Um Bremen umzu gewandert…

Vorbemerkung

Bremen ist zuerst einmal Heimat. Bremen ist keine gewöhnliche Stadt, sondern voll mit Besonderheiten und Eigenheiten. Im Grunde ist es ein großes Dorf, allerdings ein sehr liberales und durch und durch von einer aktiven Stadtgesellschaft geprägt. Das Engagement Bremer Kaufleute ist legend… voir plus

Cette randonnée est une randonnée avec des hauts et des bas. D'abord dans les profondeurs. La première partie du parcours de golf Bremer-Schweiz (oui, nous sommes ici dans l'un des nombreux Schweitzen en Allemagne) jusqu'à Löhnhorst est plutôt hostile aux randonneurs. Il n'y a pratiquement pas de chemins… voir plus

Notre troisième étape UBU est sans aucun doute la section avec les plus forts contrastes. Nous commençons à Ihlpohl, un quartier de Ritterhude. Ihlpohl impressionne par un certain manque de structure. Il semble qu'ici, à la périphérie de la ville (où elle se trouve, bien qu'elle ne fasse pas partie de… voir plus

We'll start with a correction. On Komoot, not least through incorrectly titled highlights (at least until this morning), it is specified that today's hike would lead through the blockland. It doesn't, because blockland is the area on the Bremen side of the Wümme. It is even a separate local office district… voir plus

"In my dreamland

Home sweet dreamland

Always a dreamland

For the two of us,

Together,

We'll stay "



sings Madeleine Peyroux on her wonderful album Dreamland from 1996. This melody went through my head as we walked past a Dreamland, almost at the end of the stage. We don't know if it really is one, but someone… voir plus

We started this tour this morning, 30 minutes before sunrise. It was a wonderful silence, only interrupted by the chirping of birds. Secretly, of course, we had the hope of seeing a perhaps dramatic or at least worth seeing sunrise. After all, that's one of the good reasons to get up early. And what… voir plus

Today we completed the last of the stages to the right of the Weser. Ok, there are still three missing, but when everything is done it will be the last. At some point it all comes together. We started near the Oyter See, which we gave ourselves as a gift, it is a lake that was created by the construction… voir plus

If the word “arch” was ever needed in human history, then at the latest when describing the course of the Weser. At least as far as the transition into the Lower Weser, a short cartographic view proves this, there is arch after arch. The one that is most sung about is of course the one at the Weserstadion… voir plus

The idea of the last stage of not depicting a morning mood and no sky drama has, one has to say, over-fulfilled today. Not only was there no (visible) sunrise, but the sun could not be seen at all. I was able to photograph a small replacement at the end of the stage. Today the point of getting up early… voir plus

We start on a rather gloomy day in Seckenhausen in the municipality of Stuhr, which, like the municipality of Weyhe, is a typical mixture of business and living. Here, too, people commute to work in Bremen. Stuhr tries a lot to improve his image. It probably has a bit to chew on its name, which is why… voir plus

Actually, the smooth connection to the previous stage would have been the campsite at Steller See, but we wanted to save ourselves the lack of variety when passing 264 caravans. Having the courage to take a gap is often a good solution, so we started walking a few 100 m further north on the Steller Heide… voir plus

Today's stage has some special features. We saw attacking crabs, saw a man running across water, more precisely the Weser - and the tour ends with its start. But one after anonther. Let's start with the start, which was also the end. That works, at least in terms of photo technology. The Ochtum Barrage… voir plus

So, jetzt wird es langsam eng. Die UBUs gehen uns aus. Nur noch diese und dann die letzte Etappe – und fertig ist die Rundreise um Bremen. Vielleicht fällt uns ja, weil wir uns nur schwer trennen können, darüber hinaus noch ein kleines Special ein… Schaun mer mal. Heute starteten wir am Ochtum-Sperrwerk… voir plus

Parfois, vous commencez une nouvelle année avec un handicap. Par exemple, contrairement à nos intentions, nous n'avons pas terminé notre projet UBU d'ici fin 2021. Mais certaines circonstances, telles que les célébrations durables de la fin d'une carrière et l'enfoncement constant des clous pour accrocher… voir plus
