Rumpelstilzchen Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

On the sculpture path, it is worth walking through the forest with your eyes open. Some characters are quite well hidden.

June 4, 2023,Wasgau Seen Tour
Our beautiful tour begins at the Birkenfeld amusement park.
The tour leads through fairytale forests and romantic paths past several small lakes, which are ideal places for a rest in untouched nature.
What an idyllic rest & beautiful views we were allowed to enjoy.

Today it was finally time, the Kallinche and I did the long planned Ü20 tour, the beautiful Wasgau-Seen tour. And it was so nice, almost alone, this hike was super chilled and relaxed. Lots of lakes and great reflections and Petrus was kind to us. We started at just under 2 degrees and four layers of clothes. With rising temperatures …

After a delicious breakfast à la Herbert, I said goodbye to @Nette 🇺🇦 and @Deejay and headed towards the Dahner Felsenland.

The tour focuses on the element of water. Unfortunately too literally... we spent half the time in the rain. 🌧️

Highlights are actually the beautiful lakes, some with beautiful water lilies, the climb to the Lindelskopf rock massif and the view, as well as the barefoot path that I treated my feet to immediately afterwards.

The title of the tour already says that this round takes us past many bodies of water. What he does not reveal is how idyllic the waters are, how beautifully the water lilies are blooming, that the forest is wonderful and fragrant and that the river landscapes are humming and buzzing. After 15 km we can take a nice break …

I've always wanted to walk the premium hiking trail "Wasgau Lakes Tour" because I've come across its hiking markings on numerous tours (including my Ritterstein hikes) in and around Ludwigswinkel and Fischbach.

Today was the day: the weather wasn't too hot and mostly cloudy: ideal conditions for a longer tour.
