Today I took a Komoot route. Unfortunately, some of the paths were not legally accessible due to RWE land. I tried to be inconspicuous and walked around them whenever possible.

The villages were incredibly pretty.

The rest of the route was through the fields and along the road.

So, I was out for some vitamin D today ^^

A hike in the "no man's land" starting from Jackerath.

The path leads us through fields, and the wind whistles around our ears. Beyond Holzweiler, with its large church, we reach the Garzweiler open-cast lignite mine.

Finally, we visit the viewing platform, where you can look down into the open-cast mine.
