I was in Muggendorf last year in spring and we went mostly the same trails as you. Wonderful, exciting, but partly very challenging! Liebe Grüße aus Mittelfranken!
Great achievement! Congratulations!. A picture of the badge/pin would have been nice. The area of Fränkische Schweiz is absolutely lovely. I've been there many times since I live nearby south of it. Nijmegen is really famous. I heard of that event 30 years ago, when I was in german navy. The march will be in 3 weeks or so. I'm curious about your impressions from that event. 😀
Thanks. I am still waiting to get my Edelweiss certificate and badge in the mail. I plan on filming the Nijmegan march to show what it is like. Thanks for watching!
We will be due to PCS next summer. The location options will come available this fall. With my job I can be stationed anywhere. I extended for an extra year to make it 4. We absolutely love Germany. I would love to get stationed in Europe again someday.
First of all, congratulations on passing your hiking test. Well done! I was a bit surprised about the Edelweiss badge - it is the best-known symbol of the Alps instead of Franconian Switzerland. By the way, did you know that edelweiss growing in the wild is very rare and difficult to find. Therefore it's a protected plant and picking a wild edelweiss if caught leads to quite severe fines.
Thanks for watching! I had read that about the edelweiss flower. I have never seen one in the wild but it would be pretty neat to see one in person. The Edelweiss march can take place in any location as long as it meets the distance and elevation requirements. I would love to actually do the march in the Alps.
Did this when I was in 2CR back in 2019, awesome experience with some guys from my platoon!
Thanks for watching! Looking forward to doing it again this spring!

Thank you! I loved the area and I can't wait to go back and spend more time there with my family. Thanks for watching!

Great Video. Beautiful scenery. 45lbs. Wow. A lot of weight. Respect 👍🏻
Thank you! I am looking forward to doing the Nijmegan march next and documenting that experience. Thanks for watching!
Nice march👍 isn’t it about time for a PCS? Any idea where you will be next? In the 80s I kept extending my Germany tour 👍

Pretty cool. I was at Bamberg. K-Town. Frankfurt. Pirmesams. Fischbach bie Dahn. Best time of my life. 🇺🇸🇺🇸@@trailblazinpeppers
Wow what a career! These past 3 years have been the best years of our life and we have made so many memories!
