"I go now to the wilderness to be a part of it; to accept my place in the world and its place in me; to grow into reality as a tree grows into the rain, to conform to the Earth as a stream conforms to the stones of its bed. To live. To aspire. To be."

(William Ashworth)

The third stage of the Eifelsteig leads from Monschau to Einruhr. The distance on this day's march is 24,3 km and the difficulty is indeed labeled as "difficult" - especially if you add another six kilometers after getting lost in the noon of early January like we did!

This image shows a scenic winter view of a river flowing through a forested valley. The river appears partially frozen, with ice forming along its edges and in slower-moving sections. The surrounding trees, which are bare of leaves suggesting it is winter, are lightly dusted with snow, adding to the wintry atmosphere of the scene. The landscape slopes upward on both sides away from the river, with trees covering the hills. The lighting suggests it might be early morning or late afternoon, giving the snow and ice a slightly golden hue from the low angle of the sun.

This week our plan of walking three consecutive stages of the Eifelsteig was turned into reality and we started No. 4 which leads from Einruhr to Gemünd near Euskirchen, Germany. This reflecting picture was shot in the first third of the trip before reaching the #Urfttalsperre and is a great proof for reflections, nature and an early morning aura!

The image shows a serene lake surrounded by forest-covered hills. The lake reflects the sky and the surrounding trees, creating a calm and mirror-like water surface. A clear blue sky is visible with few clouds, suggesting a bright sunny day. The forefront is framed by branches and leaves from nearby trees, adding a natural border to the picturesque landscape. The scene is peaceful and provides a perfect example of natural beauty.

Reaching the reservoir dam at the #Urfttalsperre, this one underlines the impression of a sunny, cloudless and astonishing morning aura while you can see how the nature (here: water) is tamed - at least for the moment!

This image shows a scenic view from a dam. The walkway in the image is fenced and leads towards a structure, possibly a control tower or gateway, at the end of the dam. The surrounding area is lush with forested hills, and the reservoir created by the dam is visible on the right side of the image, reflecting the clear sky. The day is sunny and the lighting suggests it might be morning or late afternoon. This setting is likely used both for its functional purpose in water management and as a picturesque spot for visitors to enjoy the view.

After having had the probably most-cruel conditions with a cloudless and sunny sky with 29° C the last day, the next stage of the Eifelsteig from Schleiden to Gemünd started a little less heavy. This one shows some early morning-reflections once again!

This image depicts a scenic riverside view featuring a mix of commercial and residential buildings. The central structure is labeled as "Hotel-Restaurant Rheinblick," suggesting it's a hotel with a restaurant that probably offers views of the river. The environment is peaceful with lush greenery in the background, including trees and hillside homes that add to the charming setting. There's a calm river in the foreground that beautifully reflects the buildings and the sky, enhancing the serene and picturesque quality of the scene. The architecture and the layout indicate a European setting, possibly in a small town known for its hospitality and beautiful landscapes.

Enter, the Dreimühlen waterfall near Nohn! It took nature quite a long time to create the waterfall and it is still doing so. Calcium is deposited here day by day, persistently creating wonderful formations - protruding an additional ten centimetres into the valley each year. You do the same as nature does and take your time here. Close your eyes and listen to the melodies of the enduring waters - enjoying a (possibly) overflowing stream!

Just the end of a tunnel - or a new crossroad behind it? The eighth stage of the Eifelsteig runs from Mirbach to Hillesheim, the crime novel capital of the Eifel and this August we managed to hike the seventh and eighth stage - still seven to go until the city of Trier!

So, with moving to another domain name and still lacking account migration in #Pixelfed, I have to start over. After 472 posts on my old instance, this one now moves to a #Docker-ized approach, starting from the scratch - and despite moving posts wasn't on the schedule, even migrating followers simply went tits up.

I loved the platform, I love the #Fediverse but each new feature on Pixelfed kept being a complete surprise and, this time, I drawed a conclusion from this. Until then, going with Pixelfed was a great trip but also a crossroad, reminding me to stay on solid ground instead of trying each new feature as one of the first people out there... The result: I finally embrace #Vernissage and focus more on pics and stability instead of more and more unstable features.
