Picnic area with wooden benches and historical stone marker

Highlight • Rest Area

Don't forget a picnic. Because in the forest, a bank invites you to take a break. 🍎🥪🥤

Today the two Wispertrails Ranseler Höhenrausch and Wollschieder Grenzweg were on the hiking program. Together they make a wonderful hikeable tour, apart from today's temperatures. Everyone had a lot of fun again, even if at the end of the hike we were more than happy to have reached the cars again. Here is the tour as a Relive video: relive.cc/view/vwq1grx9VLO

No fresh rolls, no dancing, so the only option is hiking. 🥾🥾
We "wanderless" were out today in manageable numbers, meaning a six-pack👨‍🦯👨‍🦯👩‍🦯👩‍🦯👩‍🦯👩‍🦯 with three short drinks 🐕 🐩🐕.
It's a mystery to me how @Adelheid + ihre Jungs🧍‍♀️🐕🐕 managed to have both the hiking trails and the location exclusively to ourselves. 😇
We had fantastic weather, especially for allergy …

The tour offers a lot of nature. From small border traffic to deep valleys and wide heights. As soon as you are up, you have to go back down. Free today, especially lots of sun and sweat, paired with the smell of hay and freshly mown grass. 😎

Anyone can go hiking when the weather is nice! Today we took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy two Wispertrails to ourselves. When heavy rain started, we retreated comfortably to the inn in Ransel and had an excellent meal there. My few pictures from the tour are only hidden in the Relive video. The other pictures are copied from the …

Today we hiked 2 Wispertrails again. The Ranseler Höhenrausch and the Wollmerschieder Grenzweg - combining the two makes sense as there is only one kilometer between them.
We started in Ransel at the fashion house Arz and then followed the signs clockwise. After the cross hill, we switched to the Wollmerschieder Grenzweg, which we also walked clockwise. Below Wollmerschied we …

May 7, 2022,Wisper Trail Kombi: Ranseler Höhenrausch und Wollmerschieder Grenzweg

The two Wisper Trails Ranseler Höhenrausch and Wollmerschieder Grenzweg can be easily combined and we have also added an extra circuit to the Missionskreuz. We started in Ranseln, at the Land Museum and then down into the Ranselbach valley, where according to the description it goes "over the Jordan", which probably means the ford through the Ranselbach. Speaking of description. …
