July 17, 2024,Durch das idyllische Asbachtal

Today we set off from "Gut Pollen" Nierenhofer Straße.125, 42555 Velbert, into the idyllic Asbachtal. This route has everything: crumbly paths, man-high ferns and, due to the dry summer, a few muddy passages. 😉

A lovely little walk, mostly on forest paths. Highly recommended for children, as it involves crossing small streams several times and offers plenty to explore.

May 20, 2024,Tour de Matsch

The tour runs largely along natural paths that are also used by horse riders. Sturdy shoes are important, and walking sticks are recommended, especially if it has rained beforehand, like today. Luckily we had a change of shoes in the car. With high humidity and heat, the whole undertaking was quite ambitious, but we were rewarded with forest solitude and …
