Similar like at the previous monday trips with the norwegian students, we met at 9am in front of Spicheneren. It was again the turn of the internationals to plan and organise the day. A group of five people suceeded to a task.

Before we walked to Jegersberg, the group had presented a short warm up game for two groups on the slackline where we had to answer some questions, after one of the group made his way over the slackline. Following we were divided into five groups. My group, with Marek, Kristian and me had to lead the first section to spot A on the map we received from the supervisors. Like at the rest oft he hike, the five organisers just acted as a supervisor, without intervening when it was not needed.

At spot A we started with the first game of the day in the same groups as the slackline game. Just a short explanation was required because everyone knew the „ carrot „ game. One group had to lay on the ground, lock themselves with their arms to a stabile bunch. The other team then had to pull this bunch apart. In my eyes a good game to reinforce group cohesion because you come close to the others and try to adhere them as long as possible.

Group B lead us to the place where we played the next game. The berlin wall. The teams stood on different sides of a rope and goal of the game was to pull as many people on the own side as possible.

On the way to point C we played the third game which was organised by the lithuanian warrior. The relay challenge was, turning around a stick seven times, run 50 meters and back. With some small rocks on the ground, the dizzy running was very difficult.

Now it was the task of group D and E to lead us tot he highest peak in the area where we should have had our lunch at the bondfire. The path up there was completely iced, so it took us much time to get tot he top. But finally we had sat at the bonfire for an hour before we faced the last challenge of the day. The supervisors hung a bivuak sack at a hight of 3 meters in a tree, which we had to get down as fast as possible without using the tree. We built a pyramide and won the challenge.

Whereas it was already late noon, we stared our hike back to the university over party totally iced paths. Fortunately we all made it without any bad crashs.

This monday trip was undoubtedly the longest and with the most meters in altitude, what allowed us to discover a wider area of Jegersberg. On the iced paths i’ve learned to concentrate on every stept I take to not slip away. Besides it was a good map reading practice, because the supervisors delivered the task to lead the group to the destination to the small groups. I really liked that we had plenty of time to think about the area and other things while we spent long distances just with hiking. That gave me the possibility to find my ease of mind even if there were so many people around.
