Bikepacking – 10 gute Gründe für Slow-Travel mit Mehrwert
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.
Eine Nacht unter dem großen Rettenstein
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.
BAMBOOBASTI im Interview (Part I)
Sebastian Gutmann. Charaktereigenschaften: Ehrgeizig, motiviert, empathisch, lustig und teils etwas dickköpfig. Mein Arbeitsunfall am 10. August 2010: Ich verlor damals fast meine linke Hand. Das war wie mein zweiter Geburtstag. Ich änderte mein komplettes Leben und schlug eine andere Richtung ein.
Bikerunde durch die Niederlande
Radfahren ist in Holland nicht Nationalsport sondern Lebensweise. Ein guter Grund also, das mal selbst zu überprüfen 😉 Und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Holland hat Radfahrern überraschend viel zu bieten…
Mit dem Rad durch das Königreich der Himmel
Für ihre letzte Reise haben die beiden etwas Neues ausprobiert. Mit leichtem Bikepacking-Equipment und reisetauglichen Mountainbikes drei Wochen lang durch die Südafrikanische Provinz KwaZulu-Natal, Freestate und das Nachbarland Lesotho.
Trailabenteuer mit Sack und Pack
Unterwegs mit dem Mountainbike, das komplette Gepäck direkt am Rad befestigt, so dass man als sportlicher Biker volle Bewegungsfreiheit genießt – das ist es, was freiheitsliebende Biker unter Abenteuer pur verstehen.

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.
