At the so-called "Herrensteinen" (=Schneidersteinen, =Grenzsteinen) a rest in the middle of the deep forest is a nice rest. Here the border is marked between Waldeck (Stern) and Hesse (Löwe) …

The boundary stone path - a fundamentally beautiful hiking trail - which this time thrilled us with many hiking stones in addition to the boundary stones. 🤩
Since there was some forest work on the path, it was definitely an advantage that the paths were frozen and covered with a little snow. This made it possible to enjoy icy branches …
