April 10, 2023,Vitaltour "Um die Wüstung"

Today we went on the 17th of the 18 vitality tours. We somehow always postponed it because the 15 km long tour wasn't supposed to be particularly exciting and we already knew the last few kilometers from the Schlossweg vitality tour. The certified tour got 54 experience points, not that much - but I would actually deduct a few more. …

Today we ran the last VITALTour. First the official description of the tour:
From the "Bockenauer Schweiz" car park, after a short distance we hike along the Ellerbach over a gradual ascent to the ridge of the "Bockenauer Wald". On a path through the high forest we experience an impressive and individual route through the middle of the wooded ridge. …

December 30, 2023,Vitaltour "um die Wüstung"

At the end of the year, @Bruni L. and I hiked the vital tour "around the desert". The tour mainly leads along the edges of forests and open land, which means you always have beautiful panoramic views. We had the best weather for these great views, but it was very muddy 🫣

December 30, 2023,VT Rund um die Wüstung

For our last hike together in 2023, Katja and I chose the VT around the desert.
Basically it is a beautiful route with great views.
However, due to the rain, the route was incredibly wet and muddy.
