<br />
Here comes the first part of <a href="https://changehikers.blogspot.com/2018/11/retrospective.html" target="_blank">our retrospective </a>on half a year of traveling as a family and with a small child. If you want to travel safely with your child by mainly foot through the landscapes of Europe, we can gladly encourage you to actually do so since our experiences are (so far) positive. In the following posts we will also tell you about our experiences with sickness on the road, the downsides of leaving family and friends behind, the difficulties or challenges Kosma had to encounter and the benefits and challenges for us as a small family.<br />
<br />
But now, for the question: How possible is it actually to travel long distance with a child by mainly foot? I can remember some of those doubts and worries I've had before leaving, which now I can look back on and answer based on our experiences with our daughter Kosma (now two years and five months old). Please consider while reading that this knowledge gained from our journey is not empirical and can vary from child to child and family to family and journey to journey:<br /><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Will we really walk all the way? Will hitchhiking be possible with all our gear and without a children's seat for the car? <br /><br /><br />Answer: </b>No, we did not walk all the way. And luckily yes, hitchhiking is possible. <br />A favorite quote of mine is from German book author Erich Kästner and it says: "There is two kinds of people; the ones that are consequent and the ones that live." Now, this quote can also lead into wrong directions since especially as a parent sometimes you must be consequent, but for our journey flexibility turned out to be a virtue. <br /><br />We did take trains two times(for the question of how we financed this see later post): <br />- from Liége// Belgium to De Panne// Belgian coast, because I wanted to reach the sea on my 33rd birthday after 2 weeks of pain and resting from a tooth operation and<br />- from Rouen// France to Nantes// France, because our hoped for hiking trail turned out to be mainly concrete country roads and overgrown forest paths full of ticks (and I mean really! full of ticks).<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br /><br />And we were given lifts a couple of times from wonderful helpful people (thank you!!), partly strangers, partly friends and family, for example <br />- to the station of Liége and the hospital of Aachen when I was sick with toothache at a friends' place,<br />- around the troubled and industrial areas of Dunkerque and Calais in France, because our former night's hosts were worried for our safety or <br />- from an commercial area outside the city into a beautiful part of Rouen by the mother of three children who invited us even to stay in their house and wanted to help or<br />- from Mimizan to Bordeaux with a wonderful wwoofer companion we've met at the farm of Benico or<br />- from Nantes, Bretagne to Naujac-sur-Mer, Southern France with friends of ours from Germany who had decided to spend their holidays with us and last but nor least<br />- from among others Naujac-Sur-Mer to Arcachon with Jonathan's family who we've also spent some beautiful weeks and numerous car drives with during our trip.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br /><br />Regarding the <i>real</i> hitchhiking we've used our thumbs only one time so far at the Dune du Pilat and were picked after not even an hour by a wonderful mother and her daughter.<br />So Kosma many times could sit in the children's seat of other children. If not, I took her on my lap and used my seat belt on her, carefully watching that the belt will not be close to her neck but only crossing her upper body.</li>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Will my child get enough physical movement when sitting in the children's carrier (in our case the <a href="https://www.deuter.com/DE/de/kinder/kid-comfort-3-36524.html" target="_blank">deuter kid comfort 3</a>) for such long hours?</b><br /><br /><b>Answer:</b> Luckily nature is a big playground and even in cities playgrounds are part of the typical urban landscapes. So there is always the option to let your child experience its body by climbing, sliding, jumping, running etc. Of course this means a lot of breaks during the day and therefore shorter walking distances (we did around 12-15km per day in average).<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<li><b>How many kilometers can my child walk by itself? </b><br /><br /><b>Answer</b>: There exist different opinions about that among the hikers' community on the web. For an orientation I've found following rules of thumb very helpful: <br /><br /><i>1. age of the child x 1,5 = possible walking distance in km <br />2. normal h/km x 2 = the time you need for a distance when walking with a child</i><br />If your child is 8 years old this means then 12km of walking and if you usually walk 6km in 1,5 hours, you'll now need double the time, 3 hours, so in total 6 hours for 12km. In the case of Kosma (2 years old) she can walk about 3km per day by herself and where we before walked 18-35km per day, we now reach a distance of 10 to maximum 21km per day. <br />Factors like altitude difference, weather conditions and underground are not included in those formulas, so they are really only an orientation which in our case turned out to be helpful and true.<br /><br /><b><br /></b></li>
<li><b>Will my child get bored quickly while walking?<br /><br />Answer: </b>I still have some small toys in our luggage for such cases (small finger puppets, two tiny children's books, balloons, soap bubbles, paper, pencils), but fact is that we barely used them. Kosma sang a lot when sitting on my or daddy's back (she even invented an own little melody, I was very impressed), we talked about our surroundings and invented games. And during the breaks discovering the area, eating and cuddling, was enough of action and input.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<li><b>Will my back stand my child's weight and steady movements?<br /><br />Answer: </b>I'd lie if I claimed it was always a pleasure to carry around 17-20kg (11,5-13kg Kosma alone + 3,5kg deuter Kraxe + varying weight depending on the amounts if food/ diapers/ changing clothes in the Kraxe's bags). Yoga and general strengthening exercises for the back definitely help as a preparation <i>before </i>the planned trip and as a measure of relief during the trip. It is also constantly amazing to experience how adoptable our body is by testing the limits carefully (!) and never (!) overstraining. I remember for example how during the first days Kosma got too heavy for me when sleeping, so I always took care of taking a break then. But at some point it didn't make a difference anymore, probably also because I noticed how Kosma found her way of being very comfortable in the deuter carrier when being asleep. <br />Also it was of immense help to sometimes change the points of pressure and burden by switching our two carrying systems: most of the time Jonathan had the <a href="http://www.carrix.ch/informationend.html" target="_blank">Carrix</a> and I was carrying Kosma, but when we needed or wanted to, we took turns.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

