"By bus, train, bike into adventure: your trip with a grip on the ground" – this year, for the second time, we called on you to send us pictures of your big and small travel adventures. We would like to thank over 120 participants who shared their photos with us.

The winning photos are as colourful as the travel experiences: They travelled by bike from Bochum to Paris, by train to Turkey or simply from home to the mountains. Whether far or near, the pictures speak more than a thousand words and show how you can escape the daily grind on sustainable paths and create lasting memories.

Here we present the winning pictures, which were selected by our expert jury. Click on the pictures to see the comments of the participants.
