From the small parking lot, I look directly at the sea. Our hike begins and ends here. But we leave the sea behind us in the first section. We walk along part of the same road that we drove to get to the parking lot. We pass the first houses, many of which didn't stand...

It's something between a hike and a walk. Actually, you can't really call it a hike. The route leads over the dunes of Plage de Treompan on the GR34. And since we're not alone and can walk to the starting point from our accommodation, "walk" is probably the better description. Where usually only a few...

Icy wind greets us on the Breton coast. Here, where the waves whisper, we stand on the remote parking lot near Porspoder. Just the two of us. How much I love this togetherness, often even the solitude in such a place. And how beautiful is this solitude, right in front of this sleeping coastal village...

Some events need no explanation; they stand silently for themselves. And there are experiences that feel almost presumptuous to put into words. As if every attempt to describe them would take something essential away. Simply put—it wasn't beautiful. It was adequate, nothing more. An empty shell of what could have been. We were outside, moving...

A moderate wind blows, birds are chirping, and the sky turns red and violet. Dark clouds pass along the horizon, gradually dissolving. The birds' chirping mingles with the rushing of the sea, which lies no more than 200 meters from our accommodation. A breathtakingly beautiful spectacle that touches me deeply. Before we set out, we...

Happiness is a wonderful state, even if it doesn't last long. I don't remember when I was last this happy. But it must have been in Brittany. And it must have been at one of our many walks in this beautiful part of the world. We start from the front door, passing old houses in...

Where the road ends and a gravel path begins, any navigation system is lost. Fortunately, it only goes straight ahead. We are not alone on this wonderful morning, lit by the morning sun. We pass a small group of hikers, then a bay with three cars, until we come to the small weary spot that...

The valleys lie beneath a thick blanket of fog, with peaks jutting out like water lilies floating on a quiet pond. The setting sun bathes the sky in a spectacular display of pink hues. Leaning against the wall of our accommodation, letting my gaze drift through the window, I cannot tear myself away from this...

The trail is not located in a nature park, but in a wooded area. Even the drive to our starting point is pleasant and quiet. We are on the main road, then on a wide country road until we stop at the town hall in the village of Castellfollit del Boix. While we are changing,...
