The whole thing has something of a "My dear diary" story about it. "My dear diary, I'm sitting here in the Sauerland and finally crossing an item off my bucket list - call it what you will." Yes, that's about right. I'm sitting here with my cup of coffee, still nice and hot. My buddy has crawled into the tent, I think he needs to catch up on some sleep. Let him do that, we'll have plenty of time to look around tomorrow.
It was drizzling a bit when we pitched the tent, but now the air has that "freshly washed" green smell. I hope it stays clear now, I want to crawl out of my sleeping bag tonight and look at the stars. Stargazing in the Sauerland. I know the region, my boyfriend and I have been here several times hikeWe've usually stayed in a guesthouse or a hiking inn. Camping in the Sauerland - we were doing it for the first time.
It was a bit of a scavenger hunt, the trekking site here. It's close to the hiking trail, but quiet and a little out of the way. When we booked, they gave us the coordinates, which are not yet on the website. Let's see if anyone happens to find us today, or if this wooden platform is a really good hiding place.
So this night is all ours. There's enough space here for two tents, but next time we think we should bring a few more people with us. We can also come by train, Travel tips they have given us. But for now, the two of us work our way from trekking site to trekking site. I quickly go through the route for tomorrow and then it's off to the sleeping bag. I have to set my alarm quickly as I want to sit in front of the tent again tonight. Stargazing in the Sauerland.
