Your Path – Your Story

The Magic of Solo Travel

When we travel alone, we give ourselves the gift of time — time to decide freely: What will I do next? Which trail will I take today? Where will I stop for a peaceful break? And in which lake will I treat myself to a refreshing swim? These are freedoms that often take a back seat in everyday life. Traveling alone gives them back to us.

Exploring on your own is also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with yourself, give your thoughts space, and look at life’s big and small questions from a new perspective. And sometimes, along the way, you discover more than just new trails — you find your way back to yourself.

Long-distance hiking path E5 Oberstdorf – Merano

From Munich or Salzburg you need around four hours to get to Merano by car, by train it’s about five hours. I on the other hand am spending a week with Eurohike for the crossing of the Alps E5 from Oberstdorf to Merano, because I’m voluntarily going by foot. Am I out of my mind? 😉

I never realized how liberating it could be to just set off — alone, but never lonely. The combination of solid organization, varied daily stages, and a fixed hotel base gave me the perfect framework to fully immerse myself in hiking, with plenty of freedom but also a reliable plan in the background.