changing and challenging months - are over. The days are getting
shorter, the nights colder, nature settles for its winter rest; time to
go within, for warm woolen socks, for mending our broken shoes (<a href="http://www.leguano.eu/Barfu%C3%9Fschuhe" target="_blank">leguanos</a>) and looking back on the year so far.</span></div>

plan not to have a plan turned out to be just exactly right. While most

Germany (Daniela and Kosma) - planning for a reunion in Andalucía, South of Spain, in
January 2019. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">But don't worry: this rather long break of several
weeks does not mean the end of the Changehiker project. Quite on the
contrary it is a healthy break - the first one of surely more to come -
which we use for individual space, needs and experiences. Jonathan
visited his mother in France one more time before starting his single
adventure to Andalucía - which he actually did today! - and Kosma and I are visiting family and friends in West and South Germany.<br /><br />Within the following weeks I would like to share a first estimation, a kind of reality check, with our readers on following topics and give you the chance for further questions, which then I can add to the list:<br /><i><b><br />1. How easy or possible is it actually to travel long distance with a child by mainly foot?</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><i><b>2. What are our experiences traveling with a child with little to no money? <br /><br />3. Benefits and challenges for us as family on the journey.<br /><br />4. Benefits and challenges for Kosma as a 2 year old on the journey.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"> <u><br /></u></span></div>
<u>To dwell a little in memories with us, I invite you to enjoy the following pictures of a wild mix of some of many locations where we've slept the past few months.</u> <br />
<br />
Keep on changing!<br />

"home" in our case means being there where the people and projects we
love are, and our tent is portable. And also, luckily "family" means
more than being related by blood. It means being truely devoted to other
beings (Latin origin "famulus = servant, helper"). And even though the
word "servant" is highly polluted by man's history, think of it like
that: if everyone were dedicated and devoted to everyone, no power, no
oppression, no exploitation would exist. Google is once more ahead of

Hello again everyone,<br />
<br />
I'd like to start this post with our first real streetart experience of this journey. It went like that: As already told in the post before, we were lucky to reach that marvelous coastal town called Dieppe in Normandie, on the northern French coast. It was on the eve of the summersolstice on the 20th of June that we met a very friendly little family who allowed us to put up our tent in their garden for one night.<br />

Kosma just started having a very nice time playing with Paul, the little boy of the family - wich made not only us as parents happy but also our hostfamily - and we just wondererd how quick the coastal weather can turn a sunny blue sky into thick white fogg within seconds, when our hosts told us that on the 21 of June traditionally there's "La Fête de la Musique" everywhere in France. It meant, that there would be open music and party everywhere in France and therefore also in Dieppe the next day, especially on the port. All this simply boosted our decision to dive into our first street art experience on this trip with a big smile :-))) </div>

...we made plus minus 30€ in a couple of hours in one of the main shoppingstreets of Dieppe and had a really good time, sharing our music and dance with the public and experiencing our own new approach to music with minimalistic equipment: ukulele, flutes, little percussion instruments for Kosma, Daniela and me.<br />
The next moment I saw Daniela heading into a local products shop in the very front of us and coming back some minutes later with the biggest smile, telling me, that we had by chance just played in front of the shop of one of the couchsurfers she had tried to contact the evening before. It turned out that he hadn't seen our message but that we were very welcome to couchsurf his flat right above his store, of which he luckily had posted a picture on his couchsurfing account. Daniela remembered the picture and so it took her just a few questions to make it all clear, because Antoine our amazing new host in Dieppe had indeed a very comfortable couch for us to surf in his lovely flat above his shop "<a href="http://www.les3conserveries.fr/" target="_blank">Les 3 conserveries</a>". :-)))<br />

