🇩🇪 Stuttgart Hiking Adventure | A Cautionary Tale 🥵🥾

"NEVER. AGAIN. (until autumn at least)" In my infinite wisdom, I chose to: ☀️ Hike 10K in 30°C midday heat ⏰ 3.5 hours total (including 2 snack breaks) 🔥 2.5 hours of actual hiking suffering The route itself (see map) was actually great: 🌳 Mixed urban/forest trails on Komoot's popular path 🏙️ Several scenic viewpoints overlooking Stuttgart 🚶 Well-marked and safe - just NOT for summer afternoons! Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Stuttgart hiking = autumn/spring activity ONLY 2️⃣ Morning starts = survival strategy 3️⃣ My water bottle is now my best friend PS: The vineyard views almost (almost!) made up for the heatstroke. #HikingGermany #StuttgartHikes #BadDecisions #TrailFail #HumorHiking #BlackForest #WineCountryWanderer #SunburnedAndSorry #LearnFromMyMistakes 🌞💦🤦‍♂️
