Wissembourg is a small town in France on the border with Germany at the foot of the Vosges Mountains. In this hike, we started in Wissembourg in early 2022 winter and walked through the forests and vineyards towards Germany and back.

A Sunday in January with quite moderate weather invited to a small trip by car. France is open for fully vaccinated and so I drove after a long time once again in the Northern Vosges. The Northern Vosges are opposite the Black Forest on the French side of the Upper Rhine Valley.

In the third year of the crisis and in early January 2022, we finally went on a little hike again. The route was again around 16 km and this time took us along the upper Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. Actually, January is pretty much the worst time of year to be outside, but still better than being inside when the weather is reasonably good, that is when it’s not raining.

This hike was to Bad Dürkheim in Reinland Pfalz in Germany at the end of 2021. First it went uphill through forests and then in a circle back to Bad Dürkheim. In between, some restaurants should actually be open in the summer, but of course everything was closed during our visit. Special highlights were a castle ruin, a monastery ruin and a graduation house.

Shortly after New Year’s Day 2022, I went on a little excursion to an area I had not yet been to. I drove through the city of Schwäbisch Hall. This city was different than I had imagined before and I walked a little through the old town. In the old town there are very many almost 500 year old houses to see.

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.
