February 8, 2023,Spaziergang durch das Hühnermoor Marienfeld☀️ 6 Grad

Always nice, especially with this dream weather, a walk through the only high moor area in the district of Gütersloh...also always worth a visit...the Marienfeld monastery, which dates back to 1185.

At least walk a few more steps, that was the motto 😊 And Marienfeld with chicken moor and monastery is always suitable for that. And thank God someone in the big Komoot family recently wrote about a bridge that no longer exists..... that saved us a decent detour 😊
