This time our hike in early January 2022 went to the flat plain of the Rhine valley north near Karlsruhe in Germany. We had chosen this route because it is a bit more relaxed to walk without climbs and also we did not know the area yet. The Rhine valley north of Basel is about 50 km wide and completely flat.

Just before Christmas, a 16km tour took us into the Palatinate Forest to Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in Rhineland/Palatinate in 2021. Neustadt is quite an old town with a historic old town. We hiked through the nearby forest around a small mountain to the top and then back to the town.

A business trip took me to Finland for four days in November 2021. For me, it was my first trip to the country. I had booked a flight to Helsinki and then drove with a rental car, about 200 km to Turku and later back again. Due to the winter season it was always quite early dark and the days very short.

How does a 60€ per day rental house look like in Tuscany region in Italy?
We went to Italy for a week to relax a bit and see the unknown area of Tuscany. The two of us rented a whole house for 60€ a day. This is much cheaper than a hotel and at the same time has much more comfort. The house was about 15 minutes by car from the Tuscan beach in Viareggio, a well-known tourist area.

Cararra was not far from our house by the sea. A visit to the mines was therefore naturally on the agenda. The famous white marble has been mined in Cararra for over 2500 years. Everything in the area is about marble. Here we were in a stalactite cave in the mountains and in the mines of Cararra.

After the strenuous hikes and the crisis, we had earned a short holiday at the Italian sea. We chose the town of Viareggio in Tuscany.
