As a passionate hiker, he soon wrote the first hiking books from the region. Books with regional short stories and local tips followed.

With the dissemination of his regional lexicon Hersbruck 1000 terms , the term “geln” instead of “googling” has been consolidated in Hersbruck and the surrounding area.
