Nice, but a lot of asphalt.
Keeps coming across the M 4, almost the same route.

Today I didn't feel like planning a route, and my nose wasn't leading me either. So it made sense to simply follow the M7 trail, especially since I started at the Merowinger-Eck (as I almost always do). This Mettingen hiking loop was just the right length for today.

July 7, 2025,🐕🚶🏼‍♀️Mettinger M7 ... ist meine Nummer 1

Of the seven Mettinger hiking routes, route 7 is the most beautiful for me personally.

Plenty of time for Enno to sniff around and for both of us to relax. 🥰

At km 8.9, we added a small section of the Fahlbachtal valley and modified the route in the final few meters.
