July 9, 2026,Rheinbach-Teiche – Manuelskotten (Wassermühle) Runde von Cronenberg

I really enjoyed yesterday's hike with Günter.

The area with lots of nature and little asphalt is beautiful.

I was allowed to take as many photos as I wanted... my long-time hiking friend let me do my thing and didn't stop me!!!

Also the stop at > Café Born was optimal!

Günter, thank you very much for the wonderful day!

Beautiful hike through the wintry forest of Wuppertal Cronenberg. Finally the weather cooperated, the sun even shone at times. But you have to hurry, it gets dark in no time.

Very nice tour with lots of forest and fields, and a little Cronenberg. She has it all with her altitude. In the end we didn't even feel like drinking a coffee in the bridge café anymore

Today I was out with the SGV after I got the OK for the dog. It was a nice round trip from W-Cronenberg on mostly well-known paths.
Despite initial reservations, everyone had fun at Chiamba.

Hiked a beautiful, challenging tour with the Dogtrekking Friends of North Rhine-Westphalia today. Maybe not so many km but were mostly beautiful forest roads and single trails. You should definitely be sure-footed, and there were also a few natural obstacles to overcome. As a reward, there was ice cream, even delicious dog ice cream, which I suspect was the highlight …
