2024 Hiking Season

My 2024 hiking season is over. It started with the Eggeweg in Spring, however problems with feet meant I did not hike again until September. To make up for lost time I consecutively thru-hiked the Soonwaldsteig, Pfalzer Waldpfad, Seensteig and Donauberglandweg at the start of that month, and managed to squeeze in the Hermannsweg as a separate hike at the end. Combined, that was almost 600km in 2024, with over 500km in September.

Now that the hiking is over I’ll turn my attention to updating the website and existing GPX files. My plan is to simplify the existing Trails pages, focusing on the GPX file downloads and maps which I use during my hikes. I’ll add the hikes I’ve done, plus add a few that I’d like to do in 2025. I’d like to expand the Gear section with some personal experiences and maybe add some general hiking tips pages. Hope to get all that finished before the 2025 hiking season begins.
