Winter is for journaling!

With its 411 pages, this expanded version of the LEUCHTTURM1917 classic lays the groundwork for longer and more intensive use, far exceeding what conventional notebooks can offer.

Rather than filling multiple notebooks throughout the year, the notebook 411 accompanies its users on a continuous journey – whether for creative projects, long-term planning, or personal reflections. It not only helps maintain an overview but also creates space for sustainable development, allowing ideas and plans to flourish.
