First Thruhike 2021
“Well, the early bird catches the worm,” thought Franzi, and she decided to start her Thru-Hike of the North-South Trail on March 1, 2021. She became the second Thru-Hiker of the NST, and as a woman, I find that to be a fantastic thing that makes me really proud. 👍
“Hi, my name is Franzi, and I’m 30 years old. I’ve been interested in the topic of Thru-Hiking for some time now. After watching countless videos about the AT, PCT, and CDT, I had planned to hike the PCT but had to abandon that idea due to the pandemic. Luckily, I stumbled upon a brilliant idea right in my own backyard.”
The NST! I am hiking the NST because I want to take on the challenge of a Thru-Hike across an entire country, and because I simply love being in nature. I enjoy the tranquility of hiking and the many wonderful encounters with other hikers along the way.”
Just like me, Franzi is doing a “Flip Flop,” which means she starts the NST in Hamburg and will complete the northern sections later. It’s a wise decision to start early. So good luck on your long journey… and never forget, “no pain, no dirt, no Haldenwanger Eck.”
