Today again briefly in the Vockeröder Heide before it is completely bloomed. On the big Ars-Natura circuit, it went from Spangenberg in the rain to shortly before Vockerode and then back on the Bartenwetzerpfad U (no marking) through the heath towards Spangenberg.

Sauerland was actually planned, but it was covered in clouds (... and later rain). The sky over Spangenberg looked similarly grey at the start of the tour, but then it turned merciful and offered sun with blue and cloud spectacle. 🌤️
The destination was the blooming heath near Vockerode, a lonely, picturesque idyll. The route led along the spring path …

From the Spangenberg market square, take the S5 through the Vockerröder Heide and back via the Ars Natura. If only it hadn't been so hot 🤪

August 11, 2023,Spangenberg S 5 - Rundweg Vockeröder Heide

Since @Anna-Lisa likes to see the heather in bloom, it made sense to walk the S5 while the heather was in bloom. And well it was very hot, I think 28°C. Otherwise, the path was scenically very nice, mostly we went through the forest or along the edge of the forest. Unfortunately, it was almost all over gravel and tar. …

Perfect hiking weather ☀️🥾! That's why I set off towards Vockeröder Heide today quite spontaneously.

From the Spangenberg market square, the walk initially went uphill on a section of the large Ars Natura Spangenberg circuit. The many works of art along the way quickly make you forget that you are only walking uphill. And before you know it, you are …

I started again at Spangenberg's market square. Initially, the S5 runs identically to the S4.

It was obviously still too early for the heath.

I was able to use one stamp. Otherwise, it's just a forest highway.
