So, let’s get ready for the third hiking day of the best football club in the world! Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf<\/a>, one of the few football clubs still run by its members in professional football, is inviting everyone to a hike. How could we possibly refuse such an invitation?\r\n\r\nAfter the second hike took us beautifully through the Neandertal to D\u00fcsseldorf-Flingern, the organizers have chosen a loop course this time \u2013 a very good choice, in my opinion. We started at Ristorante Gavi, right next to the Neandertal Museum.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=””]To my surprise, alongside “Shoeless Joe” and “Hot Pan,” B.L., an NST thru-hiker from the Class of 2023, was also there. As usual, the club provided the route beforehand via a GPX track. This year\u2019s route was really well chosen. It mostly followed the Neanderland “Explorer’s Loop \u2013 Evolution Path,” a trail that I, as a local and experienced hiker, am very familiar with. Originally a twenty-kilometer loop, the route was shortened for this hike to around eleven kilometers.\r\nShortly after the halfway point, we were surprised by a few “enn paar P\u00e4ntze” (P\u00e4nz = kids in the Rhineland), who had set up a small stand offering cold drinks, ice cream, and Fortunabr\u00f6tchen verkauften. Eine nette Idee! Ich glaube, ich hatte das erste Fortunabr\u00f6tchen seit meiner Kindheit \u2013 das weckte viele Erinnerungen. Solltet ihr nicht aus dem Gro\u00dfraum D\u00fcsseldorf stammen, kennt ihr das Fortuna rolls<\/a> to the hikers. A nice touch! I think I had my first Fortuna roll since childhood \u2013 it brought back many memories. If you\u2019re not from the D\u00fcsseldorf area, you might know the Fortuna roll as a “Matschbr\u00f6tchen” or “Schokokussbr\u00f6tchen” (chocolate marshmallow sandwich). Back in the day, you could find this treat at almost every bakery or corner shop (B\u00fcdchen) here in D\u00fcsseldorf. After this culinary treat, we continued through a beautiful stretch of landscape, always following the D\u00fcssel river, before returning to the starting point and finishing the hike with a freshly tapped Altbier. Of course, this year once again we received the hiking badge for successfully completing the event.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”12320,12322,12324,12326,12328,12330,12332,12334,12336,12338,12340,12342,12344,12346,12348,12350,12352,12354,12356″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]Conclusion:<\/strong><\/span> Respect and thanks to all the organizers, helpers, and of course to Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf for the smooth organization and a wonderful day. So far, this has been the best hiking event, and I think the idea of the circular route should definitely be kept. Will we be back next year? What a question \u2013 of course![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
