Hiking Scotland

This autumn, experienced long-distance traveller Nathalie Courtet hiked through Scotland for seven weeks with a backpack and the Wechsel Bella tent. Her conclusion: "I've had many different tents, but I have to be honest, none of them would have been as efficient as the Bella in these bad weather conditions."

My first solo overnighter

I've been traveling by bike for 6 years already but have never once spent the night camping alone. A solo bikepacking adventure in the mountains behind Bishkek was to change that.

The calm side of the storm

"It's pretty stormy here," I tell Nina on the ferry from Kapellskär to Mariehamn. Can we kayak here? Paddling with fully packed kayaks and wind force 6 on the open sea? That is far beyond our abilities, so we wait a few days and change our plan.

Geschichten Erfahren

Irgendwo in Malaysia. Es ist schon dunkel geworden, doch die tropischen Regengüsse wollen einfach nicht zur Ruhe kommen. Seit zwei Wochen regnet es nun schon, zum Glück habe ich in dieser Nacht Unterschlupf in einem verlassenen Haus gefunden. Der Weg zur Haustür ist zugewuchert, die Tür lässt sich aber leicht öffnen.

Greenland Expedition 2015

The climate conference in Paris now lies behind us and we will see if big political and economic changes will occur. The fact of the matter is that dramatic things happen in Greenland right now. The ice masses in the southern part of the biggest island of the Earth melt progressively faster.

Sturmschaden, aber nicht bei uns! 10/28/2014

Zelten in einer Tornadoschneise

Sturmböen zerren am Gestänge. Starkregen, Hagel, scheinbar überhaupt jede Art von Niederschlag dreschen auf das Kuppelzelt ein, nahe Blitzeinschläge, ohrenbetäubender Donnerknall – doch bis hierher ist das ganze Drumherum nur ein Gewitter, wenn auch das Zentrum eines ausgesprochen schweren Sturms.

1000 Kilometer gegen den Wüstenwind

Sand knirschte zwischen meinen Zähnen. Die trockene Wüstenluft hatte meine Lippen aufplatzen lassen. Rötlich gelber Sand wehte wie ein Schleier malerisch über den heißen Asphalt. Ich stemmte meine Fuhre gegen den Passatwind, der mir kräftig von Norden entgegen wehte.

Claudia Lippert - “Lost“ in Peru

I knew that someday I will travel all over South America. But even one week before my departure I wasn´t sure about the kind of tent I should use.
