November 1, 2023,Kreuzbachtal ab Aurich

Holidays and sunshine, what more do you need to be happy? A bicycle! But I left that at home today, reason prevailed.

In the Kreuzbachtal from Aurich towards Großglattbach it is really very relaxing. The paths are partly asphalted, partly gravel, and there are also some forest paths. It was a bit damp and muddy, especially in the forest.

Found the ball and romped with the dogs... and did a little train training.

With 2 friends handicapped by knee damage, it was only six, but very nice kilometers. The Kreuzbach, which originated from the Glattbach and Grenzbach, accompanies meandering half of the hike. The way back at the top leads through dry grassland areas and along a dry stone wall made of shell limestone.

Our traditional May 1st bike tour was replaced by a short hike due to the occasion. And because it was so nice yesterday, we also went to Kreuzbachtal today. This time the start was in Aurich in the direction of Großglattbach. Here, too, the Kreuzbachtal convinces with its original charm. Soon the orchids will also bloom there. Whether on foot …

June 14, 2025,🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Aurich: Orchideensuche im Kreuzbachtal

At the beginning: 20°C, shade, humid air. Until we crossed to the other side of the Kreuzbach stream. It was already quite sunny there.

Oh, we found orchids here; it seems to me there are a lot of them again this year.

We also saw frogs today, they were only the size of a thumbnail. And they could jump! 🤣

Sun 🌞 searched and found. Kreuzbachtal from Aurich and back on the "Höhenweg". Unfortunately, the Achilles tendon didn't allow more 😟. Route but beautiful and better than nothing.
