Waldeinsamkeit (Almanca) : Ormanda yalnız olmanın doğayla iç içe bulunmanın verdiği huzurlu his. 🪵🌲

I was wandering through the forest today.

Do you know the feeling you get, when you stand in the middle of a forest, when you close your eyes, hear the quiet noises and smell the wood? There is a word in german: Waldeinsamkeit.

It gives me strength and peace everytime stress hands over.

Word of the week 2: Waldeinsamkeit (German)

[ˈvaltʔaɪ̯nzaːmkaɪ̯t]

Translation: The feeling of being alone and at peace in the woods (literally: forest loneliness)

The language: German is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch and spoken in Germany by 80 600 000 people and 133 250 000 people worldwide. Or is it? That is true for Standard German, which is part of the Continental West Germanic dialect continuum stretching from the Netherlands to Austria, and including High, Middle and Low German dialects as well as Dutch. Standard German is a High German variety (High German refers to dialects and languages in southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Parts of the continuum aren’t mutually intelligible, but sinch Standard German has been the writing norm for centuries and used in education, media and administration, people can understand each other anyway since some regional differences have mellowed in the last generations, although some Low German dialects in the north are closer to Dutch than High German dialects in southern Germany.

Why waldeinsamkeit? When you’re in the woods alone it feels so peaceful and beautiful, and English doesn’t really have a word to describe that, so I love this word

Waldeinsamkeit, Almanca bir kelime. Kendini doğada kaybedenlerin hallerini nasıl anlatacaklarını bilemedikleri için bu kelimeyi kullanırlarmış. Doğayla baş başa kalma..

The McKenzie is a wild and scenic river that originates at Clear Lake in the central Cascade Range and flows into the Willamette River. Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls are located just downstream from Clear Lake and we hiked the Waterfalls Loop Trail (part of the McKenzie River Recreation Trail). These two falls are the result of two thick flows of lava that dammed Clear Lake just 3,000 years ago (an eye-blink in geologic time).  The results are two breathtaking waterfalls —especially now with snowmelt and rainfall.  Sahalie (or "Heaven") and Koosah (or "Sky") are Chinook Jargon words. The Kalapuya, Molalla, Sahaptain and Chinook peoples traveled and traded here.
