D · Baumberge: Fitness training [17 June 2021]
For more than a year, pandemic-related restrictions have led to most people moving less than before. It took a considerable amount of self-discipline to reduce calorie intake to the same extent as calorie consumption in order to keep body proportions in line. Not everyone succeeded – but even if self-discipline was not enough, it is easy to realise, that everyone always has their weight development in their own hands, and that it is never too late to make corrections.
It was therefore our basic motivation to train and thus get fit for SNT and TNT 2021. In the “Baumberge“ (en.wikipedia.org), there are some ground monuments, rests of natural medieval defence measures called “Landwehr“ (en.wikipedia.org) [en: land defence].
Some information on restrictions to protect these ground monuments is obviously new. We looked for and found other ways to get around these monuments, so that future generations can also get an impression of them.
We shortened the planned hiking route: Instead of the planned 17 km with 500 m of difference in altitude, we ended up with only 15 km with 430 m of difference in altitude – Münsterland, known as a quite flat region, offers also such challenges.
Together with my tour with Jürgen the day before, this resulted in ca. 31 km and 1,070 m of difference in altitude in two days – for a start, I am satisfied.

Short, dark winter days, together with restrictions to stem Corona infections, were already stressful enough for people. The onset of winter in February with unusually extensive snowfall and persistent frost causing road and rail traffic to collapse in many places in North Rhine-Westphalia, restr...
