#LICCA17: Per Bike, Hike & Boot von der Lechquelle bis Augsburg
Das Projekt #LICCA17: Augsburg hat den Wassern des Lech seinen Aufstieg ab dem Mittelalter zu verdanken. Woher kommt eigentlich der Fluss, der meine Heimatstadt unter anderem dazu in die Lage versetzt, sich aktuell als UNESCO Welterbe Wasserstadt zu bewerben?
Daniel Beerstecher – LAND SAILOR PROJECT # 4
Wer solch ein gewagtes Projekt in Angriff nimmt, muss Ausdauer beweisen: Mit einem umgebauten Boot über Land zu segeln ist kein leichtes Unterfangen.
Daniel Beerstecher – LAND SAILOR PROJECT # 3
…da ist er, der Wind, auf den wir gewartet hatten! Mit vollem Wind in unseren Segeln und ca. 20 km/h fliegen wir nur so über die Schotterpisten Patagoniens.
Daniel Beerstecher – LAND SAILOR PROJECT # 2
Was lange währt wird endlich gut: Nach einer 2.800 km langen Reise von Buenos Aires nach Patagonien konnte es endlich los gehen! Die letzten Vorbereitungen wurden getroffen und bald wurde das Wirklichkeit, was lange nur ein Traum war: Wir segelten über Land!

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.
