Hiking Germany

It was a sunny and another perfect day to embark on the second hike of what I like to call the "Triple Crown of Schleswig Holstein". The triple crown officially refers to a title you earn when you finish all three long distance hikes in the US. The Pacific Crest Trail, The Continental Divide Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Of course, our triple crown only takes three days, while the original last roughly 15 months. It is still a great motivation. Follow along as we embark on this new trip.

The "De bannig groote Tour" is a 30 km long day hike that leads you from the ocean, through fields and incredibly forests before you reach the ocean again. It is not a route for beginners. It is crucial that you have great shoes with you, warm up and take enough food and water.

As a long distance hiker, I have a passion for walking everywhere. As I spend an afternoon looking for long distant hiking paths in Germany, I discovered a website called the Megamarsch. Hike 50km in 12 hours or 100km in 24 hours. All adventures start with an idea. And this idea soon turned into a bought ticket.
