Rio Cangrejal und Parque Nacional Pico Bonito
Eine Hammer Rafting Tour mit 3er und 4er Wildwasserpassagen.
Julia is scouting the trail on cedar creek through the flooded Congaree National Park. The Ally Expedition canoe easily offers space for us and the bikes to roll back to the camper - the 23kg of the canoe (when taken apart) can be carried in a big backpack. #expedition #adventure #natgeoadventure #natgeowild #natgeotravel #canoe #congaree #outdoorwomen #outdoorliving #outdooradventures #allycanoe #canoeexpedition #findyourpark #nationalpark #southcarolina #usa #2bfree #wanderlust #travel

Nice hike to the Kjeragbolten. We found and made use of a very little time window within the constant heavy rain forecast over the past days around Lysefjord area. Got soaken wet on the way back, but that was worth it...

The famous stavechurch in Heddal ist the biggest of its kind in Norway. The wodden construction is over 1000 years old and still about 1/3 of the tarred pine-tree beams are from this time. Just amazing to visit this place.

I really love that feeling when climbing a super nice crag and having time to look around to enjoy the fantastic view and a beautiful landscape like here in Kvam/Norway. At these days the grade of the route is not important at all - it’s much more the magic moment which counts and remains in your memories.

Praying time - monks during the spiritual evening ritual at Wat Xieng Thong - Luang Prabang, Lao #monks #praying #spiritual #WatXiengThong #LuangPrabang #lao #temple #buddha #ravel #natgeo #2bfree #wanderlust
Der kalifornische Kondor galt vor etwa 30 Jahren als so gut wie ausgestorben. Weltweit war der Bestand aufgrund Bejagung und passiver Vergiftung durch Pestizide auf gerade mal etwas mehr als 20 Vögel zusammengeschrumpft. Der drohende Verlust betraf nicht weniger als eine Art, die schon vor über 30.000 Jahren ihre orangerot gefärbten, nackten Köpfe in eiszeitliche Mammutkadaver versenkte.
Während jener letzten Eiszeit erstreckte sich das Verbreitungsgebiet der Riesenvögel (immerhin beträgt ihre Spannweite bis zu drei Meter und macht sie damit nach ihren engen Verwandten, den Andenkondoren zum zweitgrößten flugfähigen Vogel der Erde) noch auf große Teile des amerikanischen Kontinents – hin von der pazifischen Westküste bis hinüber nach Florida und hinauf bis zum heutigen Staat New York.
Das wir –im Jahr 2016– auf der Baja California, mit einem solchen Moment belohnt werden könnten, hatten wir uns im Traum nicht ausgemalt, als wir beschlossen die 100 einsamen Kilometer landeinwärts in den Parque Nacional San Pedro Mártir zu fahren. Steil zog sich die Straße in immer enger werdenden Abschnitten hinauf bis auf 2800 Meter über dem Meer. Je höher sich der Ducato dabei unter spürbarem Protest schraubte, ja grandioser und erhabener wurde die Landschaft.
Nach 70-jähriger Abwesenheit wurden hier 2003 die ersten 6 Kondore wieder in die Freiheit entlassen. Das erste Küken schlüpfte im April 2007. Insgesamt leben in der Sierra de San Pedro Mártir nun um die 20 Pärchen und weltweit hat sich die Population bis zum heutigen Tag auf etwas mehr als 200 freilebende Tiere erholt. Daneben leben zusätzlich etwa gleich viele in Gefangenschaft.
Der Moment, diese Tiere in freier Wildbahn zu erleben, zu beobachten und von ihnen umringt auf Tuchfühlung gehen zu dürfen war sicher einer der spektakulärsten unserer gesamten Reise. Vielen Danke liebe Mutter Natur für dieses einmalige Geschenk! #californiacondor #bird #BajaCalifornia #Mexiko #2bfree #NationalPark #sierradesanpedromartir #Vogel #Wildlife #KalifornischerKondor #Kondor #Mexico #nature #mountains #neverstopexploring #adventure

Once in a lifetime...
...visiting one of the climbing Mekkas of the world.
Flatangers "Hanshallaren" cave for sure belongs to this places, known as climbing Mekkas. But not just because of Adam Ondras 'Silence', worlds first 9c (UIAA 12). The area offers far more than 'just' this. Besides climbing from 4c to 9c, there is a stunning landscape to explore in vertical and horizontal direction. And further more, the archipelago is a fantastic place for kajaking and fishing, too.

For sure, everybody knows the Grand Canyon - but who knows the 'Bleik Canyon' which is by the way twice as deep?
I bet without using Wikipedia or Google there might be a rare number of people knowing this place and for what it's famous for.
The underwater canyon starts about 15 km offshore from Andenes/Norway and is a nature habitat for many underwater species, such as sperm whales, humpback whales, fin whales and killer whales (orcas).
We were lucky and could see both, sperm whales and orcas during a 5 hour ocean trip with the very friendly and competent team of @whalesafariandenes Thank you for the great opportunity!

Top of Scandinavia, top of Norway.
Of course, many of my climbing or alpine friends do know most of the highest peaks of the central Europe countries, but pretty sure almost nobody knows the name of the highest peak of Norway and Scandinavia...
Galdhøppigen!
And as there are too many comfortable hikes from different huts to the 2469m summit available, we were looking for a real challenge to value the mountain in a special way.
We gave it a try by a little 'fair means' and skipped the huts at all. We started at 4:15am at the entrance of valley and cycled 18km and 700m elevation and took all the necessary gear (which isn't a lot to be honest) with us. We reached Spliterstulen hut at 6:00 and locked the bikes there. We hiked up via the Svellnose summit and Keilhaus Topp summit to the top.
We did well and reached Galdhøppigen after another 3,5 hours. Actually not all too bad for the ~1400m elevation gain, but more important was the fact, that the crowds were far behind us. So we had our peace to enjoy the beauty of this mountain just ourselves (okay, with two others but this is absolutely not much).
And when it started to become busy after a while we just moved to the southwest summit which is about 30m lower. Nobody will disturb there for hours as everyone is focused to the summit itself. Even if that means to share with hundreds of people. Strange...
At the end of the day we climbed 4 summits and made a 50km roundtrip with over 2000 meter elevation gain.
Chapeau!!!

Amazing!
Felt already good to cross the Atlantic Ocean Road near Kristiansund with the Truck, but cycling all the way and back right after sunrise was an great and lasting experience.

There is quite a difference in terms of temperature between late summer days in Norway and central Europe. But luckily there is also quite a difference of beeing away from the crowds here.

Good for this black-capped squirrel monkey that he always has his umrella with him - especially in Costa Ricas long lasting rainy season. #2bfree #nature #monkey #costarica #rainyseason #wildlife #outdoor #monkeylove #animal #neverstopexploring
What a start in the day! Soaking wet, but worth it.
Lofoten in September may not be sunny and warm, but on the other hand it offers nature views like this. Mind blowing!

Enjoying the very nice atmosphere of old town Danzig. There was a mix of street music, people, bars and street life while we were sitting in the windows of our Airbnb flat with a cold beer and one of the best views we’ve ever had. Perfect scenery. #2bfree #streetlife #danzig #gdansk #poland #city #architecture #oldhouses #timberframing
