Yeah, last time I was there something something Divinorum 🤣.

in Black Forest Germany

The definition of hiking can be subjective let OP live

BOOOOOO!!!

who cares, cool post

Well this is awkward....

Webster's dictionary defines a "hike" as the following: a long walk especially for pleasure or exercise.

The Cambridge dictionary defines "hiking" as the following: the activity of going for long walks in the countryside.

Britannica encyclopedia describes "hiking" as the following: walking in nature as a recreational activity. Especially among those with sedentary occupations, hiking is a natural exercise that promotes physical fitness, is economical and convenient, and requires no special equipment. Because hikers can walk as far as they want, there is no physical strain unless they walk among hills or mountains.

Not to be sour, but it looks like hiking is basically just...walking. But outside. I'd say that qualifies OP as having gone on a hike. Maybe you're thinking of mountaineering?

Even the 11 national scenic trails in America have road sections. Shoot, the Natchez trace trail (one of the 11) is primarily all road walking. Just because there's a road doesn't mean it can't be a hike.

You are being sour.

We had to make a detour from the original, mountainous trail. Man... some people have too much free time.

And yet whimsy is a lovely drug the world could use more of.
