Comparatively speaking extremely boring. Not many leaves left.
Mt. Hohenstaufen over the roofs
@lyse Wait, does that mean that you live basically ~1km from that mountain? I always thought that’s a long hike of several hours. 😅 No wonder you go there so often.
In any case, nice shot of the moon. 👌~

@movq Not that close. You were tricked by the zoom and different tree lines, that appear to be merged into one continuous hill. ;-) Bee-line is exactly four kilometers. The most direct route possible is 5.1 km long, takes pretty much 50 minutes when I'm in very good shape, don't stop for photos along the way and my mate whips me. He's more trained than I am. But we're walking also quite fast in general and then are exhausted when reaching the summit. Well, I am. It's basically uphill all the time, every now and then a tiny little bit downhill, but mostly going up. If you want to look it up on a map, the Alte Steige and Kaiserbergsteige in the village are bloody steep. I try to take a few photos from these sections next time (going to be very tricky). I'd say a normal person would need about 1:20 to 1:30 hours for that tour.
A few years ago, we clocked mountainbiking vs. hiking. By bicycle (real ones, no fancy electric motors) we weren't any faster than by foot. Just on the way home, of course, the bike won by a large margin. The fastest ride home took only 12 min. But that was totally insane. Just plain stupid. If anybody had come our way, it would have ended really, really badly. So we only did that once.
Depending on the picked route, 1:30 or even 2:00 hours one-way to the top is easily possible at our walking pace. So your guess of a bunch of hours is not that wrong. Just depends on our mood and path choices. :-)
@lyse Ahh, I see. Deceptive zoom. 😏
5km is quite the distance. My walk today was about 3.5km and still took me almost an hour. 😅 I didn’t go very fast, though.
(Reminds me, a GPS tracker would be great. Let’s see what that lovely Google Play Store has … has … has in store for me …)

@movq 3.5 km/h is not too bad if you don't want to reach the destination all sweaty. :-) Some mates are using Osmand.
@lyse OsmAnd, thanks for the hint, I’ll give that a try!

@movq nice writeup. I've been thinking a bit about GPS logging again but had concerns. Also it was nice to use Gopher again 😎
@movq Cool! :-) Yeah, GPX files is all I would need, too. In Kraftwerk I added GPX support. I pulled out a few stats with the pygpx library. The trajectory was rendered on top of an interactive map provided by OpenStreetMap. Getting the OSM stuff to work was quite a challenge, though.
Next time I come across a GPX file, I'll check out GPXSee, never heard of that. When I used OsmAnd myself years ago, I also made use of the offline maps feature. But I'm sure I did not have to pay anything. I thought it was even open source software, could be wrong though. Up until now I didn't even know that there are multiple applications out there with the same name. Hmm.
@rsdoiel My main concern would be uploading GPS data to some cloud service. The big question is: Does my Android phone collect such data in the background and then upload it to Google? I don’t know. It’s annoying that I have to think about this. 🫤 For the moment, I’m just ignoring it. (A dedicated device would not have this problem.) Also, use more Gopher! 😅
@lyse I had to think twice what “Bauchaufzüge” means. :-) Nice visualization. “Strecke 2D” vs. “Strecke 3D” is interesting - didn’t expect it to make that much of a difference for such a short path. 🤔 Also, you might be right, basic navigation probably works with the OSM app. The only thing is, it greets me with “unpaid version, 5 downloads” remaining, so, dunno how long it’ll remain usable.

@movq It's not an elevator. ;-) Granted, not all the stats are useful. I just displayed what was easily accessible by the library. Next time I'll definitely thin out.