This is one of the countles magical moments you can have, when you travel with someone as skilled as Daniela for couchsurfing, workaway, woofing, etc. What a solstice, what a start for our streetartperformances, what a town, what a day, what a everything, in short a very beautiful moment of our journey. :-))))) <br />
<br />
After spending some beautiful days with Kosmas 2nd birthday on the 23rd of June in Dieppe we faced an uneasy choice: either we continue an amazing hike that would take us along the coast of Normandie towards the amazing country of Britanny or we cut short to Nantes towards the Atlantique coast called "la côte d'argent". We finally decided for the second option for various reasons. This way we were more confident to have enough time for the first meeting between Kosma and her french Grandmother and also for the camino hike later on which would hopefully take us to Andalusia in October. <br />
<br />
So here we were starting on the camino in Dieppe. In Offranville we found after a rather disappointing Camino experience (paths were not taken care of, ticks, foot unfriendly streets, almost no shell signs or yellow arrows for giving directions) a <a href="http://www.offranville.fr/tourisme/fr/hebergement-restauration/78-camping-municipal" target="_blank">Camping</a>, where we decided to make an exception from our wildstyle-camping, which turned out to be pretty nice. Not far from it we went dumpster diving in a bakery and a Carrefour Market. We had to decide for this option because the shops where closed, so we couldn't do our usual foodsharing like described in one of our <a href="https://changehikers.blogspot.com/2015/11/now-as-many-of-you-know-jonathan-and-me.html" target="_blank">older post</a> from a previous journey in 2015. But to our suprise, halleluja what a good decision...<br />

As always we recommend dumpstered food must be cleaned pretty well as you can imagine. <br />
On the next day we walked up to Longueville where we met again lovely people and were allowed to put up our tent: in the lovely garden of Ingrid & Jordan not far away from the lovely river "La Scie", where we met Kenya the donkey as well as other lovely animals. Unfortunately Ingrid and Jordan's little daughter was at her Grandma's on this day. Her presence would have made Kosmas playing with various toys and a lovely bath in the family's Outdoor whirlpool even more amazing than it already was. <br />

Ingrid and Jordan are such a lovely family that gave us such a warm welcome. So much that Daniela and me, usually almost never drinking alcohol, accepted when they offered us a good local "Cidre de Normandie" with its usual 2%alc. </div>

On the next day Ingrid gave us a lift towards a big supermarket outside Rouen where Ingrid is working as a florist. Our plan at the time was to reach Rouen and take a train or a blablacar towards le Mans and Nantes and now luck stroke us even more big time: on the way to the next busstation towards Rouen some meters away from where Ingrid had dropped us, stopped a car with this woman inside...<br />

...Pauline, mother of three children, here with her lovely youngest son Oskar. She saw us, all our equipment and Kosma on Danielas back in the babycarrier and asked us just like that if we needed a lift, a place to sleep, food, whatever. Amaaaazing! Pauline, are you an angel from heaven on a very mission to help changehikers on their run? She took us home, showed us her house, gave us her oldest daugther's chamber to sleep in and took us to an organic farm on the very same day for collecting strawberries for everybody. She took us right to paradise for a little while, didn't she?<br />

...but whilst in heaven you have to face reality again and dive back into the matrix: we had to move on and decided to take the train from Rouen to Nantes. It was a cheap price but the trip would take us via moloch Paris because there was no direct train and also no busses from Rouen to Nantes. So we had to face what we had really wanted to avoid. A trip via Paris. In the end it turned out less bad than we expected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the successful train ride we were sitting on the floor in the Wifiarea at the mainstation of Nantes at the end of a day on the french railways, checking our beloved Hikingapp <a href="https://www.komoot.de/" target="_blank">Komoot</a> on our Smartphones to find out how we could get out of town quickly to find a nice wildcamp for the night. But can you imagine? Again paradise opend and the next angel called Valérie asked us if we needed a place to sleep for the night. This amazing mother of three almost grown up children took us 20km outside of Nantes to her wonderful house that she and her housband had amazingly renovated during the last twenty somewhat years with great space inside and even a swimmingpool outside, where Daniela, Kosma and I could enjoy the fresh water under the hot summer sun. We decided to stay some more days in paradise. ;-)</div>

He was our next couchsurferhost in Nantes and you cannot imagine a better host than him. On the first days in his nice house in Indre, Kosma got her first real child disease, the chickenpocks. These being highly contagious for everyone who either isn't vaccinated or didn't have the illness, we were thinking about taking the train quickly one more time to Jonathan's mum for waiting out the disease. But Gwen invited us with such a naturalness to let us stay on "quarantine" at his house as long as we wanted, that we were happy to stay in Nantes with him instead without having to expose Kosma to numerous people at the stations and in the trains. We stayed for two wonderful yet also exhausting weeks, being at Kosma's side and helping her through the disease which she took with ease most of the time. Gwen would on top of his hospitality take care of us by not only giving us insights into the history of Britanny, which he is so lovingly passionate about, by cityguidance and storytelling, but also by making us taste traditional Britannian dishes like the famous "Galettes Bretonnes". He even accepted to cook some vegetarian versions of them for us. ;-))) But this was not enough. He shared some amazing political conversations with us not only about the political party <a href="https://www.udb.bzh/" target="_blank">UDB</a> (Union Démocratique Bretonne) he is part of but also about his interesting local political activities.<br />
He took us to the local markets in Indre and Nantes where we were abel to save a lot of food (fruits like melons, peaches, vegetables, bread, etc...) for almost all of the two weeks for all to share at the end of the markets at midday. <br />

As Kosma recovered nicely from her chickenpocks we all were looking forward to see our lovely "Wahlfamilie" from Wuppertal in Germany very soon again since they had decided to spent a part of their summer vacations with us. We had lived together with Chris, Kai & David in Wuppertal for the previous 2 years in their beautiful red house until the beginning of our journey on the 17th of may. Now two months later we would meet again at Gwenvael's in Indre for having a great time together discovering and enjoying the South of Bretagne a little bit...and they would even bring David's best friend, our beloved Lilly, with them...<br />

