Recently I did another VGN hike, the Trail of Poetry from Postbauer-Heng, to Oberferrieden in the area surrounding Nuremberg. Here is my report on the hike, and why you should add it to the list! Length: 11 kilometersTime: around 3 hours. I did it in 3:14. With a coffee break. Getting to the starting point from Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is easy thanks to the S bahn or regional train leaving from the main station, and you can start or walk this hike from either starting point. Its the S1 going to Neumarkt that you need for this hike. I always like to start further away, so I have a bit shorter…

The Camino that starts in Porto Portugal (Or Lisbon) and ends in Santiago is a popular route for people that do not have the month to spend on the Camino Frances. It is also a good starting point for people that want to do their first Camino. I walked the Camino Portuguese because it was my first time doing a Camino and I wanted to try it out. The hikes that I did before this where all backpacking trips with tent. So sleeping in a hostel or alberque every night was new for me and quite the luxury. If your thinking about doing a Camino I highly suggest this route.…
