Der Ostweg führt aus der Goldstadt Pforzheim über die Höhen östlich und westlich des Nagoldtals. Täler, Höhen und offene Landschaft wechseln sich ab und bringen den Wanderer über Pfalzgrafenweiler, Freudenstadt vorbei am Friedrichsturm und Vogteiturm nach Alpirsbach im Kinzigtal.

From 1880 well into the 20th century, Bangor and Portland Railway steam locomotives plied this corridor, serving nearby quarries. Conrail bought the line in 1976, only to close it five years later. Plainfield township then bought the corridor and built the trail.

This is a trail that goes from Coast to Coast here in Florida 

The Camino Via Francigena is one of Europe’s most historical known medieval pilgrimage routes, stretching from Canterbury, England to Rome, Italy, Vatican City  dating back over 1000 years.  

Thru-hiking this 1512.95 mile route I couldn't  help but feel the constant historical energy flowing around you ! The natural woodlands, forests , lakes, architecture, artwork, communities, cultures and more excite, energise, educate and evolve your very being with every step. 

A classic Cascades scramble with big payoff for relatively little technical skill required. From the Sunrise Mine Trail, cross Vesper Creek instead of heading toward Vesper Lake. A bootpath climbs steeply through heather, cedar, and rocky slopes before breaking onto granite slabs. From here, it’s straightforward off-trail scrambling: mostly low-angle rock, with light hands-on moves and easy routefinding. Stay on the central rib to avoid gullies (left) or exposure (right).
