Christine Thürmer - "Wandern total" - Die Welt zu Deinen Füßen

In the organizer's words:

Christine Thürmer is the absolute luminary of long-distance hiking trails. Now, after 65,000 kilometers on five continents, the most hiked woman in the world has also found her way to Monheim am Rhein. On her last trails in Asia, she survived earthquakes, typhoons and a life-threatening overdose of kimchi, only to make a "recovery" pilgrimage through European cultural landscapes. From the unforgiving wildernesses of America to the Australian outback, she has learned that it's not just the weather that shapes travel, but also local eating habits, foreign ideals of beauty and even labor laws.

In her new show, the four-time bestselling author shares funny and thought-provoking anecdotes from 40 countries. She compares outdoor cultures from Chile to Taiwan and shows us what we can learn from the wider world. Want some examples? Where can you hike around a damaged nuclear power plant? Which outdoor snack is actually considered dog food in this country and why do some hikers look like bank robbers on the trail?

In addition to unusual tour suggestions, Christine Thürmer answers her audience's questions live. And: she gives all "shits" and couch potatoes a charming psychological kick. We should all dare to be more adventurous! So that the excuses finally stay in the cupboard, she shows step by step how to lose the fear of solo tours and survive alone in the forest at night. No matter whether you are looking for God, yourself or just your ideal weight: This courage-making show proves that happiness is usually just a few hiking steps away.

When Christine Thürmer saw the light of day in 1967, everything screamed management career, but nothing at all screamed hiking boots. At school, she was an absolute zero in sport, but in her professional life she was a high-flyer. It was only a dismissal and a stroke of fate that taught her: Time is more valuable than any share package.

Completely untrained and equipped with the "triple check" of flat feet, knock-knees and excess weight, she simply marched 4,277 kilometers from Mexico to Canada. The result of this "crazy idea"? Over 65,000 kilometers on foot, three crossings of the USA and four Spiegel bestsellers, proving that hiking requires one thing above all else: the courage to simply start walking.
