Hiking
"Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost."
Erol Ozan
Far away from everything else is this path at Barley Lake in Ireland.
One walks through an absolutely pristine nature and you can enjoy all around unspoiled views on the Caha Mountains.
Here, nothing is developed and it is recommended to carry everything you need, especially some water, with you.
But you get the ultimate feeling of loneliness and pure wilderness.
When it has rained it is recommended to put on waterproof shoes. The path is not paved and now and then also boggy. Some puddles are much deeper than you think.
Gosen - Brandenburg
Country Lane near Gosen, Oder-Spree district, Brandenburg, Germany.
This path was surprisingly easy to cycle and led into the middle of the beautiful nature reserve "Gosener Wiesen".
Only a very small part of the swampy area is accessible.
But also at the edge you can enjoy the nature here to the best of your ability.
If you are calm and attentive, you can observe cranes and otters and other wildlife. Part of the area can also be explored by canoe.
Cheljabinsk District - Russia
It is hard for me to tell if this is a country lane or maybe a country road.
It is also not easy to tell from where it comes and where it goes.
It's just there, just like the surrounding land is just there.
You can drive it for a long time without seeing anything new and yet you are not alone.
Sometimes a car appears out of nowhere and someone asks if you have seen his cows, sometimes a horse comes from the horizon and the rider wants to sell mushrooms to you.
And at some point you will arrive somewhere.
