Every now and then we get tips from friends or from our own inspiration about where we could go hiking. And yes, they are usually wonderful ideas. We collect them here, looking forward to many more years of hiking so we can make them all happen...
In southern Spain:
🚶 28 Apr - 2 May 2024 Joachim and I invite to a walkabout, but we haven't decided where yet. Possible are Cabo de Gata or Estepona - Gibraltar along the coast.
🚶 Someday Thermal Walk: The Santa Fé Hot Springs are open to hikers! I've been there several times and fell in love with the place. There are several pools with water up to 40 degrees warm and waterfalls... Murielle hasn't been there yet and would like to get to know it. We hike from the Mediterranean coast along a river, cross a mountain range, walk along the banks of a reservoir and through several villages on roads with very little traffic. (This tour was already planned for November 2023. However, I couldn't walk because of a leg problem.) See invitation.
🚶 Someday We are thinking to hike near Murcia, eather from Aguilas to Cartagena or fom Cartagena to orihuela or from orihuela to cartagena. We will decide about it later.
☀️ Aug 2024 Mulberry Retreat: Regularly in August, mulberries ripen in the mountains south of the Sierra Nevada (Alpujarras), which particularly excite us, along with the figs and grapes. Then we do our retreat there, a week-long camp with day hikes and workshops with a focus on nature and connection. Also suitable for children.
🚶 Aug 2024 Mulhacén Walk: Retreat place - Atalbéitar - Pórtugos - Tajo de Cortes (waterfall) - PR-A-26 - Mulhacén (3480m), - Pico de Veleta - Río Dílar - Alhendín. Mulhacén is the highest mountain of the Spanish mainland. We will do this Walkabout after the Mulberry Retreat.
🚣 Oct 2024 Paddling Tour, probably Murcia. See invitation
🚶 Oct 2024 Survival Walk: Dúrcal ► Cascada de los Bolos (an impressive waterfall where we can get a water massage) ► Hiking trail PRA-385 ► Hiking trail GR-240 (Sulayr; Alpujarras, wild area, here we want to live a few days on the berries and wild plants) ► We decide spontaneously where to cuntinue.
🚶 Someday River Walk: Rio Chillar up and down, a beautiful river close to Nerja, with clear and clean water, canions and waterfalls.
🚶Someday Winter Walk: We sleep in caves (Cueva de la Fájara) close to Canillas de Aceituno and do day hikes, e.g. the particularly beautiful Ruta El Saltillo.
🚶 Someday Murcia Walk: Lorca - hot spring at El Saladillo - Cueva Neptuno - Cartagena
🚶 Someday Lucero Walk: Nerja - mountains - Frigiliana - Nerja. Mountain hike, to the peaks of Lucero (1780 m) and Cisne (1490 m). And we want to visit the "Venta de Panaderos" (see history of the house "Venta de Panaderos")
🚶 Someday Rio Verde Walk: Almuñecar - Río Verde - Albuñuelas - .Saleres - Béznar - Lanjarón - El Morreon (Órgiva).
🚶Someday Tarifa Walk: Algeciras - Tarifa - Barbate - Conil de la Frontera, always along the coast.
🚶 Someday Santa Fe Walk (2 weeks: Nerja - mountains - Santa Fe - mountains - Nerja, main destiny is a hot spring close to Santa Fe. Update: the hot spring of Santa Fé is closed!
🚶 Someday in summer Simplicity Walk: Nerja - Málaga, we walk from beach to beach and demonstrate for a simple, healthy lifestyle.
🚶 Someday in summer "Highway" Walk: Monachil (792m, near Granada) - Pradollano (2.078m) - Mulhacen (3,482m) - Pórtugos. There is a bus from Monachil to Pradollano. If you like, you can save this ascent and go up by bus. The Mulhacen is the highest mountain of the Spanish mainland in the Sierra Nevada. It is surrounded by a beautiful wild area with lakes. We hike there for about 2 days (the "Highway" 😉). Near Pórtugos is the Fuente Agria, a water source with amazing sulphur water. We will spend another 2 days in this area and enjoy the mulberries.
In France:
🚶 Someday, maybe July 2024 Atlantic Walk: Irun - Hendaye - Biarritz - Bordeaux, mostly along the Atlantic coast. After Biarritz we'll have 120 km only beach, we want to walk that along the water. That might be boring for some of you, for us it's a kind of meditation. The sand will be not very soft probably, thus quite easy to walk
🚶 Someday Alsace Walk: Bellegarde - Strasbourg. Variety landscapes, charming villages, wild cherries...
🚣 Someday Paddling Tour: Epinal (France) - Saône river - Rhône river (Lyon...) - Mediterranean Sea (Barcelona - Valencia...) - Nerja, lasting several months. There will be a walking group and another group going by boat. The participants can switch the groups.
In Germany:
🚶 Someday in summer Ostfriesland Walk: northwest Germany.
Changes are possible...
Walkabouts (Walks):
These are mostly five-day long outdoor hikes with a focus on nature and connection in South Spain, in the summer maybe in France. Our ideas can change. Sometimes we decide to do a walkabout at short notice. In order not to miss them, I suggest you subscribe to the newsletter, to get the invitations by email.

Mulberry Retreats:
Regularly in August, mulberries ripen in the mountains south of the Sierra Nevada (Alpujarras), which particularly excite us, along with the figs and grapes. Then we do our retreats there. These are week-long camps with day hikes and workshops with a focus on nature and connection. Also suitable for children.
🚣
Paddling tours:
Regularly in October, we borrow a boat from our friend Manfred, paddle it on the Mediterranean Sea for a week and sleep on the beaches. If you cannot bring a boat, we might be able to borrow another boat for you. Some paddling experience is good, but not essential.
