It was really a nice local recreation area which is very well attended on weekends and when the weather is nice. The further you get out, the quieter it becomes.

May 10, 2025,Wanderung Mammutmarsch in Nürnberg 10.5.2025
Such a beautiful hike in perfect hiking weather. Today was the first time I didn't set out alone, but with a few work colleagues. It was everyone's first time, and it certainly won't be the last.

Today, within 2 weeks, I started the next Mammutmarsch.

This time, Nuremberg was the desired destination.

My hiking buddy @Steffen was there again. Together we rocked the 30km and ran at a steady pace from start to finish. At the 2 refreshment stops, we naturally took a small and a larger break, because for us the whole thing is not …

Hello everyone,

Today the time had finally come: We followed in the footsteps of the great mammoth. Under glorious sunshine and blue skies, we got to know Nuremberg in a special way.

At three different supply stations, we were able to replenish our energy reserves with hot dogs, gummy bears, and bananas.

Today I did the 30km Nuremberg Mammoth March with a work colleague (this was his first Mammoth March).

What can I say? Great route, fantastic weather. I was on the route today with a new Mammoth and a work colleague. Everything went perfectly, and the volunteers were awesome as always 🥰

It's an uplifting feeling when you cross the finish line, even if everything hurts. 🤪
