@movq@www.uninformativ.de @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, a festival, indeed! :-D There was also âRaupenkriegâ (caterpillar war): jumping against each other in sleeping bags. I reckon that counts as pogo or mosh pit.
And back in the days, we had wonderful deep mud all around us, too! In extreme years we even needed to leave the camp ground for a day and walk to a gym with all the kids. There was just too much rain and the creek dangerously high.
We once had an actual creek running through the dining tent before the kids arrived. Luckily, it didnât originate from the official creek, but the water came down the hillside. Unimaginable today with all these droughts in summer. Many creeks around here are dried up for several weeks, if not months now.
There you go, enjoy my favorite selection of yummy chocolate on the ground!

It was a question of the mindset. Once we supervisors just made the best out of it and tried to had fun, the kids typically didnât mind the mess either. Besides building huts, one of the most favorite things ever was actually âMatschschöpfenâ (scooping mud). The kids scooped puddles into wheel barrows using giant soup ladles from the kitchen. âSorry kids, time is up for today. Whoever sits in the closing circle first gets to go first tomorrow.â Unfortunatly, I donât find any photos from that.
@david@daiwei.me Hahaha! The thing is, it doesnât taste as good in summer as in winter for some unknown reason. Two or three decades ago I asked my grandma to bake some of her amazing gingerbread in summer. But she always refused, claiming that this only really works in winter. Of course, I didnât believe that. Finally, after years of begging and pleading, she finally made a tray. And to my surprise, she was right. It wasnât bad, no, no, not at all. It was really yummy. But the gingerbread in winter was just better. :-/
Maybe I should give it a shot myself. Perhaps she slightly changed the recipe on purpose. So that I will never break the tradition of seasonal food again. :-P It worked, at least I never asked her to bake gingerbread in summer again. :-D
@david@daiwei.me Oh boy, that looks super yummy! :-) I want to have rain here, too!
The dairy farm has a new milk vending machine. The prices increased by 20%. One liter is now 1.20⏠instead of 1.00âŹ. But I donât complain.
In a few meters of shrubs there were easily 50 butterflies. That was crazy, Iâve never seen this many in one spot. I should have taken a video.
The grain field in the beginning was looking so great. Crazy colorful and very yummy looking. I would have loved to take a bite. Or at least lie down right in the middle.
That was another great time in the outdoors. The 21°C were killing us, though. We were always glad when we reached a shady spot with a little breeze. Iâm not gonna survive the 35°C later this week. :-(
Holy moly, these thunderstorm clouds are blacker than black, wow! The rain smells so wonderful. Yummy!
We went on a 14Â kilometers long hike in the heat, only a few spots were in the shade, most of our trip was in the open fields with the sun beating down on us. We reapplied the sun blocker after about two hours or so. All in all it took us about three and a half hours before we reached our destination Besigheim.
Last time I was there it was rainy, now we had the exact opposite. After some yummy Chinese lunch we visited the old town. Thereâs some gorgeous timer framing to see. When kept in decent shape, it just looks so dang cool.
Since it was too hot, we rode back by train. Despite the heat and some sections near the roaring Autobahn, this was a nice hike. Would do it again. Only in colder weather, though. I certainly donât wanna trade my comperatively larger (still nothing to other more rural areas), covering forests with the wide open fields and vineyards in summer. Thatâs for sure.

A mate and I had an amazing but also exhausting hike to the highest of the Three Emperor Mountains yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Sunny 18°C, blue sky with barly a cloud and a little welcoming breeze, just beautiful.
Mt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. Itâs also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both arenât at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.
We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devilâs pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Havenât come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, itâs yummy.
We were glad when we were finally back home after some 26 or 27km. I wonât do much today and let my feet rest. Another friend called for a much, much shorter hike tomorrow.
Enjoy the 92 photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-stuifen-2025-04-19/
