The "Fahrenkrug" has been family-owned and operated since 1866. It specializes in classic German cuisine. It's a great place to stop for a bite to eat and a drink. I highly recommend it from my own experience.

April 13, 2024,Komoot-Gruppenwanderung🚶‍♂️ durch die Dalbekschlucht & durchs Bistal :Escheburg, Börnsen, Kröppelshagen, Fahrendorf

Today it was that time again. Excellently organized by @JR56, 28 hike-hungry Komootlers met at the car park at Fahrendorfer Dorfstraße, reinforced by 3 dogs who wanted to enjoy the primeval Ice Age landscape in spring-like conditions. Accompanied by the best atmosphere, nice conversations, and the very best hiking weather, the wonderful landscape and the budding greenery could be enjoyed. …

Sooo - here is my tour - it was completely over yesterday (Saturday) - so I'm only putting the tour up today (Sunday).

It was a great experience - a great tour on some paths that were unknown to me!

I've been to the Dalbek Gorge a few times - always by bike - so this time on foot.

The usual long series of pictures was left behind today, because socializing was the top priority today🙃.

@JR56 was so kind and invited lots of Komootlers to this magical round. 28! Hiking enthusiasts and three four-legged friends 🐶 answered his call.

A wonderful mix of old, tried and tested faces😁 and new encounters🤩.

Wow, wow, wow!! I wasn't expecting such a beautiful and varied path. A beautiful beech forest with old trees. Gurgling streams, a view to the horizon and deep valleys, yes, you could also call them gorges. So gorge, as in gorge and untrodden hollow way. The fact that I came across this in the suburbs of Hamburg and was able …