Traveling with a child is in many aspects different to traveling alone or with other grown ups. Where it is easy as adults to live of what you get and embrace all that is coming, for a child you want to take care of its special needs: time to play, good food, many breaks to move that little body which still needs to thrive and experience a lot that young age.<br />

So what naturally happens is, you feel attracted to other families, loving parents and vivid children, to playgrounds, car-free zones and childfriendly households. You send out that wish to the universe and Kosma, our daughter, adds her smile and voilà: what wonderful places, people and experiences we were to encounter already. So here's our advice to all you families out there who have similar visions, wishes and urges to go and see the world with your children on a very little budget: have faith and trust and just do it! Of course you should wisely prepare your luggage (a post regarding this matter will follow) and be prepared for eventualities like cold nights outside, boring hard days for the child etc. but in the end what you need the most is faith and trust and to always be thankful in your heart.<br />
<br />
Networks like <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.org/" target="_blank">couchsurfing</a> (we can also very much recommend their app) and <a href="http://www.workaway.info/" target="_blank">workaway</a> will help you find isles of rest and households of other families or childfriendly households, even very spontaneously with little planning ahead involved. Unfortunately especially on couchsurfing families still seem to be somewhat rare, which should motivate families even more to use that network for exchange and lovely family trips.<br />
<br />
The real magic happens though when you meet families on the street or ring their bells. Here are some beautiful faces who helped us out and gave us comfort, lifts with their cars, food and courage on our way from Ault to Dieppe on the northern French coastline:<br />

After a two weeks break in Belgium with our friends and helpers in need, Astrid, Jürgen and Jamie, we went on on our journey on the 14th of June. We decided to make a little jump after the long days of toothache and non-walking and Astrid drove us to the impressive main station of Liège so we could take the train to the Belgian coastline, to the last city before the French border called De Panne.<br />

The Belgian train service must be mentioned as very friendly and with fair prices. During our research we were astonished about the many lovely offers we used to have in Germany with the DB as well two decades ago: for example on the weekends you pay only half the price no matter which train and destination you take. For the well known Graspop festival of Belgium they also have special offers and of course in general for the elderly, students etc. If only public transport always would be as customer friendly.<br />
<br />
From the station of De Panne to the beach it was still quite a long march and we used our App of choice <a href="http://www.komoot.de/" target="_blank">komoot</a> again for navigation. This led to our first path where we had to struggle hard with our carrying system, the Swiss <a href="http://www.carrix.ch/" target="_blank">Carrix</a>, our friend and donkey supplement. Beautiful as they were, the paths through the wild dune and sand landscapes were a torture for both our muscles and the wheel of the Carrix. I had to give up after less than two kilometers and Jonathan took over for the last three or four. After this experience we avoided sand beaches and changed komoot to bike routes rather than hiking trails, which fortunately worked fine and eventually we reached Bray-Dunes, where we would spend our first French night in front of a camping place on a little geeen spot.<br />

We definitely want to encourage everyone with our shared experiences here to always follow your heart and fulfill your dreams - no matter how "crazy, unreliable, risky etc" they might seem to others.<br />
<div>
This also includes embracing the obstacles you will find on your way and not giving up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Typical obstacles we encountered on our chosen journey so far are for example tough paths, ticks (after one night in the forest Jonathan had dozens of them), mosquitos, storms and harsh weathers (naturewise but also emotionally). But also a toothache can stop you for a while or other physical needs - especially of the child.It is important then to cultivate your patience and devotion and see the hindrance as a part of your journey rather than an interruption. </div>

Right now we are in Belgium staying with two good friends and waiting for my toothache to pass. One of my wisdom teeth was making trouble and had to be removed this morning - unfortunately with minor complications.</div>

