June 5, 2022,Im Märchenwald unterwegs - Runde von Wehrendorf

This tour was actually great ☺️. On the one hand, the entire round was unknown to us and we didn't cross any known sections, on the other hand, we hiked through what was perhaps the most beautiful forest area so far. We couldn't stop being amazed 😃😃.
Just lovely. And the rain didn't come until we had finished the tour. …

A very beautiful and varied route. All along easily accessible forest paths. Wonderful hiking weather. Surprisingly, there weren't many people on the trail. And on a Sunday, that too.

Since the weather was finally suitable for hiking again today, we set off for Bad Essen to do a tour that we had been eyeing up between Christmas and New Year.

We started at the hiking car park at the Waldsee, from where the route initially leads flatly along a horse pasture towards the forest.

Today I was traveling with company in the area of Bad Essen.
There were some steeper sections. I had a lot of fun, but you should be in a very good basic condition 😉
But there are also many beautiful places to linger and relax.

I hope that anyone who tackles the route will have a lot of fun 🙂
