Klimawandel: Sollten wir besser zu Fuß in den Urlaub gehen?
Der Tourismus verursacht etwa neun Prozent des weltweiten CO2-Ausstoßes. Sollte der nächste Urlaub also bloß in die Nachbarstadt führen? Ein zweitägiger Versuch in Willich, NRW.
In Willich, North Rhine-Westphalia, the city's traffic policy is focused on motorized individual transport, according to Wikipedia. The city has five motorway connections and an autobahn interchange. Despite this, the reporter prefers to travel by foot during vacations. Willich, with around 50,000 inhabitants, is not a typical tourist destination.
The reporter plans to spend two days there in late July, despite the fact that the city has never been marketed as a tourist spot. The reporter decides to walk to the city center, which is only eight kilometers away, and explore various sights. This change in travel mode allows the reporter to experience the city differently, as they notice new streets and gain a fresh perspective on familiar areas.
The reporter also takes a break at a "Carmen's Pausenstation" in Münchheide, enjoying sandwiches and reading the "Bild" newspaper. After walking for 20 kilometers, the reporter arrives at the hotel, B&B Hotels, situated in a commercial area. The reporter chooses a small, family-run hotel called "Schlafgut! Hotel-Will.Ich Garni" in the Schiefbahn neighborhood.
The hotel is small, with only eight rooms, and the staff is welcoming. Despite some technical issues with the Wi-Fi, the reporter appreciates the authenticity of the city and the opportunity to explore it on foot.
