    Hello, Gut Runst, Michael here, aka Easy Hiker. I blog mainly about easy hikes in Germany (being a German myself) but also about easy hikes I've discovered during our holidays, like our very recent one I would certainly like to hook up with you through this group to exchange tips and ideas about easy hiking Obviously, I can not cover ALL the possible areas in the world where one can do an easy hike during their holidays, so any input as in a guest blog would be more than welcome. Don't be strangers!
