The Germans, as a people, love the outdoors and highly value pristine, undisturbed natural surroundings, and attempt to keep human disturbances to a minimum -- Can anybody shout out loud "cliché" for me?
Just what I thought, when I read this. I'm a 17 years old German and I think that this sentence is completely wrong. As far as I can see, only about 5 percent of all Germans, especially those who are 60 and older, still think like that.
Perhaps someone knows a bit about the television show on comedy central, Gerhard Reinke's: Wanderlust. It was a funny travel show, with a bit of screwball comedy. I'm going to put up a link and start something, but I'll need help. M@$+@ Ju 14:55, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Does this line "A World of Warcraft end-game raiding guild on the US Whisperwind server (located at [3])" really belong here? It sounds like someone plugging their guild. Mathiastck 00:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
It should not be deleted, because that is denying people knowledge of the meaning of the term. I happen to suffer wanderlust, and probably wouldn't have come here unless that were true. it needs cleaning up for sure, but should not be deleted. it is redeemable. -- Paaerduag 13:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
As per Wiki ettiquite, just saying I added that Wanderlust is also a name of a Delays song. -- Jessikins 03:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Seriously, this article needs reform. Unless anyone opposes change, I will make a disambiguation article out of this, instead of having a huge random list of possible meanings. The word as it is described on this page will maintain the article name Wanderlust but the other meanings will be moved to Wanderlust (disambiguation). -- Ludvig 17:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Is that external link right? It’s leading me to a page about cuckoo clocks. S.dedalus 04:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
The link to the Wikipedia article, "Wander" should not be included in this article, unless the "Wander" artice is further developed (or a disambiguation page is created) so as to acquire the meaning that is in relation to what this article is talking about. As of now, the link points to an artice about the telecommunications term "wander" as opposed to the act of wandering. Besides, "wander" more something that one would look for in a dictionary (like wiktionary) than in an encyclopedia.

It should be deleted, the usage and definition of the term just go to the disambig page, since the major part of this page is copied from that disambig page. Mallerd ( talk) 09:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
"It is not a simple desire, it takes whole body and soul in such an unrest sequence of events, first starting with a tension in the muscles, or legs or even the entire body, that takes the one to a need of walking around, not short walking, but very long ones"
First of all, this sentence doesn't even make sense, it's poorly written, and beyond that the mention of "soul" is completely out of place. Why is this the article's opening? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.141.110.185 ( talk) 17:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
„Wanderlust“ is out of use, right. But „Fernweh“ isn't also widely use anymore. IMHO there is no contemporary word in german. „Reiselust“ (desire to travel) and „Reisefieber“ (literal „travel fever") are in use, but they do not describe the same thing as „Wanderlust“. -- Walter Koch ( talk) 10:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
That couple -is not- enjoing their travelling/hiking :) It would be more appropriate under the article 'Homesickness', in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.44.40 ( talk) 07:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I just removed the picture to the right.
This man is perhaps nomadic, as the file description states, but we do not know his motivation for that lifestyle. Wanderlust is an emotion; this is key. Admittedly, this is difficult concept to capture with images.

It's been a long time since I read the relevant works, but it seems to me there was a movement in the early twentieth century (Wandervogel?) of young men, university age, who banded together in clubs and so forth, and who described their hiking adventures as Wanderlust. Given that the term appears to have disappeared from contemporary German, it might be better to re-focus the article on that historical moment (1890s-1910s) rather than, as currently, on the term as expressing some inborn quality or trait. Even in its current form it seems to give far to much credit to the desire to wander as (a) specifically originating in German culture and (b) as being an enduring facet of Germanism. To it seems much more likely that those two ideas originated in the Volkish ideology of the turn of the twentieth century. And of course, that particular ideology, in trying to claim this as an inherent quality of being German, delved back into German history (the wandering apprentices and so forth) in order to bolster the claims. So as it stands, the article is suggestive, but not very well put together. Refocussing as I've suggested, if it can be supported, would seem to be a better choice.
