November 21, 2021,Baumbilderweg zur Burgruine Osternohe

What a great idea 💡
Not only for children 😉 this trail is interesting ... I will definitely plan and run this again, as there is still more to see ...
The piece that I ran today can also be done with a stroller

From the hiking car park inosterohe it goes up into the forest. This is where the tree picture path by the Easter artist Peter Kraus starts. Small pictures of animals are hidden everywhere in the forest along the approx. 3 km long circular route. With the current snow we haven't discovered that many. We'll do it all over again in …

A great short hike for young and old, where you can discover wondrous animals and beings in every season since spring 2021 if you look to the right and left of the path. 🙃

With the help of the map with the marked locations it is easier to find all the pictures, but without it it is of course more …

Beautiful tour with lots of views, perfect for tobogganing even in winter. Following the Baumbilderweg you can walk a nice figure eight and stop off at the Igelwirt. Attention: It is not so ideal to come back to the starting point with the kids after the route has already been covered ;).

Since Mickey had an appointment at the dog groomer today, I bridged the waiting time and walked the 2nd part of the Baumbilderweg. A very nice route through the forest.

We started today from the car park for hikers in Osternohe, a district of Schnaittach.
First it went uphill in the direction of Entmersberg, until we came to a gravel path (signpost "Blue Cross") and from there ran into the forest. We followed the path until we came across the new hiking sign "Baumbilderweg". Here we turned left. On the …

Today I took on the tree picture trail by the Easter painter Peter Paul Kraus and went in search of the 50 works of art in the woods on the Easter Castle Hill. On two loops of different lengths, north-south approx. 1.8 km and east-west approx. 3.2 km, it is now a question of discovering the tree pictures on the …
