A very varied tour with a beautiful finish at the Losheim Reservoir 😊🥾

Today the hiking group went to TS Steinhauer!
A very nice path that is very easy to walk in the current heat, no problem even with dogs because there is a lot of water!
Sturdy shoes and good sure-footedness are required for this tour!
NOT SUITABLE FOR STROLLERS!!!
Unfortunately the Brittenbude is no longer open, but only for events!!

Beautiful, not demanding, but still varied hiking trail. Many wayside crosses and former federal sandstone quarries accompany the path. Quiet forest passages on small root paths next to streams line the hiking trail. From me a 👍

We had a very nice tour today.
More demanding than you think - here the path is actually the goal.
The path along the stream is great - the loudest thing here is the splashing 👍
And the great soft forest paths.
For me so far the most beautiful way this week.
👍👍👍🐻🐟🌻☀️😎
