Happy New Year, you! We were able to catch the last rays of sunshine of 2019 over here in Eschweiler Wald. Here’s to: ending (and beginning) our year in full swing staying in motion keeping a sense of adventure ever learning, spending time with loved ones and in nature as much as we can taking… Read More Happy New Year!

Today’s walk with Mr E around Eschweiler’s Blausteinsee First time we walked this round, a pleasant surprise to find it included a bit of woodland. Anyone know what this mushroom is?

So many leaves. Novemberly impressions of Eschweiler Wald – the woodland we visit for a walk at July’s MoveSpiration weekend. What is your favourite season?

One of my favorite ways to spend autumnal walks is to get very close to tall trees, and look up. It helps me feel grounded and ‘light’ at the same time. Rooting down, standing tall, reaching up. Letting go in order to grow. Works in dance. And in life. As above. So below. And you?… Read More Looking Up

Walking through Water (from above and besides) This beautiful 4km walk (a portion of the ‘Cycling Through Water‘ route in Bokrijk, BE) featured big trees, a swan lake, many birds, falling fall foliage and epic shroomery.     A lovely autumn walk with family ?  

Last Sunday’s walk in the Wurmtaler Woods. It was a bit rainy at the start (and middle, and end), but certainly no less fun. In fact, the woods can be quite beautiful when it rains. Also, there was wizards. And we spotted these late-fall tree-huggers: What is your favourite go-to place when it rains?

This week’s favourite tree is one of two we visited during our most recent walk (the one with the tanks!) Münsterbusch & Brander Wald. We had seen them before, ‘from the side’, but for some reason we never left the pathway far enough – or had enough of a ‘zen’ mindspace – to go out… Read More The Mysterious Pasture Beech

We were lucky enough to spot these heralds of autumn on our Oberallgäu walks this September. Can you name them?    

A gorgeous hike to the waterfall complex of Hinang, as well as the nearby ‘Eybachstobel’ in Oberallgäu, Bavaria. Enjoy!  

Estimated to be at least 1000 years old (with a possibly even older root system) the Balderschwang Yew might just be Germany’s oldest tree. It’s rooted in the highest village of Germany, located in the south of Oberallgäu, Bavaria. We visited this ancient arborescence, way up in the clouds (the clouds were sitting low that… Read More Ancient Yew of Balderschwang
