VAUDE Experience:
A blog
by adventurers, for adventurers
Mit dem Rad aus dem Ruhrgebiet nach Schottland fahren – das klang für mich nach einem tollen Plan und einem unvergesslichen Bikepacking-Abenteuer. Das war es auch! Doch wie so oft auf solchen Reisen kam der Punkt, wo man sich die „Warum?“-Frage stellt. Antworten darauf gibt es viele.
Hast Du dich schon immer gefragt, was Atmungsaktiv bedeutet und wie unsere Funktionsbekleidung das hinbekommt? Die passende Antwort findest Du in diesem kurzen Clip!

Feierabend – nach einem ausgefüllten Arbeitstag in der Bikeacademy juckt es noch in den Wadeln. Ein wolkenloser Himmel und warme Temperaturen laden zu einer Übernachtung am Berg ein – vielleicht die letzte Möglichkeit in dieser Saison um am großen Rettenstein zu biwakieren.
Daniel Geismayr vom Team CENTURION VAUDE holt sich in einem packenden Rennen den Vizeweltmeistertitel. Die Ziele und Messlatte waren nach Bronze bei den Mountainbike Marathon Weltmeisterschaften 2017 hoch und wurden nun mit einer Glanzleistung getoppt.
Was gibt es schöneres als eine Nacht unterm Sternenhimmel? Also einfach Schlafsack und Isomatte schnappen und raus in den Wald? So einfach ist es leider nicht. Ein Ratgeber.
Europe, a continent viewed as the centre of the universe is, in fact, an offshoot of Asia. Great Britain, former centre of the world’s largest empire, lies on the outskirts of Europe. The Old Forge, a pub on Scotland’s Knoydart peninsula, can only be reached on foot or by boat.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.
