What you'll find in the hills of Germany

Location: Sambach, Germany


In the hills of Germany you can find many things, after all every hill is different. But I've found today that there are some things about the hills that never change no matter what village you are in. Whether is it Frankenstein, Landstuhl, Enkenbach or Sambach you will always find certain things. You will find grass and tress, moss and fallen branches. You find bugs and rodents and a lot of dirt. No matter how many times you've been down a certain trail, you will one day find there is something there you have been missing the past 20 times you've been there. You will find paths well trodden but a very good secret. You will find peace and quite. You will find yourself thinking and enjoying the breeze. You will find many others working and you'll find some hiding. You'll find people doing exactly what you came to do. You'll find walkers and runners, old and young. Mostly, you will find that the best time of your life is spent getting lost in the woods, lost in the potential and lost in your thoughts.



You will find pure beauty you don't take advantage of. You'll make a friend of inanimate objects as crazy as that sounds. The hills become your therapist that helps to clear your mind. They become your gym and your happy place, your confidence and your joy. They enwrap you with comfort and keep a history unread in books. They hold memories of all kinds and record your every move. More often than not, these hills are my dance studio inspiring me and feeding me passion.


These hills are home to many and it is home to me. In this beautiful country there is no reason not to shout it from roof tops that I'm blessed in this way. I was also blessed with the beauty both mountain and desert in Idaho but this is a beauty I will always call home.
