Inca Trail Trek

Are you Umbwe enough? Karibu! Yep, it's been said before. The Umbe Route is the toughest route for climbing Kilimanjaro. But is it though? Comparing the different routes for climbing Kilimanjaro, opinions tend to differ. Discussions about which route is more beautiful, which one is toughest, and which one is easiest. If you've come here to read more about the Umbwe Route, you've come to the right place. Poa kichizi kama ndizi kwenye friji! Wait, what? That means "Crazy cool like a banana in the fridge", a saying Rintsje and I got to learn inside out during our turn on Kilimanjaro. You need to be a bit "crazy cool" if you're interested in the Umbwe Route. We've done the Machame Route ourselves, but if we would do it again, I am sure we would meet at the Umbwe Gate. Let’s go!

The Escapardenne: an escape on foot in the Ardennes. The Escapardenne is a hiking trip itself, but is also a combination of two of the most fun and exciting trails in Luxembourg and the Belgian Ardennes: the Lee Trail and the Eislek Trail. Three hikes at once and quite a few height meters? Definitely, and this partially in one of the smallest countries in the European Union. The Escapardenne has the label ‘Leading Quality Trails - Best of Europe’, and that is definitely something. It is the combination of the Lee Trail and the Eislek Trail and when you hike the full trip, you will start in Luxembourg, but you will end in Belgium. You are literally crossing the border. Does this excite you as well? Allez!

Surely everyone has heard of Germany's highest mountain the Zugspitze. At 2,962 meters (9.717 ft), this impressive peak rises far above sea level and few other peaks match the panoramic views of the Zugspitze. Weather permitting, at the top of your Zugspitze hike, you can see not only the Eibsee but also the Feldberg in the Black Forest, the Watzmann and the imposing Grossglockner; Austria's highest mountain. Quickly grab your hiking boots and find your way to Germany's highest point! Auf geht's! The Zugspitze Tour, also called the Zugspitztour by the Germans, is a unique tour with the ultimate goal of climbing and hiking the Zugspitze. The mountain range is equipped with enough cable cars to reach the top in one day, but only a hut-to-hut tour makes the experience a real triumph. In just 3 days, you can climb the Zugspitze while spending the night at cozy mountain huts and crossing the German-Austrian border at over 2,000 meters (6.561 ft) altitude. During the hut tour, enjoy the famous Partnach Gorge, waterfalls and streams in the Rein Valley and challenging steep rock sections. Will we see each other at the top?
