Christine Thürmer – Wandern Total

In the organizer's words:

Christine Thürmer, the most hiked woman in the world, has discovered after walking over 65,000 kilometers on five continents: People hike everywhere, but everywhere differently. In her new show "Wandern Total", she compares outdoor cultures from Chile to Taiwan with funny and thought-provoking anecdotes from 40 countries and shows what we can also learn from them.

On her trails in Asia, Christine Thürmer survived earthquakes, typhoons and an overdose of kimchi, then made a pilgrimage through the European cultural landscape to recuperate and has battled her way through the wildernesses of America and the Australian outback several times. In the process, the globetrotter learned that not only climate and terrain influence the hiking experience, but also eating habits, beauty ideals and labor laws.

Where can you hike around a damaged nuclear power plant? Which outdoor snack is only available as dog food in this country? The four-time bestselling author surprises viewers with unusual tour suggestions and practical tips and answers their questions live. Above all, she lovingly gives shits and couch potatoes a psychological kick up the backside, because she thinks: We should all dare to be much more adventurous!

So that there are no more excuses, she works out step by step with her audience how you (and especially women) can lose your fear of solo trips and spend the night alone in the forest. No matter whether you are looking for God, yourself or your ideal weight: This courage-making show proves that hiking will always make you happy.

There is nothing to suggest that Christine Thürmer, born in 1967, would one day become the most hiked woman in the world. Although she was top of her class at school, she was an absolute loser at sport. As a result, she first made a stellar career as a manager before realizing after an unexpected layoff and the death of a friend that time - and not money - is the most important resource in life. Completely untrained, she hikes 4,277 kilometers from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail - despite having flat feet, knock-knees and being overweight! And that's just the beginning: since then, she has covered more than 65,000 kilometers on foot, crossed the USA and Europe three times each and written four books about her adventures, which were on the Spiegel bestseller list for months.
