Although I have gathered a lot of knowledge on this site, I would like to present some excellent sources for further information here. This includes blogs, forums and other portals.
Ultraleicht Trekking Forum
The Ultraleicht Trekking Forum, kurz ULTF, is the go-to place of the German UL trekking scene. Here, discussions, planning and gear modifications take place. If you have questions about UL, this is the right place to go!
Ultralight and Comfortable
Ultralight and Comfortable is the blog of author Kenneth Shaw. The English-language blog revolves around the topics of minimalism, photography and ultralight trekking. Strictly speaking, it’s more lightweight trekking. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how luxuriously you can go on a trip thanks to ultralight gear and still by far not reach the pack weights of classic trekking.
Gygago
Gygago is the blog of Stromfahrer from the ULTF. The focus of this blog is on modifying and optimizing one’s own gear items. The modified gear typically impresses with easier handling or saved weight. Usually both points are even achieved. The blog is thus clearly aimed at tinkerers and surprises me again and again with its optimizations!
Wanderreitkarte
The Wanderreitkarte is a website for planning trips based on OpenStreetMap maps. Not only can routes be planned, but the respective elevation gains can also be displayed. With the Wanderreitkarte, trips can be planned on the PC without needing to have software like Garmin Basecamp or similar installed on the PC.
