Chattanooga
Eigentlich beginnt diese Episode unserer Reise schon weit vor Chattanooga – und zwar am Ocoee River. Aber zu diesem Vorspann möchte ich Julia (aka Ich habe Feuer gemacht) zu Wort kommen lassen…

Ostersonntag am Lake Santeetlah – oder die Geschichte mit der Ostermaus
Alles fängt immer irgendwie an – diese Geschichte mit einem einfachen unscheinbaren Knistern. Es war ein schöner Tag, der mit einem Besuch im überaus interessanten und empfehlenswerten Cherokee-Museum begann und uns im

Great Smoky Mountains National Park & Cherokee
Bevor wir in den eigentlichen Great Smoky Mountains Nationalpark weiterfahren, führt unser Weg zwangsläufig am Ende des Blueridge Parkway durch das Gebiet (Reservat) der Cherokee Indianer. Zugegeben – die Stadt Cherokee an sich hat
Was für ein Kajak! Das @prijongmbh Dayliner S scheint die perfekte Wahl für Julia zu sein. Vielen Dank an das kompetente Team von @denkoutdoor für die freundliche Top-Beratung. Die lange Anfahrt aus Thüringen und die Stunden bei euch haben sich echt mehr als gelohnt.
Wir konnten es natürlich kaum erwarten, das Kajak auch gleich auszuprobieren und hatten nach den letzten Regentagen gestern auf unserem Homespot, dem Hohenwarte Stausee, die Möglichkeit dies zu tun. Chapeau!

Are you able to spot @juuuliiiiiiiia in here blue Kajak?
What a trip paddling through the archipelago north of Stockholm towards Ängsö National Park.
We were staying overnight on this beautiful island continuing to Ängsö early next morning and returned late in the evening. Both, the first and last hours of the day are probably the very best to kajak and explore the beauty of Swedens eastern coastline.

Very nice hiking here in Tiveden National Park. Combined almost all hikes to fill the day and finally got lazy legs.
Highly recommendable, but start about 6 in the morning to get the best views and escape the growd.

What a night! We have seen our first northern light here in Norway.
At exactly 68°55′38.62″N (north of the Lofoten) we had great luck with a party clear scy around midnight. A childhood dream came true for both of us last night. Now, we are looking forward to see them hopefully more often.

Top of Poland. An early start gave us about 30 minutes of silence to enjoy the beautyfull panorama of both the Rysy summits (high point of Poland and the slightly higher top located in Slovakia) and the High Tatra just ourselves.

We spend almost a week in #Belogradtschik - climbing and hiking. Fall is definitely a good time to go there, but actually there is no peak season at all. As there were books on each of the peaks, we could see that nobody climbed the routes the entire year. All routes (opened about 10 years ago) were still counted. One route had just 7 ascents at all.

Not our first encounter with a moose here in Norway, but the first where they gave us the opportunity to get the camera ready...
As we are still not sure what the difference between moose and elk is - maybe someone can comment this here.

Nice bike and hike today. First the Trollstigen via bike and then further up hiking to the Trollveggen top. Amazing view into the legendary 1100m Trollwall. If you just compare numbers, the wall is, in terms of vertical dimensions, about 200m higher than El Capitan in Yosemite.
It's the tallest vertical rock face all over Europe and well worth a visit.
To climb it, is a total different story and besides the missing capabilities to climb it (the ridge overhangs the base about 50m at the steepest section), I (we) simply do not have the balls to even give it a try.
Does anybody know anyone who climbed it already and can share some information 1st hand?

Worth it!
But you'll never know unless you try and find out.
This is why we often choose the more adventureous option to discover a famous destination like in this case the seven sisters in Norway / Geiranger Fjord. 99% of all visitors come via speedboat from Geiranger or just see the beauty of the fjord from the quite expensive ferry while crossing from Hellesylt to Geiranger.
And if there are paddlers, their preferred start is also Geiranger as it is just a 10km return trip from there.
Paddling all the way from Hellesylt and back makes it to an challenging 30km mini-adventure , facing headwinds and waves for almost half the distance.
But this allows us to time it in a way to reach the falls when most of the others have already left and the annoying sounds of the speedboats have faded away.
Very nice ambient then to enjoy - when the evening-sun diffracts on the steep cliffs of this amazing UNESCO world heritage site.

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.

Das Natur-Reservat "Die Breite" ist eines von Europas größten Grasland Plateaus mit einem riesigen Bestand an Eichen, von denen manche schon existiert haben als im nahegelegenen Schäßburg (Sighisoara) der Grundstein der Bergkirche gesetzt wurde.
Wir sind beeindruckt und froh diesen Platz gefunden zu haben und lassen uns hier von der Natur drei Tage lang verzaubern.

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
Approaching the Danube delta is not the easiest task at all...
But once getting there it's a perfect place to start with the Kanu to explore the delta

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
