»Über Trassen und Halden« ins neuen LifeCycle Magazin
Im aktuellen LifeCycle-Magazin berichte ich von unserer Teilnahme am ersten Ride Around The Ruhr – einem 600 Kilometer langen Gravel-Abenteuer durchs Ruhrgebiet. Zwischen staubigen Schotterpisten, legendären Halden und industriekulturellem Charme haben wir nicht nur überraschend viel Natur entdeckt, sondern auch unsere Grenzen. Und wie es sich anfühlt, wenn ein Förster mitten in der Nacht dein Nachtlager findet? Das lest ihr im Artikel.

Family on board – Sailing from Spain to Madeira
Traveling for more than one year on a sailing boat? What sounds like a dream to most people became reality for my friends Nico and Theresa with their baby »Joni«. I had the honor to travel with them and another friend for more almost a month, sailing from southern Spain to Morocco and later to Madeira.
Adventure Talk – Sharing my experiences with you
“Happiness is only real when shared” – there is a lot of truth in this well-known quote from “Into The Wild”. Many adventures are associated with hardships
Holy Gravel — The trinity of doom tracing the Apostels
»Holy Gravel« is a non-commercial Gravel event starting and finishing in Hamburg. It’s know for it’s high percentage of gravel, single trail and sandy sections, leading you through the most beautiful parts of north-eastern Germany. The event offers two routes: a shorter one accounting for 550 km and a longer 750 km ride. Nils, Gunnar and me had chosen the short one, since we only had three days to finish the track due to family responsibilities.
Gran Guanche Gravel Audax — Ultra Bikepacking across the Canary Islands
A few hundred kilometers off the African main land we’ll find a group of volcanic islands sticking out of the Atlantic ocean. This surreal place ranging from desert-like landscapes over foggy rain forrest to lush pastureland is the home of GranGuanche, a bikepacking route that takes you to the most stunning places on the Canary islands.
Alpine Medicine Training in the Alps
Sometimes it’s important to look outside the box, get a new perspective and leave your comfort zone. Regarding my main job as an intern at the end of the second year of training in internal medicine I was at this point. I really like most parts of my job in the hospital but I sometimes lacks the adventurous moments that I’m normally looking for in my photography and travel life.
‘Route des Grandes alpes’ — Cycling over 1000 Km across the French alps
Elevation? This had never played a role for me as a cyclist living in northern Germany — until now. The only thing thats in my way, riding from A to B up here is the headwind. So now a new player came on the scene. After my school friend Arnold had suggested the Route des Grandes Alpes, I came to the conclusion that the only way to find out if I like it is to just give it a try.
Kungsleden – A Backcountry Ski Tour across freezing Lapland
We want to do a multi-day ski trip across the "Fjell", the Swedish mountain landscape starting in the city of Abisko. For more than a week we will be cut off from civilization. Everything we need we have in the "pulks" (a kind of sled) with us or we will find in one of the self-catering huts of the STF in which we will sleep.
Rock climbing in Mallorca
Mallorca is without doubt one of the most popular holiday destinations. Unfortunately the image of the island is characterized by the well know mass tourism spots and drinking hordes of German and British tourists. This kind of distracts from the beautiful and down to earth parts of the island, the great outdoors and climing areas you can find on Mallorca. It’s fair to say I was pleasantly surprised visiting Mallorca for the first time ever.
My Bikepacking Gear List
I was asked several times what I bring for my bikepacking tours. So I decided to put up a list of the stuff I’m brining on an average trip. Notice that the gear you need is very dependent on the weather, length of you trip and resupply options. I only use this setup for shot to medium long trips with the possibility of daily resupply with water and food.
Cold Hawaii – Surfing the Danish North Sea
Nørre Vorupør is a small town at the Danish west coast, a place I already knew from my Bikepacking trip to Skagen this summer. This area of Denmark is also called “cold Hawaii” because of the good surfing conditions you’ll find there. Depending on the wind out on the North Sea you get some nice surfable waves.
Bikepacking Denmark’s west coast to Skagen
If I've learned anything in the past two years, it's that you don't have to go far to experience an adventure. Most of the time you can start right at your own doorstep, with little luggage and without a big budget. Whether it will be an adventure depends much more on your own attitude.
