Season finale of the LWA Community 2025
It had been raining for days when we arrived at the site and the puddles were still there, but the weather cleared just in time for the 2025 season finale and in the evening, as the pizzas were roasting in the stone oven, we were bathed in the evening sun.

Four seasons in the Hunsrück 2024 - Multiday at its best!

BayerWald 2024 - Was it summer already?
We were prepared for everything: Sleet from the side, snow on the tents, sub-zero temperatures at the start, very high water levels, water levels that were almost too low. After all, we had already experienced all of this in the three previous trips on this extraordinary tour. But...
