Walking across the Alps – does that sound like a fixed idea to you? Or is it a dream? Let Barbara Messer take you on this journey. In the summer of 2016, she fulfilled her dream of crossing the Alps – hiking approximately 330 kilometers from Lenggries to Belluno in 22 days. Alone and carrying only the essentials in her backpack, she surrendered herself unambiguously to nature. The author is a visionary with a strong intuition. Yet, she remains down-to-earth and is someone who always tests what she offers or demands from others. Time and again, she engages with alternatives to our society of excess, questions the norm, and makes the essential visible. In this inspirational book, you can look over Barbara Messer's shoulder and share in her very personal, inner questions, which are also valuable to others.