It is yet not clear when we will continue walking but I try still to always continue our path by reminding myself of our vision, by listening to my heart and by calming my fears.</div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr">
Samstag <a href="tel:26">26</a> Mai <a href="tel:2017">2017</a><br />
Heute ist der 9 Tag unserer Wanderschaft und wir sind gestern in Belgien an dem traumhaften kleinen Flüsslein Göhl in Hergenrath bei unserer Freundin Jana angekommen. Sie wohnt hier an einem Naturcampingplatz in einem einfachen aber großzügigen Holzhaus, welches sie sich urgemütlich zusammen mit ihrem Sohn Lionel eingerichtet hat. Dazu gehört folgende Webseite:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<a href="http://www.natur-aachen.de/">www.natur-aachen.de</a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Der Ort errinert an eine Rainbowkommune mit drei schönen großen Tipis, die direkt an der Göhl eine schönen Platz haben, wo die vielen Kinder, die teils zu den Festlichkeit des Wochenendes angereist, teils mit ihren Familien hier campen, freudig bei den sommerlichen Temperaturen das kühle Nass der Göhl quietschend und lachend genießen. Bei den weißen Tipis gibt es eine Art Hauptfeuerstelle, von den vielen die es hier gibt, wo anlässlich dieses wochenendlichen Festes abends gemeinsam gegessen, musiziert, gespielt und getanzt wird. Das ist für uns ein sehr schöner Ort, um eine längere Wanderpause einzurichten.<br />
Geteilte Erkenntnis dieses Blogeintrages soll sein: jeden Tag zu wandern ist nicht nur für uns zu anstrengend, sondern auch für Kosma. Das richtige Maß an Pausentagen, an denen man etwas länger lagert, führt dazu, dass die Wandertage dann sehr schön werden, wir genug Kraft übern Tag haben und auch Kosma es genießen kann. Sie macht dann gerne am Wasser halt und trippelt schonmal den einen oder anderen Kilometer neben uns her. <br />
Wenn man dann an Orten wie diesen ein paar Tage rasten kann, dann können wir das Wandern wirklich genießen und die Muskulatur, die es braucht um unser doch beachtliches Gepäck entspannt zu tragen langsam aufbauen. So lässt sich der Carrix z.B. schon deutlich leichter auch Steilstrecken rauffahren als am ersten Tag und wir sind mit diesem Tragesystem weitestengehend zufrieden, wenn auch das Packen und Zurren noch etwas optimiert werden kann. <br />
In der Deuter Kraxe hat Kosma ebenfalls schon gemütliche stündlein verbringen können wenn man, ausgenommen wenn sie darin schläft, sie nicht zu lange am Stück drinlässt, genug Pausen macht und für Abwechslungen ( z.B. Laufen, Spielen) sorgt. Nun backen wir gerade Minibrötchen mit gerettetem Biomehl für das Samstag Abend fest am Hauptfeuer. Euch Lesern wünschen wir an dieser Stelle ebenfalls alles Gute und bis bald. :-)</div>

<br />
<br />
Und so hatten wir tatsächlich - entgegen unseren Erwartungen, denn erfahrungsgemäß sind die ersten Tage physisch immer die schwersten - einen guten und überraschend leichten Start auf unsere erste große Abenteuerreise als Wanderfamilie. Obgleich, das muss gesagt werden, der Abschied für Jonathan und mich ungewohnt schwer fiel- tatsächlich so schwer wie noch nie! Mit der kleinen Kosma haben die Bande zwischen uns und Wuppertal nochmal einen ganz neuen und sehr zarten Charakter bekommen. Wir hoffen und wünschen uns sehr, dass diese zarten Bande auch über die Distanz weiter wachsen können.<br />
<br />
Jetzt gerade sitzen wir auf einem Spielplatz in Köln im Nippesviertel am 5. Tag unserer Wanderung - unserem ersten Pausentag. Kosma spielt vergnügt im Sand, Jonathan begleitet das Szenario an der Ukulele. Es ist Pfingstmontag, die Sonne scheint. Ich denke mir an solchen Tagen immer, dass es schade ist, dass nicht alle so sind. Hat der Mensch erst einmal Zeit, dann werden seine Städte und Plätze fühlbar belebter und lebendig - und zwar nicht mit jener gehetzten Umtriebigkeit der Werktage, sondern mit entspannter Geselligkeit.<br />
<br />
Ich denke zurück an die ersten Stationen der Wanderung: das Ankommen bei Opa Cornelius nach den ersten ca. 17km Wegesabschnitt, welche quasi unsere erste echte Erfahrung mit dem Carrix, unserem ausgewählten Wandergefährten, waren.<br />
An die Famile Günther hinter Solingen direkt an der Wupper, bei der wir die größte Gastfreundschaft geschenkt bekommen haben.<br />
An unsere ersten Erfahrungen mit der WanderApp komoot und dem einhergehenden zerrissen Gefühl zwischen naturromantischer Abwehr und technokratischer Faszination.<br />
An den Moment, als wir feststellen mussten, dass wir Kuschelpanda Pandi auf dem Weg verloren hatten und an den Moment, als unverhofft plötzlich Opa Cornelius mit Kuschelersatz Hasi in der Westentasche vor uns stand.<br />
An den Altenberger Dom, unsere dritte Raststätte, wo uns die christliche Melancholie und altbekannte Gespräche über Krankenversicherung und Impfen nachdenklich und gleichzeitig dankbar gestimmt haben.<br />

An den Moment, als wir die Muschel des Jakobsweges das erste Mal einige Kilometer vor Altenberg entdeckt haben (und endlich das Handy wegpacken konnten).<br />
An den Moment, als ich mich nach eineinhalb Tagen Beobachtung aus sicherer Distanz endlich selbst an den Carrix wagte und mir ein wenig wie ein vorgespanntes Pferd vorkam - also eigentlich ganz gut. (Ob sich das für Pferde auch so anfühlt, weiß ich allerdings nicht.)<br />
An den Moment, als wir nach dem ersten richtig harten Tag - über 20km Marsch von Altenberg nach Köln/ Nippes bei um die 27 Grad) - endlich endlich bei unserer Freundin Marita ankamen.<br />
Diese Erinnerungen wiegen nichts und sind gleichzeitig das kostbarste Gepäck, was wir von der Reise mitbringen. Zusammen mit Erfahrungen, Erkenntnissen und tausend Inspirationen verschiedenster Menschen und Orte. Eine Erkenntnis, die ich gerne schonmal mit euch teilen möchte,<br />
ist diese: die Zeit vergeht beim Wandern mit Kind ganz anders. Die gemachten Kilometer sind plötzlich weniger wichtig. Dafür setzt man sich entspannt neben das Kind auf die Brücke und bewundert mit ihm die Schönheit des unter einem vorbeifließenden Wassees, wie das Licht darin reflektiert und die Kieselsteinchen tanzen.<br />

