During the winter semester 1996/1997 Kurt Mehlhorn gave a lecture series on algorithms for very large data sets. Towards the end he covered graph traversal problems like finding shortest paths on sparse graphs in external-memory. Kurt concluded the topic stating that there may not be much hope to solve these basic problems I/O-efficiently. The author, just about to finish his master's studies those days, took this as a challenge. The following paper reviews some detours, dead-ends, and happy ends of the author's still ongoing research on external-memory graph traversal. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
