German film historian, mentor, and close friend Lotte Eisner was seriously ill and dying. Herzog was determined to prevent this and believed that an act of walking would keep Eisner from death. He took a jacket, a compass, and a duffel bag of the barest essentials, and wearing a pair of new boots, set off on a three-week pilgrimage from Munich to Paris through the deep chill and snowstorms of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOf Walking in Ice\u003c\/i\u003e is Herzog's beautifully written, much-admired, yet often-overlooked diary account of that journey.
