This walk was a few years ago and was an interesting experience. My car had to go to the repair shop, the distance by car on the country road about 6 minutes. Unfortunately, no one had time to pick me up there, so I looked at the route in google maps and found that you could walk home from the repair shop across the fields and the forest. According to Google on foot 47 minutes, a snap! So I packed up the dog, dropped off the car at the workshop and we went for the short walk.
I had my cell phone as a navigator, what could go wrong?
Sorry for the partially blurred photos, but I wanted to document most of the way here:
Leaving civilization and diving into the forest
Everything went great until we reached this field.
You see this tree behind my dog in the middle of the photo?
Yes? This would have been the right way, and coming back to this place one hour later, I realized this.
But first somehow I took the way a little bit right from that tree...
The wrong way was beautiful. real high trees and than a very nice (and long) way. The direction wasnt so wrong, thats why I didnt worry because the phones GPS signal fell out, I was so sure, and we walked and walked.....
Somewhere I finally realized, it had no sense to walk in an unknown direction, without a card or plan and so we turned around back to the field.......
... to finally find the right overgrown way in the brushwood of this tree.
And SURPRISE! This way didnt lead into the high woods ;-)
First signs of civilization...
And yea!!! After 2 hours and 15 minutes we finally reached our home ;-) Remember, google was talking about 47 minutes....

Einmal Wald Irrweg und Retour
Dieser Spaziergang ist schon ein paar Jahre her und war eine interessante Erfahrung. Mein Auto musste in die Werkstatt, mit dem Auto auf der Landstrasse eine Strecke von ca 6 Minuten. Leider hatte niemand Zeit mich dort abzuholen, also habe ich mir die Strecke in Google angesehen und festgestellt, dass man von der Werkstatt quer feldein durch den Wald bis nach Hause laufen konnte. Laut Google zu Fuß 47 Minuten, ein Klacks! Also habe ich den Hund eingepackt, das Auto in der Werkstatt abgegeben und mich auf den Weg gemacht.
Ich hatte ja mein Handy als Navi dabei, was sollte schon schief gehen?
Sorry für die teilweisen unscharfen Fotos, aber ich wollte doch gerne den gesamten hier Weg dokumentieren.
Am Ende dauerte die Reise 2 Stunden und 15 Minuten. Aber es ist auch eine schöne Erinnerung an ein kleines Abenteuer, das ich mit meiner Hündin erleben durfte.
Although the trip took much longer als expected, it is also a very nice reminder of a little adventure that I was allowed to experience with my dog.
Oh, and half an hour after we went back home, the car was ready! LOL, but this had time to wait until in the evening somewone could bring me there to pick it up.
As always I hope you enjoyed my little journey for the #wednesdaywalk challenge by @tattoodjay :-) Yours, B.
