Well, maybe not 500 miles - how many is that in kilometer anyways? - but hiking is a part of our freetime entertainment, if you want to call it that! So we are planning on taking part in a 24hrs hike in May, from the Mummelsee to Pforzheim, 76km, 24hrs straight through the night. It will be an adventure, so we are training, getting ready, testing equipment, and everything else that needs to be done.
It was a sunny, almost cloudless day in April, and we set out to take a walk in the Black Forest. Even though we were hiking on a popular route, there wasn`t another soul out here with us. As we continued down the signaled path we came across a little flow, crossing it via a bridge a little down the way.
The grass was glowing green, the water was fresh and cold, and the smeel of fresh wood, moss and somehow, freedom! The lungs could fully breath in without having the feeling of suffocating from the smog and dirt of a city. We were carrying a picknick with us, so once we found a nice place to sit down, we jumped at the opportunity to relax our feet a little.
In the end, after a very enjoyable and exhausting day hiking we were really happy to sit in the train back home, smiling and remeniscing about the trip, knowing that it will be some time before we get to go out just the two of us again.
