Keep close to Nature's heart. and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." - John Muir. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. A 24 Hour Trip. I haven't posted recently because I've been spending my free time preparing for the launch of a startup rather than getting outside, but I did find 24 hours to sneak away for a much needed trip to the mountains. Upper Horn Fork Basin. So after a brief stay on the summit I started my descent back to camp. There a...

The below video was posted to the CAIC's Facebook page. EDIT:...

Trekking Wild: Via Dinarica - 1300 Kilometer durch die Berge des Balkan 13/ Bosnien/ nach Kalinovik
http://geraldtrekkt.blogspot.com/2016/12/via-dinarica-1300-kilometer-durch-die_14.html
Via Dinarica - 1300 Kilometer durch die Berge des Balkan 13/ Bosnien/ nach Kalinovik. Früh am Morgen laufe ich bereits weiter auf der Straße, auf der es glücklicherweise so gut wie keinen Verkehr gibt. Entfernt geht über der tiefen Schlucht der Neretva die Sonne auf. In diese Richtung laufe ich und bin schon sehr gespannt, was mich dort erwartet. Sonnenaufgang über der Neretva Schlucht. Die Neretva ist ein beliebter Raftingfluss. Ich überquere den Fluss, dem ich ja bereits bei Jablanica begegnet war, auf...
