🇩🇪 GERMAN ORIGINAL VERSION: https://youtu.be/_cPU1B-pIxg

10 Years Ago, I Hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. This Journey Changed My Life. Join Me as I Revisit the Trail!

In the eighth episode of my video podcast, we finally head to the High Sierras! And there are a few highlights in store: Mt. Whitney, Forester Pass and the most beautiful side trip of the entire trip.

What remains of the trail when ten years have passed?
I share memories, thoughts, impressions – and the next week on one of the world’s most legendary long-distance hiking trails.
