Almost completely flat, lots of forest, lots of lakes, lots of rock. Perfect. A very easy tour, but you take a lot of rest to look around and relax not a big run 😀.
The lakes were formed naturally because humans quarried basalt before. Now it is a nature reserve and is well staged. Beautifully marked paths leave many nice …

October 29, 2022,Etwas Vogelsberg gibt es tatsächlich auch bei Mühlheim/ Dietesheim...

...as I found out on this tour "Around the Vogelsberger See - Vogelsberger See Runde von Lämmerspiel". Lots of water and basalt rocks. Mining continued here until 1982. It's amazing how nature has reclaimed its terrain over the years. An interesting and varied tour in a really bizarre lake landscape.

The Dietesheim quarries are always nice to walk around. There are three circular routes, so there is something for everyone and if you put the three together you make a nice Sunday circuit.

This circular route is very beautiful, located in the nature reserve. Some of the paths are very good, but there are also uneven stretches. It is very suitable on hot days because it is often in the forest. You will find great places, viewing platforms where you can get very nice views of the lakes.
Several small lizards cross the …

The focus this time was to use as many of the narrow paths along the cliff edges as possible, to eat again at the Grüner See Eck and to visit a lost place.