Now, as many of you know, Jonathan and me are passionate <i>foodsavers</i>. In these times of exuberance which we live in, to us it just makes a lot of sense to take care of the food which often is wasted, neglected or simply not known. In Germany - thanks to the famous work of people like Raphael Fellmer, Raphael Wintrich and Valentin Thurn - we could participate in www.foodsharing.de or also work with the independent platform www.mundraub.org to act against food waste and in order to find local fruits and nuts and urban gardens to pick fresh organic and self grown vegetables, fruits and herbs of the season.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
On the road we wanted to continue this in our opinion healthy and meaningful way of an environmentally balanced diet: In this blog entry we will share some of our experiences with you about the big question: </div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to get (preferably healthy and vegan) food on the road?</span></b></div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Basically we encountered three different ways:</div>
<div class="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Finding food along the way</b>: with your eyes open for the futility of nature you can detect edible plants, herbs, salads, fruits, roots etc. almost everywhere. What we also encountered a lot were for example corn fields or other fields after the harvest where still a lot of food could be found.</li>
<li><b>Saving food in the cities and villages: </b>asking for food which cannot be sold anymore like bread of the day before or sorted out fruits and vegetables led very often to interesting conversations and some insights in to the various individual ways of the owners and sellers about their ideas of a healthy food industry. </li>
<li><b>Receiving food gifts from wonderful people:</b> preferably in exchange for some work or for a little music or at least after a lovely humane spontaneous encounter we were here in there invited for very delicious food and great gifts by great people.</li>
</ol>
<br />

Viel gibt es zu entdecken im schönen Ulm! Da das Team JoDa gerade schon quasi auf dem Sprung in die Südschweiz ist, halten wir uns kurz und überlassen es euch, euch noch einmal genauer über schöne Ulmer Geschichten und Traditionen wie den Ulmer Spatz, den Ulmer Schneider, die Lichterserenade und den Schwörmontag zu informieren.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Neues in Ulm gab es für beide Teile des Teams zu entdecken; wo Jonathan zuvor erst einmal kurz die barfußbeschuhten Füße ins Städtle setzen durfte, war für Daniela hier fast (!) alles ein alter Hut, schließlich ist Ulm für die ersten 18 Jahre ihres Lebens ihre Heimat gewesen und bleibt es somit also bis heute. Nicht zuletzt, da sie sich hier weiterhin im trauten Kreis ihrer Familie väterlicherseits wieder finden kann:<br />

Zar nicht direkt in Ulm, aber doch immerhin in nächster Nähe am anderen Donau-Ufer in Neu-Ulm gelegen gibt es jetzt das erste vegane Restaurant der Region, die Villa MaJo: www.villamajo.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Unbedingt vorbei gehen, wenn ihr in der Umgebung seid und die Facebook-Seite ansehen. Ebenso zeigten Danielas Papa Josef und seine Renate uns einen veganen Imbiss in Neu-Ulm, wo es lecker Köfte gab! Da mussten wir natürlich viel an Wuppertal, das Stil Bruch und unseren Mustafa denken: www.cigköftem-ulm.de</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mit diesem Szenario noch vor Augen und den Eindrücken im Herzen, durften wir im Bauch des Münsters nach dem Abstieg einem Organisten bei seinem virtuosen Spiel lauschen, das uns beiden vor Augen führte, wozu dieses Instrument in seinem weiten Klangspektrum überhaupt möglich ist. </td></tr>

Den letzten Tag verbrachten wir dann noch damit, via mundraub.org Birnen in der Friedrichsau zu sammeln, zur großen Freude von Daniela gemeinsam mit einem Panzertroll! ;) Dieser Insider wird gelüftet, sobald uns die Polaroid-Aufnahme vorliegt, die von diesem raren Event gemacht wurde.<br />
<br />
Bernhard, Danielas alter Schulkamerad und Doktor der Physik, kam dann auch noch vorbei und berichtete beim Schnippeln von gefühlten 100kg (tatsächlich waren es vermutlich 25) Birnen von den Möglichkeiten und Unmöglichkeiten der Mikro-Biologie und Entropie. Aber da müsst ihr ihn dann für genauere Details fragen. Wir können euch nur berichten, dass das Birnenkompott saftig-süß und lecker geworden ist in seinen sämtlichen mikro- und makrobiologischen Bestandteilen.<br />
<br />
Und jetzt.....uiuiuiuiui! Jetzt steht uns ein ganz besonderes Wagnis bevor: Auf, auf, in die Schweiz und bis bald, ihr Lieben!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>Und man kann mit Begeisterung feststellen, dass sich das Wanderwesen im Schwarzwald auf eine ganz besonders schöne Art und Weise entwickelt, wie hier an diesem "Geographischen Informationsstandort" zu sehen. Hier ist in Bieselsberg bei Bad Liebenzell ein Kraftort in Arbeit, wo Wissenswertes über Entfernungen, Richtungen, Längen- und Breitengrade, sowie über Ozeane, Vulkane, die Kontinente uvm. in Stein gefasst ist. Das lässt das Bewusstsein weit schweifen:<br />

