Out and about in the Rhine-Main Regional Park.

On our to-do list for today's tour were three highlights:

- the Regional Park Tower
- the Poet's House and
- the Silver Lake.

We wouldn't be us if we hadn't checked the opening hours beforehand (who even does that? 🤣), and so we were denied access to the tower 😞.

Nice sunset walk. Unfortunately, the tower was closed, but the sinking autumn sun was also wonderful on the ground.

Based on a tour by @Marc (THANK YOU 😃 ), we drove to the Wild Donkey in the Rhine-Main Regional Park today.

Of course, the Rosarium isn't giving anything away at the moment; for this we have been spoiled with lush lilacs and cherry blossoms. ❤️🥰

The tour itself was very nice.
The weather could have been a bit better! It was windy, cold, and the sky was gray. As if that wasn't enough, a drizzle started for about 30 minutes around 1:00 PM. Only at the end of the tour in Hattersheim did the sun shine for about 10 minutes.
I've firmly resolved to repeat …

Today the hike went from Hattersheim to the landscape protection area Weilbacher Kiesgruben. The landscape still looks a bit bare, but the first soft green is already showing. I will definitely come here again in the summer.

Today, Sunday, there will be no hike due to the forecast for a lot of rain. And as is the case with weather forecasts, they are not always accurate. At least my morning walk with the dogs remained dry.

We wanted to come back here after two years anyway, so Aless' tour a few days ago naturally spurred us on again... Thank you! 😉

The regional park routes in Rhein-Main lead through interesting places in the local cultural and natural landscape.
