Day 111 – 0 km – Thursday 15.08.2024 I actually wanted to sleep in today, but at 5:30 I’m awake. I spontaneously change my plan to take the bus at 1:30 p.m. Apparently a bus also runs earlier and so I set off at 7 a.m. I walk from the…

Day 88 – 10.8 km – Tuesday 23.07.2024 Since the store doesn’t open until 8 a.m., I’ll be left until 7 a.m. Then I pack my stuff and sit down in the hiker area. Since most hikers can’t really sleep longer either, many people soon sit around. I see many…

Day 74 – 51.2 km – Tuesday 09.07.2024 I get up early and eat oats. Apparently I didn’t buy any coffee and therefore have to start running without it. Since I gave up my bear canister and this is mandatory for an overnight stay in Lasen National Park, I have…
