Waldeinsamkeit

German word that means the feeling of being alone in the woods.

Can be described as wonderful, poetic, peaceful, calm, relaxed, at one with the universe, infinite, free, loving, meditative.

Whenever I go camping, I feel waldeinsamkeit. I enjoy the feeling of being engulfed by nature, and stargazing, unlike other people who enjoy sitting inside and staring at their boob-toob all day.
