A few years ago in spring, a restless four year old, Sebi, needed something to do.  So his dad, Wolfgang, along with his friend Dennis went hiking on the hill behind the house.  Sebi was intrigued with all that nature had to offer.  They spent hours searching for tadpoles, frogs, snakes, bugs and other creek creatures. The next weekend they went hiking again and convinced me to come along.  I reluctantly went and ended up finding the the peacefulness and beauty of nature an excellent way to relax.
 Sebi's excitement for nature made it all worthwhile. Since that time, all four of us have set out for the woods many times. Along the way, we have met interesting people and discovered new towns. We had no idea when we started this adventure that there were so many beautiful places in our region to like.
 We put together TheHikingFamily.com to inspire people to get out and connect with nature. This site is a collection of hikes and places we think are worth checking out.  It's a great way to spend time with friends. Plus, it's an easy way to get some exercise! We hope it give you the information and inspiration to get out and go take a hike! 

See you in the woods,
