We wanted to walk the Hoing-Kaut trail and got so lost right at the beginning due to catastrophic signage that we continued the tour the wrong way round🫣

A short midweek loop around Barig-Selbenhausen on the Hoing-Kaut Trail.

A well-marked circular route that we've done a few times.
Always beautiful with the views over the Lahn Valley, the Waldfriedhof Cemetery, and the Buttersteg Bridge.

Happy Wednesday everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

After yesterday's Christmas party, my legs were heavy, my fitness was in the basement and my stomach was sagging 😁
That's why there is a designated loop around Barig-Selbenhausen in the immediate area.

I already completed the Hoing-Kaut path in the summer and now in my winter dress it has a different perspective.

Please do not take the time as a benchmark, was traveling alone with a dog. The pictures are not just from today, I've hiked the route several times. It's really fun.

To conclude the long weekend, we looked for a short round in the immediate vicinity again.
The small round around Barig-Selbenhausen was suitable with a relaxed 11 km and quite easy paths.
Always in the green over the Ereigniswald and with a view of the castle ruins Löhnberg and Merenberg.
