Today I went for a hike with friends.

Unfortunately, the sun didn't make it out today.

It's a shame the paths in this nature reserve are so straight... 🙈

April 6, 2024,Blick auf den Altrhein – Schöner Waldweg Runde von Stockstadt

It was really beautiful, the forest is very close to a primeval forest, only a little wood is cut along the edges of the path, the rest of the forest is really left to itself. If you really want to enjoy nature there, you should set off very early. I started at around 8 a.m. and was really alone until …

May 21, 2023,Von Parkplatz Stockstadt - Runde im Kühkopf

I don't know exactly what I expected from the hike, but somehow it was more.
The tour starts at a relatively large parking lot where you also have a chance of finding a shady spot.
Then over the bridge into the Kühkopf.
Shortly after the bridge, turn right onto one of the many straight paths. Under the canopy of leaves, …

Today I finally caught some sunny winter weather - which makes hiking twice as much fun 🌞🤗

The Kühkopf is a river island in the Hessian Ried formed by the main fairway of the Upper Rhine and an old Rhine arm. As part of the straightening of the Rhine (1828/1829), a straightening cut was made west of the peninsula. The …
