When going for a walk at the Eifelsteig from Kornelimünster to Roetgen in Germany, controlled loneliness is your companion within great landscapes of the Eifel-area. These pictures were taken while passing the Hochmoor Struffelt Heide.

"The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark."

(Barbara Hall)

The second stage of the Eifelsteig leads from Roetgen in Germany over Belgian ground to Monschau in Germany. The distance on this medium day's march is 17 km and the difficulty is labeled as "medium".

"I go now to the wilderness to be a part of it; to accept my place in the world and its place in me; to grow into reality as a tree grows into the rain, to conform to the Earth as a stream conforms to the stones of its bed. To live. To aspire. To be."

(William Ashworth)

The third stage of the Eifelsteig leads from Monschau to Einruhr. The distance on this day's march is 24,3 km and the difficulty is indeed labeled as "difficult" - especially if you add another six kilometers after getting lost in the noon of early January like we did!

This week our plan of walking three consecutive stages of the Eifelsteig was turned into reality and we started No. 4 which leads from Einruhr to Gemünd near Euskirchen, Germany. This reflecting picture was shot in the first third of the trip before reaching the #Urfttalsperre and is a great proof for reflections, nature and an early morning aura!

Although I am not a follower of the Hvite Krist, the flair and the aura churches provide have always attracted me - and this impression even doubles when the church is empty and.. lost!

The lost village in the Eifel-area, #Wollseifen, is a place that was wiped away in the aftermath of #ww2 to become a military training area: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogelsang_Training_Area

Before reaching the infamous Nazi-castle #Vogelsang, this place gave us the chance for a last short rest in the blistering heat!

Lost but not forgotten...

Reaching the reservoir dam at the #Urfttalsperre, this one underlines the impression of a sunny, cloudless and astonishing morning aura while you can see how the nature (here: water) is tamed - at least for the moment!

After having had the probably most-cruel conditions with a cloudless and sunny sky with 29° C the last day, the next stage of the Eifelsteig from Schleiden to Gemünd started a little less heavy. This one shows some early morning-reflections once again!

The third day marked the sixth stage of the Eifelsteig from Kloster (Monastery) Steinfeld in Kall-Urft to Blankenheim. Despite sleeping within the monastery's guest house, I didn't burn to ashes and so we could head on in the early morning to see one of the most beautiful combinations in nature: The rise of the sun seeking its way to the trees of a wood while the air is still fresh and somehow humid. The dawn of a new day in nature was a perfect start for our third consecutive stage on this Eifelsteig-tour!

Enter, the Dreimühlen waterfall near Nohn! It took nature quite a long time to create the waterfall and it is still doing so. Calcium is deposited here day by day, persistently creating wonderful formations - protruding an additional ten centimetres into the valley each year. You do the same as nature does and take your time here. Close your eyes and listen to the melodies of the enduring waters - enjoying a (possibly) overflowing stream!

Just the end of a tunnel - or a new crossroad behind it? The eighth stage of the Eifelsteig runs from Mirbach to Hillesheim, the crime novel capital of the Eifel and this August we managed to hike the seventh and eighth stage - still seven to go until the city of Trier!

So, with moving to another domain name and still lacking account migration in #Pixelfed, I have to start over. After 472 posts on my old instance, this one now moves to a #Docker-ized approach, starting from the scratch - and despite moving posts wasn't on the schedule, even migrating followers simply went tits up.

I loved the platform, I love the #Fediverse but each new feature on Pixelfed kept being a complete surprise and, this time, I drawed a conclusion from this. Until then, going with Pixelfed was a great trip but also a crossroad, reminding me to stay on solid ground instead of trying each new feature as one of the first people out there... The result: I finally embrace #Vernissage and focus more on pics and stability instead of more and more unstable features.

Sometimes a slight rain turns into something that just prevents you from making your way - this time, we were hit by this event just some kilometers after leaving Blankenheim on our seventh stage of the Eifelsteig.

Fortunately, there was shelter as even I (who doesn't care of getting wet due to weather conditions) refused to head on! 😉

Fortunately there was a shelter as the rain turned to "extreme mode" in the middle of the meadow forests covering the ways to Alendorf on our seventh stage of the Eifelsteig this August, trying to reach the goal in Mirbach.
