Our planet – our playground.
Earth is a great place for every kind of activity. It can be as easy as talking a walk on the beach or as exciting as hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro. It could be a camping trip into the desert or a thrilling experience with the big white shark in Cape Town. No matter if it is summer or winter, there is always something you could do outdoors. But never forget to bring proper equipment.
Even though I did already a lot of adrenalin stuffed sports I always try to keep things interesting. Racing down mountains on my mountain bike was something I did until my early twenties. Now I enjoy a demanding hike the same way. I always try to push myself to the limit. It could be a fast ascend which makes me sweat or a long-distance trail. Just like the one I finished here on the lovely island of Mallorca: GR221.
On this page I concentrate on the element earth with everything it has to offer. You can follow me on my hikes with stunning, breathtaking views. Not only from Mallorca, where I currently live but also from the alps where I used to grow up. Stay tuned…
Energy loaded mountain
How to re-charge an empty battery? Well, it depends on the device you want to re-charge. Sometimes it just needs a socket and you plug your phone or computer. Sometimes it needs a little more than that, especially when humans are involved. One might re-charge at home, in front of the TV or while reading…
Tossals Verds
For the last few months I only posted videos about hikes which I undertook either by myself or with colleagues and friends. The main reason why I withhold videos from my other two categories, Water and Air is simple: Air: as a flight instructor I mainly fly training flights with new colleagues and therefore all…
Serra de Teixos
Today I will be hiking again in the Tramuntana mountains on the lovely island of Mallorca. As usual I start at one of the parking lots close to the Cuber water reservoir and I initially follow the GR-221. It is a beautiful day, the temperature is just right and I can pick up quite a…
Puig de ses Vinyes, 1106m
The alarm clock was set to 5:30a.m. Not really the preferred time to wake up on a day off. But today another hike was planned: Puig de ses Vinyes. Even though the calender shows already mid of September, the thermometer still indicates 30° C. To avoid that heat we prefer to start our hikes quite…
Hiking Puig de Sa Rateta ( 1113m MSL )
Today we woke up quite early to be able to see a very nice sunrise in the Tramuntana mountains. After a 50mins drive we parked the car at the parking lot at the Cuber reservoir. We followed an easy trail and found the reservoir to our left. It was already quite empty as it appears…
Sant Elm – La Trapa
Just before sunrise I jumped into my car and drove to Sant Elm, a lovely fisher village and the western end of Mallorca. From there I followed a part of the GR-221 which is the long-distance trail from Port d´Andratx to Port de Pollença. The track leads initially through a forrest of pine trees with…
