Good luck! :) I agree that the most important part is to finish. You can always improve the time later! :)

Glad you enjoyed the video :) The name of the park is "Waterfall Park". Have fun!

Je vous remercie beaucoup nous y allons demain merci​@@OfftoMarvelousPlaces

Very cool! Glad you enjoyed this little trip back to Oswego :)

Glad you enjoyed it :)

It really is!

Thank you :)

I use Komoot and sometimes AllTrails. It depends on what works better where. On Sao Miguel I used Komoot. :)

That sounds incredible!! 🙂 Fantastic idea as well, thank you 🙂

I loved it! :) Temperatures and weather as a whole were perfect for hiking. I enjoy extremely cold weather, so going there in winter one day would be amazing.

Glad you enjoyed this! :) Research sounds potentially interesting though!

Yes, the night is beautiful but also intimidating. I've done a couple of night hikes now, and I still haven't gotten used to it. Night vision goggles wouldn't be for me; I'd worry about sneaking up on animals and startling them. With lights, they can see me beforehand. :D

Cool! :) Yes, it is so rewarding!

Thanks! 🙂 I was super lucky with the weather that day!

Thank you! :)

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

I am actually curious about the winters... ;) I love winters, so I would love it to go back there in a harsh winter some day. In northern Germany, where I live, there are only mild winters and I really like snow...

@@OfftoMarvelousPlaces If you Google the text, "Oswego NY snow" , you will see links to various articles and videos of Oswego in the winter. As a kid, it was great as we would go sledding down big hills and make cool snow forts. I live in a Philadelphia suburb now, and we only get a few inches of snow. A mere six inches shuts this area down. It takes a few feet in Oswego before there is a real impact as they have a huge number of snow trucks to keep things clear, but as kids we would be happy when they had to shut down the schools. A couple hundred miles south to where I am now and it is a totally different climate. In Oswego, I remember when the snow drifted up so high that they had to shovel out a tunnel to get through the front door of the local newspaper office. I think that was back in '66, but they have had similar winters since. I would spend hours shoveling the driveway and sidewalk. The typical winds from the Canadian northwest travel across the lake and dump the moisture as it hits the land. They call it the "lake effect". That effect extends south to Syracuse where there are some hills for skiing, but the skiing is nothing like in Vermont or the Adirondacks where the higher mountains are although the snowfall a bit less. But that lake effect snowfall makes all of Central NY pretty intense with snowfall, although the cities along the shore, such as Buffalo, Rochester and Oswego are particularly bad. The lakeshore can be awesome in the winter with huge mounds of ice/snow and it looks like the Arctic. It is impressive, and those mounds can be six feet or more high and look like you can walk on them, but are actually unstable and you can break right through to the lake underneath so keep on the high ground if you go back there. Your video here shows you going on walks through a few trails around Oswego. If you really want to experience the wilderness or skiing in NY, though, you really want to go to the High Peaks region in the Adirondacks, such as Lake Placid. The Adirondacks is the largest state park in the USA. Not the Alps, but it is still magical. Don't go backpacking there in the winter unless you are with someone as it is very dangerous. Other times, you need to check when the bugs won't eat you. And anywhere in the Northeast, you now need to have lots of protection from ticks as Lyme Disease is no joke -- and don't forget bear spray in wilderness areas.

It's close to a German city but at night there is nobody there (except hunters sometimes).

It really is! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

I thought so, yes. I saw someone walking the round trail at the bottom and it is probably better than trying to get up to the Caldereta ridge. The views won’t be so different or better compared to the views from Caldera Blanca

Not particularly, although I do like some songs of the Doors. Why do you ask? :)

@@OfftoMarvelousPlaces no actually I am too much obsessed about him and many more musicians .....

Great to know, thank you!! :)

Oh yes, that was great! :)

I guess more will be swallowed up by erosion in the upcoming couple of hundred of years...

Ja, am grünen See waren wir schonmal zusammen :)

Definitely! :) The entire region is a great place to visit :)

Hey, thanks! I don't have a public profile on Komoot yet. I just use it for planning my trails. But I'll look into it :)

Fantastic! Have fun on São Miguel! :) On this trip I used Komoot for navigation.

Very cool to hear, glad you enjoyed the little tour! I was visiting a friend :)

Glad you like them! :)

Hello there! :)

The city is also great when you have access to the immediate areas surrounding the town. So many nature areas, and amazing scenery.

Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat :)

I am not, I am german, but this is very interesting :D

@@OfftoMarvelousPlaces :DDD 100 years ago, one part of Lithuania was Germany. And still many girls has types of your face from that region :) You look very similar to Lithuania girl

I know I have some polish genes, but who knows :D

you're not wrong lol

Seriuosly?! Ok, I will not spoil which one is first or if one of them was only for a diversion. 😅

Only one of them is on my bucket list. I will not tell which haha :D

It is! :)

This is great! :)

Great to hear, glad you like it! :)

Woah, that's so cool!! :)

Habe jetzt erst gemerkt, dass du auch aus Deutschland kommst 😅

Hi! Dann antworte ich auch direkt mal auf deutsch :) Ich habe mir rausgesucht was ich auf der Insel gerne sehen wollte und hatte dann so etwa 10 Regionen die ich dann der Prio nach und dem Wetter nach angegangen bin. Ich habe einfach jeweils irgendeinen Weg geplant. Der Gastgeber meines Hostels hatte mir noch ein paar gute Tipps gegeben welche Gegenden und Wege schöner sind als andere, das war wirklich nett. Hier aber z.B. in Furnas hatte ich eigentlich was ganz anderes geplant, nämlich einen Rundweg um den See. Als ich dann vor Ort den Waterfall Park gefunden hatte, musste der Plan geändert werden ;) Es gab eigentlich auf jeder Tour irgendeine wesentliche Änderung. Daher empfehle ich auch eher einen groben Weg rauszusuchen der einen da hinbringt wo man hin möchte - es kommt eh alles anders ;) Komoot hat ganz gute Anhaltspunkte für interessante Wege in den jeweiligen Regionen geboten. Gute Reise! :)

It's an amazing city to visit and explore! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Glad you enjoyed it! :) I use Komoot, which appeared to be quite good for Sao Miguel. Not sure about the exact bus. I used Google to see when and where the busses left from Ribeirinha to Furnas. They do not go very frequently, so I kept numbers of taxi companies with me as well for backup.

@@OfftoMarvelousPlaces Thank you very much for the valuable infos. I’ll watch all your videos from the Azores to plan my trip, because you did a very good job with detailing trails. Have a nice day❤️🫶🏻💜

This was July :)

Glad you enjoy it :)

You are welcome! This is fantastic to hear :)
