Specials - Tobias Schlegl - "Leichtes Herz und schwere Beine"

Tobias Schlegl walks the Camino de Santiago - together with his 73-year-old mother. Not a hiker by nature, he takes on the journey to fulfil a long-held wish of hers. Beyond her role as his mother, he realises he barely knows her. On the Camino, he finally asks the questions that have been on his mind for years, and discovers her in a whole new light. Schlegl talks about a renewed sense of closeness, working through grief - and nights in noisy dormitories sharing a blanket.

This book makes the case for spending time with your parents while you still can, before age and frailty take over. Schlegl's experience proves it: a shared adventure is worth it. Absolutely.
