

My way to Rerik was very emotional, as so many people talked to me. The first man started the conversation with the sentence: "I am diagonzed with cancer and I have since years suicide thoughts, but now they hit me every day" and than he showed me his arms, full of cuttings. The second man met me w

From Boltenhagen I wanted to hike to Wismar. Unfortunately no one of 10 Couchsurfing hosts was answering to my request. In the city there is no camping site. And the prices of guesthouses and hotel is more a robbery than a price. So I wanted to take the closest camping site but they don't accept do

What a stormy night. I thought I could sleep in my hammock at the beach but black clouds and a little storm forced me to sleep in my tent. But the storm was so strong that the sand couldn't keep the irons of the tent. So I was busy to keep my belongings together while Tyrion used the moment to craw

After incredible 38 km we arrived almost dead in Lübeck. Not that the km were too much. No, the problem was that I walked for 31 km and there was no possibility for having something to eat or to drink. There was absolute nothing. A desaster for my sugar level and if it`s down I show aspekts of my

This was the rist hiking day with HWW1, my new hiking vehicle. Fritz Bude, the constructor of it, will join me now for two days, so we can fix smaller problems, if there are some. I hope that in future  everything will run well. So far, today it worked perfect and it was a great trip through wonde

After 3 weeks in Offenbach, where I sold everything of the rest i owned and gave back the partement to my landlord, I arrived in Borgholzhausen, where Jutta and her Partner Fritz awaited me so badly. Why? Because Fritz and I have been sind June in constant contact, as he was planing and creating a

Heike stumpled over trees of memory when a friend of hers showed her, the newspaper with the article about it. "I started crying when I read your story" she  told me. So, for many reasons it was the perfect time to let go a very bitter and terrible part of her life. I spent a wonderful evening in t

In the evening we arrived in Wesseling, where we are expected and invited by Gaby who want to plant a tree for her son. We spent a very emotional evening together and we met a great family but we met also a big tragedy and a very sad story and I almost have no words for, what can happen to humans.

THIS IS THE END My dear ones, friends, followers and all those who have supported me so generously in the last months, There are some news that are not very nice. But there is a not walking times too and it was clear that it would / have to come, sooner or later Now both come together and for my t

A short hiking day. Last night it rained like hell. Thunderstorm and we were so lucky to have our woodn hut last night. 30 minutes after our arrival it started to rain and it stopped early this morning. When we left the site, we had blue sky but after 5 km it was raining again. My gps made a mistak

Amazing amazing amazing .... we walked all day long through the deepest forest. It is the Kerne Zone of the park and nature is so beautyful. I showed Hans the magic of tree huging. What, you never tried it? Do so.... touch the tree, close your eyes and put your forehead on the wood and feel it :-)

The walk to Waren was really nice. I always like this state of our country. But by now, I think, that i am in love. But then, I arrive on one of the most ugly camping sites. The people are really nice and polite but asking 24 euros for 1 person, 1 dog and a tent, out of season is incredible. They a

I think, that this was the best camping site on my entire trip. Why? Because it was totally good located, very silent, very friendly owners and the sight on the lake made me coming down so easy. And I liked the monastry Dobbertin. Amazing buildings, great locations and you know what? Not the rich

I arrived in Schwaan to expect another rain  day. Lucky me it was not that heavy. The camping site I stayed on is really beautifull and the owner is a very nice lady. The people here are like on other camping sites in east germany too, very interested in my work and the project. Once more I had gr

Since days I am on the Fernradwanderweg Ostsee. An bike and hiking trail along the baltic sea. It is so beautiful to walk there. Unfortunatly the last kilometers behind and in front, doesn´t offer a corner for "wild camping in the forest or at the beach". And the weather isn´t that nice. That´s wh

I left the camping site in Beckerwitz at 10 in the morning. Short time later I recived a phone call from Silke and Norbert who invited me to their little animal shelter in Alt Bukow. Before I went to Wismar to pick up the repair set for my tent and than I had to buy the second pair of shoes. My Kee

After a long and rainy day we made it to Boltenhagen on the camping site Regenbogen Paradies. It looks like that we will stick here for 3 days instead of 2 days, if I do read the weather forecast right. Monday will be rainy all day long. This is not nice and I will rather stay here than walking. Bo

After sending out a press release about my arrival in Lübeck I recived an invitation from the priest Kai Schäfer to join his church community and to plant a tree of memory in the community garden. And this is what we did next to talking to church pupils about depression, fear, suicide and how to he

This was such an amazing day. I walked for some hours and all of a sudden I recived an invitation via SMS from Jenny und Torsten, who saw me in a village. they went on my website and than they invited me for a stopp over, for a cold drink and a rest for the dog. This was perfect, so we could rest w

I am back in Tornesch where my equipment was stored in Wandas house. By the way, she has a wonderful apt. here to rent and the location of her old farmhouse is really very nice in the middle of a lots of green. Great spot to relax. Well.... I will have one night here to train Tyrion to the life i

What a nightmare ... I had to go back to Offenbach to end my apartment drama for good. So, the next two weeks I must be here and empty the house and doing many things, I don´t want to do. When I arrived, I felt, that it is not my home any more. It is something from the past. Feels a bit like: Somet

After a long 37 km hike along 4 line roads full of noisy traffic I finally made it to Tornesch, where Wanda was awaiting me. After two weeks in Hamburg it is good to be back on the road. But the next days I will stuck here. I must organize my apartment Desaster back in Frankfurt, another tree plant