Insgesamt 70,7% der Erdoberfläche ist mit Wasser bedeckt. Das entspricht erstaunlicherweise etwa dem Wasseranteil des menschlichen Körpers. Da sieht man wie ähnlich Mutter Erde ihre Menschenkinder sich selbst gestaltet hat. So habe ich mit Daniela in dem wunderschönen Schwarzwaldfluss Nagold bei Bad Liebenzell gestanden und die liebliche Umspülung der Füße eines wilden Wassers genossen, welches jahrtausendelang bereits seinen Weg in die großen Ozeane findet. Da wurden wir der Kleinfische gewahr, die um unsere Füße schwirrten, aber auch der große Wels war da sowie die phänomenal schnelle Forelle, die ein paar Meter vor uns aus niedriger Nagold etwa einen halben Meter aus der Strömung in die Luft schnellte, um die schwirrende Fliege genau zu erwischen. Da kam der Gedanke auf, wo wir doch heute gerne Sozialnetzwerke wie Facebook nutzen, dass das Wasser eigentlich bereits ein stark verbindendes Medium ist, wie berühmte Schamanen wie Kiesha Crowter es bereits vermittelt haben. Das, was wir mit unseren Sozialnetzwerken jetzt ein paar Jahre ausprobieren, ist im Wasser mit WAVEBLUB scheints schon eine Jahrtausende alter Brauch:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In diesem WAVEBLUB haben wir z.B. das Netzwerk "Welsklong", welches für die Kommunikation unter Welsen aktiv ist. Aber auch Forellsium, Karpfenblase, Hechtsuppe, Delfidoodle oder auch WalCQ und viele andere Waveblubchatrooms und Netzwerke sind rund um den Globus schon immer informiert, über die letzten Entwicklungen sowohl in den größten Ozeanen, Flüssen, und Strömen, als auch in den kleinsten Pfützen im schwäbischen Wäldle. A propos Wäldle. Auf dem Land heißen die Kommunikationsnetzwerke z.B. EARTHROOTS. Alle Wurzeln von allen Pflanzen weltweit sind darin vernetzt und auch da über die letzten Infos auf dem Laufenden. Ein Baum, der unweit der Burg Liebenzell mit dem mysteriösen Namen "Rattenkönig" bezeichnet wird, vermittelt z.B. zwischen EARTHROOTS und dem darin integrierten "NAGERMURMEL" dem Sozialnetzwerk für Mäuse, Ratten, und Nager aller Art, über welches man sich seit einigen Jahren bereits durch Überlieferungen aus diesem Chat wie "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln" informieren kann. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Dort gibt es auch einen Kummerkasten extra für mardergeplagte KFZ-Besitzer oder auch Dachbodenbesitzer mit Mäusespielplatz. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So ins Gespräch vertieft mit den alten Netzwerken der Wasser- und Erdwelten entlang der Nagold, öffnet sich direkt hinter den Lichtwassersäulen des Kurparks Bad Liebenzell das Netzwerk SPACELIGHT. </div>

Nicht nur lichtvoll, sondern wirklich spacig wurde es beim dahinterliegenden Planetenmodell, wo SPACELIGHT-Kommunikationsnutzer den Netzwerkschlüssel WOST kennenlernen können. WOST ist Team JoDas Eselsbrücke für die Erdrotation von West nach Ost, kurz WOST. Daniela und ich, hier beim UR-ANUS stehend waren entzückt! </div>

Weiterhin wurde das Team JoDa hier über unsere unmittelbaren Nachbargalaxien "Andromeda" und "Dreiecksnebel" informiert. Hier hat das Universum wichtige Meditationsinhalte vermittelt, die das Team JoDa bei seinem allmorgendlichen Yoga versucht zu integrieren. Wer also mit uns mitwandert, darf hier gerne seinen Meditationen vor dem Wandern freien Lauf lassen und versuchen WAVEBLUB, EARTHROOTS und SPACELIGHT in sich zu verbinden... </div>

Und hier stehen wir also vor dem Venjoy in Köln. Ganz ehrlich, wenn ihr die Möglichkeit habt, schaut dort auf einen (roh-)veganen Happen vorbei. Die Inhaber Arthur und Anastasia sind wahre Künstler, wie folgende Eindrücke von dem Buffet beweisen...</div>

Und wo haben wir dann also geschlafen? Im wunderschönen Neuland, Deutschlands größtem mobilen Stadtgarten! Im Pavillion fanden wir trockenen Unterschlupf während der doch stürmischen und regnerischen Nacht und wurden am nächsten Morgen von strahlendem Sonnenschein begrüßt. Außerdem wurde uns ein Wunsch ans Universum erfüllt: Noch die Nacht zuvor träumten wir von Bananen und einem leckeren Dätschbananen-Schoko-Frühstück und siehe da - am nächsten Morgen lagen im Foodsharing-Fairteiler auf dem Gelände des Neulands reife, gelbe, schmackhaft-süße Exotenfrüchte für uns bereit. Sogar einen Wasserkocher gab es da für einen lecker Tee. Zum Dank haben wir fleißig die Tomaten im Gewächshaus bewässert und Knoten aus den Wasserschläuchen entfernt. Danke, liebes Neuland!!!<br />

