Mind Games- Cleaned Ep.03
When I walked up this track for the first time it was a pretty special feeling. On one hand I was impressed by the beautiful landscape, but on the other hand I started to feel a bit nervous….
Vaude Biivouac
Vaude Biivouac has become a yearly experience, almost unmissable. It is an honor to discover, every year, a new mountain bike destination in France. Another chance to remember that France has so many great places to ride bikes.
David Lama – Biwak – Nepal
Als mich letzten Sommer Stephan Keck anrief und mir von der Errichtung des David Lama Biwaks und der Reise nach Nepal erzählte, musste ich schmunzeln… „Der David. Selbst nach seinem traurigen Verlust noch immer eine Bereicherung für mich“.
Zwischen Glockengeläut und Nebelzauber – Unser Wochenende mit MyCabin
Wieso wir zum Zelten extra auf einen Bauernhof fahren und nicht einfach einen Campingplatz in der Gegend aufsuchen? Und wieso wir dann nicht einfach unser Zelt auf irgendeiner grünen Wiese im Hinterland aufbauen? Wir erzählen es euch 🙂
Radreise auf dem Europaradweg R1 von Elblag (PL) nach Helsinki (FIN)
Am 01. Juli 2019 begaben sich meine Frau und ich mit etwa 20 kg Gepäck, das aus zwei Packtaschen, einer Lenkertasche, einer Gepäckträgertasche sowie ein wenig Werkzeug auf den für uns dritten und letzten Abschnitt des Europaradwegs R1 von Elblag (PL) bis Helsinki (FIN).
Draußen schlafen – a bärige Gschicht oder doch eine Bärengeschichte?
Es ist Ende Juli des vergangenen Jahres und der Wetterbericht prognostiziert stabiles Hochsommerwetter für die kommende Woche. Heiße Tage, laue Nächte… der richtige Zeitpunkt für eine Nacht im Freien. Es wird ein Mountainbike Abenteuer mit alpinem Biwak.

The Story
The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
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.

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.
