22. June 2023     A look outside in the morning said: it’s dry but cloudy. Who knows if it will stay that way. A look inside my shoes said: they are not completely dry, but acceptable to slip into. A feel into my muscles said: there’s still some way to go. A discussion with … Continue reading Jvarboseli -> Omalo – better than expected → Read more

21. June 2023     Just on the day when we wanted to cross a high pass, it looked as if the evening, night and morning rain would not stop. But what else can one do but put on rain gear, open the umbrella (I belong to the rare species of hiker with an umbrella, … Continue reading Girevi -> Jvarboseli – rain, rain and rain → Read more

20. June 2023     During and after a delicious breakfast it rained. I went for a little walk in the rain. And around 11:00 am we set off – we had chosen a shorter route. First we went up through a beautiful flowering meadow.               I took the … Continue reading Dartlo -> Girevi – something forbidden, deserted and shortened → Read more

19. June 2023     The morning was foggy and overcast, but by the time we started, it had cleared and we had wonderful, soft light and a really good hiking mood.   I always wanted to introduce my hiking friends, but I don’t have a nice photo of the two of them together. But … Continue reading Diklo -> Dartlo – Dogs, Turkeys and Defense Towers → Read more

18. June 2023     There were a few other people in the accommodation and mattresses had been laid out on the balcony where people were also sleeping. Including a dog. During breakfast, the cows started to graze and then we also set off.       By the way, in Tusheti there is no … Continue reading Omalo -> Diklo – Forest, Meadows and Village → Read more

17. June 2023     Nino and Pavels wanted to hike from guesthouse to guesthouse in Tusheti for 5 days and asked if I wanted to come along. Since the timing was perfect, I was happy about this opportunity. In Georgia, I didn’t want to walk such distances alone – especially not in Tusheti, which … Continue reading Tbilisi -> Omalo – dangerous Road → Read more

June 2023     I was in Kyrgyzstan for the first time in March/April 2022. I liked it very much, but it was too early in the year to meet nomads (they were not yet on the road) and to do a lot of (multi-day) hiking. I would have to come in summer for that. … Continue reading Kyrgyzstan – before the second Trip → Read more

14. – 16. June 2023     This for now my 4. accommodationt in Tbilisi. On the photo below it is the window above the AirCon.     And again I’m fascinated by how rotten and broken a house with a hallway etc. is – but how pleasant it looks behind the appartement door. I … Continue reading Tbilisi – touches me → Read more

12. June 2023     I got up quite early to start the Gergeti-Glacier-Hike. The weather app and the window view looked like I was lucky with the weather. Since the tour was described as very long, I shortened it a bit by taking a car to the church, which saved me some metres in altitude … Continue reading Kazbegi – Green Pastures and White Snowy Mountains → Read more

10. + 11. June 2023     From Kutaisi I wanted to go to the next mountain region, Kazbegi. To get there, you first have to go back to Tbilisi, but it’s quick and uncomplicated. I even had a very comfortable Marshrutka, where only half the seats were occupied, and a fast driver (on the … Continue reading Kazbegi – Military Road, Stepantsminda and Church → Read more
