Posted on June 27, 2021 by Tomas

I’ve covered two of my June hikes earlier. This time, I’ll share a couple words and photos about the rest. Three of the four (though the first was still late may) had two things in common: photos of flowers and a rain shower at the end.

Hiking: two days with sandstone

Posted on June 6, 2021 by Tomas

I have taken a disgustingly smart approach to taking my main vacation: June, before the school holidays, when the hills aren’t as crowded. 2021 is still a bit unpredictable, so I was changing my plans a lot during April and May…

A return outdoors

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Tomas

Hiking: 2021’s head start

Posted on January 17, 2021 by Tomas

Hiking: Summer’s end

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Tomas

You might’ve noticed a lack of hiking-realted posts through the summer, and that had a solid reason, but I managed to get back outdoors by the end of August.

A walk in the moonlight

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Tomas

I’ve considered doing many strange things, not only when it comes to hiking. A night hike wasn’t really among them. How this spontaneous idea came to be is a story for itself, but there are some other ‘lessons’ I’ve learned from this unexpected experience.