Nebst dem höchst praktikablen Einfärben unserer Fingernägel, sammelten wir hier auf dem wunderschönen mitten im Schwarzwald gelegenen Grundstück von Rahel und Johannes ca. 15 kg Äpfelchen ein. Zahlreich lagen sie unter den vielen schönen Bäumchen auf dem "Freieck" und wurden in rohveganes Apfel-Rosinen-Bananen-Ingwer-Mus, ein Chutney und gekochtes Apfelmus verwandelt :)<br />

Wir schicken euch einen sonnigen Gruß aus dem Venjoy in Köln (<span style="background-color: white; color: #006621; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">www.</span><b style="color: #006621; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">venjoy</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #006621; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">.it/)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Für uns beide ist das der erste Besuch in einem vagenen Restaurant, das den Anspruch hat, </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">mindestens </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">80% seiner Speisekarte auf rohköstlicher Basis anzubieten.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Aber der Reihe nach: Die letzten Tage waren wir noch unterwegs, hauptsächlich auf dem </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Bergischen </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Weg (</span>http://www.bergisches-wanderland.de/de/bergischer-weg/portrait/), einem wunderbar ausgeschilderten und durch Wald, Wiese und Feld führender Wanderweg, den wir erst bis Gruiten verfolgten und später Richtung Bergisch Gladbach. Unsere ersten beiden Ziele auf der Reise waren Freunde in Gruiten - Miriam, Andreas, ihre Tochter Marie und Mandela (liebenswerte Bulldogge) -, wo wir tatsächlich auch zu Fuß ankamen und im zweiten Schritt wollten wir Overath östlich von Köln ansteuern.<br />
<br />
Dorthin hatte uns André Hirschmann eingeladen, ein guter Freund und Mitbegründer von <a href="http://www.2nd-ark.net/">www.2nd-ark.net</a>, einer noch sehr jungen und in den Anfängen steckenden Plattform, die Gemeinschaften jeglicher Art miteinander verbinden wollen, um so ein umfangreiches Sharing&Caring-Netzwerk zu schaffen, und zwar unter dem Namen: The Global Tribe Network (R)evolution - Come together as one. Hier könnt ihr euch das Vernetzungskonzept ansehen, wie die Zusammenführung augenscheinlich gegensätzlicher Pole gelingen kann:<br />

Um rechtzeitig nach Overath zu kommen (bzw. danach noch rechtzeitig in den Schwarzwald zu gelangen, unserer dritten Station), stellten wir uns das erste Mal an die Straße, bemalten ein lustiges Schild und warteten gespannt auf unseren ersten Anhalter. Und hier ist er auch schon! Danke noch einmal an Mark, der uns bis nach Leichlingen gebracht hat :)<br />

Von dort aus wanderten wir dann entspannt weiter, um noch eine Nacht vor unserer Ankunft in Overath draußen im Zelt zu verbringen. Ein Bauer erlaubte uns auf seiner Weide zu zelten. Am nächsten Morgen wanderten wir dann noch ein gutes Stück bis fast nach Altenberg, von wo aus zwei wunderbare Anhalter namens Michael und José uns bis an unser Ziel brachten: Den Healing Space in Weilerhohn zwischen Overath und Rösrath, einem mitten im Wald an einem Bächlein gelegenen Stück Land, wo Eigentümerin und ebenfalls 2nd Ark-Mitbegründerin Jasmin Dué einen Ort zur Besinnung und Selbstentfaltung kreieren möchte.<br />
<br />
Hier hatten wir einen sehr schönen Abend gemeinsam mit <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Hideyo Blackmoon, einer Sängerin aus Japan, Nikos Akrivos, einem griechischen Holistic DJ aus Ibiza (gebürtiger Wuppertaler!), Jasmin, ihrer Tochter, André und Sonja von 2nd Ark und Christoph Zirkeldreher, der sehr bekannt für einen Aktivismus im Bereich Permakultur ist (</span></span></span>http://zdgarten.jimdo.com/permakultur/) und auch hier auf dem Gelände bereits ein Hochbeet mit Mangold, Minze, Gänsefuß, Zucchini und anderen Schleckereien angelegt hat.<br />

Und nun sitzen wir also mit vielen unserer neuen Bekanntschaften im Venjoy, Nikos legt bereits auf, das rohvegane Buffet ist serviert, nette Menschen sind da, Hideyo wird bald singen und das Team JoDa freut sich über so einen schönen Start unserer Reise. Sollte jemand von unseren Freunden aus Köln das hier lesen: Für heute Abend suchen wir noch eine Übernachtungsmöglichkeit in Köln, bevor es morgen dann gen Süden in den Schwarzwald zu Jonathans Schwester und ihrer Familie weiter geht.<br />
