It was a challenge. A though challenge, even after having trained before - 42 km by foot, wandering through the night and simulating a jetlag afterwards: Fighting your inner self is always a battle but going over the finishing line at 05:15 am on a Sunday morning was a divine experience that must be repeated!

Thanks to the team of the Mammutmarsch for organizing this great and professional event that helped me to learn some new aspects of myself and taught me that even if the body gets tired, the will keeps you going. Always!

I was never THAT homegrown like I should but you simply can’t deny where you are coming from. After moving away from this area while parts of my family still reside there, coming back is always like coming back to the area that shaped you. The people here wear one's heart on one's sleeve and even if this area has changed so much from the 80’s, the special flair is always present.

German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth created this place out of zinc and steel left over from local mining operations and its main purpose is to exist as an unusual venue to view the gorgeous German countryside around it.

While a little disappointing that physics don’t allow for passage around the loop, you can still work off that amusement park lunch at the speed of a turtle on a structure that represents the speed of a tiger.

With 249 steps making up the walkway and LED lights so that the climb can be appreciated after dark, this twisted metal track offers a great view during day or night.

Rooftops over Duisburg - not that best scenery, but coming from the German Ruhrgebiet, the area and all its flair is just something special that gives me a cozy home-feeling...
