Willkommen im Elfenland – Expeditionstour Polarkreis 2024
23.08.2024Als die ersten Bilder dieser lange geplanten, von Widrigkeiten im Vorfeld geschüttelten und am Ende wohl magischen Tour in den LWA Messenger, kamen dachten Cora und ich vermutlich dasselbe: „Wow, die waren in Elfen-Land unterwegs“. Ich selbst bin gerade durch das sonnige Trondheim geschlendert, kurz nach Ende meiner Tour, als von einigen Breitengraden weiter nördlich die schöne Meldung kam, dass die Gruppe safe zurück ist von dieser Pilot-Unternehmung. Willi hat einige seiner Momente festgehalten und die Bilder sprechen für sich, soweit sie das können. Nie kann man die ganze Magie solcher Orte einfangen. Aber schaut selbst. – Sebastian

Almost Alaska - Expedition Canada 2023
On glacier rivers through bear country 5 years and two months after Jannis and Peter had this idea, I look at the Donjek Glacier for the first time in my life, see the furrows in the ice, including broken off pieces of ice that fall into the gray...
Getting started in whitewater with LWA
Can I do that? How can I do that? And preferably where? It's clear: not everyone wants to learn whitewater paddling and packrafting is a fascinating outdoor sport even without strong currents, waves, eddies and the typical roar of alpine rivers. We know that.

Soča 2023 - Once different, beautiful as always
