Drove to Wachendorf today. Parked at the cemetery. Then I headed towards the chapel on forest paths. It appears as if out of nowhere. Beautiful little chapel ⛪🌲 Along the Starzel river, over the blue bridge 🌉 past a fish ladder, on to Bierlingen. From there, it's a steep and long climb back through the woods. A lovely loop on …

We crossed Wachendorf with the imposing castle of the Baron von OW. A short, harmless rain shower surprised us at the bus stop. We continued past a field cross with …

In itself not a bad round, but the passage from the castle mill to the chapel on the main road is more than suboptimal. Unfortunately, the trail was so signposted.
