Month: November 2018

Ägerital Panoramaweg

13 November 2018
13.7 km, 320m ascent, 2h:50m
This was my first hike in over a month, so I was glad that it was close to home and that it was relatively easy (compared to say, the Stanserhorn). I walked to and from the meeting point for the hike, which added another 2.6 km of walking to my day, although I must admit that at the end I half-regretted my decision not to drive.

There was not a lot of ascending, but there was more than enough to make me sweat. The day was gray and chilly, around 9°C, but I was soon down to shorts and a t-shirt regardless. It was a pretty hike despite the gray skies: farm fields then up the hill and along part of the Panorama trail with views of the lake before descending to the lake and heading back along the shore.

I think this was the longest hike we’ve done thus far (even before adding in the extra walking to/from the start point). My legs were definitely tired and my feet were sore by the end of it.

Route map from my watch:

My hiking group took two weeks off in October for Fall break, but since the hikes resumed I have missed two weeks. I missed the first hike because I was busy with work coming back after vacation (and to be honest, I was not getting enough sleep and was just too tired), and I missed the second hike because I needed to be home to let a serviceperson into our apartment.

Now it’s been a month since the last time I hiked, and I’m feeling out of shape again. But on the bright side, I went on this morning’s hike, so yay! (More on that in a separate post…)
