German's new ultralight hiking trail

I'm sure they'll have their Swiss neighbors speeding their way to hike that trail too, but that's way more scenery than I want when I'm out hiking. sick

"I'll skip..."

Man, the idea of you skipping on that trail is going to be a tough mental image to forget! ("My eyes...My eyes!!") grin

However, if you tell your new clients about this trail, you may end up going with them, all expenses paid, to Germany to guide them along it!

I'll withhold final judgement until I determine whether they're holding a special "Heidi Klum lookalike" day.

Cheers,

As a member of AANR I'm thrilled that a naturist trail is opening up and being promoted. Unfortunately I don't have the funds for a ticket across the pond to hike it. frown

The Germans have been big on nudism since at least the 1920s. It's a hotbed of disrobing.

You don't need to go all the way to germany.. Just go to the Eagle creek trail outside of portland oregon and wait for a strong following breeze...

Oh sure hiking nude on a well maintained trail would be fine but try hiking off trail in the brush with thorns and the like.... you could get your "stuff" torn off. eek Man that would hurt.

False advertising dude. The shape of the logo is considerably easier on the eyes, and in my recollection you didn't even shave your legs... My recollection was more like this:
