Company Hiking Day I Of Rain Clouds and Good Spirits
From Steigerwald Stadium to Egapark Erfurt – 10 km of pure positive energy and team spirit!
16 colleagues from various departments, from production to administration, set out yesterday to explore the Steigerwald. The idea of tackling this 10 km route together as a team motivated us all. Events like this are not only a welcome change of scenery but also a valuable opportunity to strengthen our sense of unity. Equipped with backpacks, sturdy shoes, and plenty of good spirits, we set off on our journey through the Steigerwald together.
A Day Full of Team Spirit and Fun
The journey began with a challenging ascent through Tannenwäldchen. This first stretch of our hike put us to the test right away, and we were glad that everyone came well-prepared—with slip-resistant hiking shoes and weatherproof jackets. The path demanded a lot from us, and on the slippery, steep sections, mutual support was essential. Despite the effort, the atmosphere was fantastic: jokes and laughter carried us through the toughest parts, and everyone was excited to overcome the challenge together as a team.
After the climb, we reached the Waldhaus, where a small refreshment stop awaited us. There, we found drinks and snacks—just what we needed after the challenging start. Refreshed, we continued our hike along picturesque trails, passing by the Fuchsfarm. On the pasture, horses curiously watched the activity of the hikers. The paths became gentler, allowing for relaxed conversations. Jana Falk commented:
"It was fun getting to know the guys from the frame production in person. Now I can put a face to the number on the paper."
Gradually, our path led us out of the Steigerwald and along the Gera River. The calm atmosphere of the river and the gentle sound of the flowing water gave the final stretch of our hike a peaceful feeling. The last few kilometers to the Egapark were almost effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment.
The company hiking day was a great success. The weather held up, colleagues had the chance to connect across departments, and we shared plenty of laughter. I'm already looking forward to the next hiking day and will make sure this event grows into a small tradition at SEALABLE.

More than just a hike:
The value of our shared experiences
This hiking day was more than just a 10 km route. It was a journey where we got to experience each other as a team in a completely different way. The mix of effort and relaxation, challenges, and shared joy created a special experience that brought us even closer together. Events like these not only strengthen our team spirit but also boost our motivation in everyday work life.
