Hi!
and a warm hello I am Christian, chief globetrotter of this site and enthusiastic adventurer, hiker and filmmaker.
For me, hiking is a way of life, a lifelong dream and pure passion. I love to walk new paths and to inspire people with it and I love to share my acquired hiking knowledge with you! Here you can find tips for beginners and professionals on the greatest and most beautiful hiking tours on our grandiose homeland, also called Planet Earth. I want to encourage people to explore the world as a hiker, whether in the countryside, through the forest or in the mountains. Hiking is the most natural form of exercise and also very healthy. Anyone who doesn't hike hasn't seen the world yet, so I can only advise anyone and everyone interested to start hiking immediately. I don't think anywhere else you can switch off so well and leave your everyday problems and worries behind. My favourite long-distance hiking trails are those in Europe and the world, which I'm happy to share with you, of course!
On my blog, I also write about hiking gear, the right training and nature conservation, as well as tips and information about hiking.
Hiking in a minimalist and spiritual way
By only taking the essentials with you, you are forced to focus on the essentials and free yourself from things that could be burdening you. This can also lead to a spiritual cleansing by freeing yourself from negative thoughts and emotions and making space for themmore positive energy.
Minimalist hiking can also help connect with nature and strengthen your relationship with the earth. If you limit yourself to the essentials, you will be forced to use and appreciate resources such as water and food more consciously. This can help expand your awareness of nature and deepen your appreciation for the beauty and wonders of the world around us.
Hiking in a minimalist way also allows you to delve deeper into your own spirituality by having time to look within and engage with your thoughts and feelings. The calm and stillness of nature can help you connect with your own spirituality and create a deeper connection to yourself.
Overall, minimal hiking can be a wonderful spiritual experience that will help you free yourself from unnecessary baggage and focus on what is important. It can help you connect with nature and your own spiritualityto connect and lead you to a deeper understanding of the world around us.
Lifetime dream hiking
The (mountain) hiking enthusiasm has not let go of me since the dream path. She now guided me through das Stubaital, das Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca, den Black Forest, das Rothaargebirge, along the Moselle, through the Siebengebirge, into the rolling hills of the Eifel and through the Schweizer law.
The longest long-distance hiking adventure to date was scheduled for this summer. In May 2017 I clicked on the 2.te Crossing the Alps on foot issued. This time it took me about 1800 kilometers from Vienna to Nice. Here you will find all the details about this venture.
This is how HikingFex was born
I started my outdoor blog HikingFex in October 2014 to share my experiences, tours and other mountain adventures with those around me. Here I try to bring my love for the mountains, nature, hiking and trekking closer to you. I am chronically curious, particularly interested in ultra light outdoor gear and in general any type of outdoor tips. And I want to pass on to you what I've learned in the process.
