While Reinhold Messner is still looking for the “Yeti” - I discovered what he was looking for!!! Many years ago I heard some incredible stories about creatures - plying their dreadful trade on our planet. The newspapers call them „Big Foot“ or „Yeti“. So I was thinking - I become a TV-Star if I would be able to capture to take photographs of a “Yeti”. My budget was smaller than the one of Reinhold Messner. That’s why I couldn’t search in the Himalayas. But why should it not be possible to discover such creatures in my home country, Germany? In school I learned - You have the biggest chance of survival if you know how to adapt to the environment. My hypothesis: Because of the densely populated Central Europe the creatures must be very small. Since 1973 I roved the local forests - never tired of searching for the “Little Foot”. Unbelievable - but it is the truth - in the year 2002 at the twenty ninth of July my dogged hard work of research was rewarded. In the town of Oberkleen (in the Forest “Taunus”) - first of all humans - I saw the “Little Foot”! I selected only a few pictures for this presentation. There is also a cd-rom available. You can order that on this Homepage. On this cd are more pictures and animations. You can listen to the dialogs of the members of the “Little Foot-population” (German and for pc-windows only). The pictures on this homepage are showing you some of the rituals of the “Little Foot”.
