Today we went on a lovely hike through the Westerwald. A very nice route that is actually easy to walk. However, I would like to point out to anyone who follows suit that two longer sections are difficult to walk on due to logging. I felt like a hurdler. As if the trees had been deliberately placed across the path. …

Hello dear hiking friends,

I am looking for a hiking partner to go on tours together (preferably over several days). Logistically, this is much easier to coordinate with two people.

My to-do list includes:

Werra-Burgen-Steig

Hochrhöner

Weser-Bergland-Weg

Kassel-Steig

I am also open to other suggestions. If you are interested, just write it in the comments.

Best wishes

September 21, 2024,DWT 2024 TOP Wanderweg Westerwald🔝💯🌳🌳🌳🌞✝️

There was no sign of the supposedly several thousand hikers on our top hiking trail today. Apart from a guided hiking group and a few hikers, we had the forest and the great views to ourselves. Beautiful hike on mostly comfortable forest paths with 4 touring stamps.
Conclusion: Eichsfeld is also a wonderful place to hike and we will be …

In the best weather we walked the top circular hiking trail from Touringen today. We started in Wachtedt. From there it went through the colorful. . Buchenwald to the Küllstedter Grund and then to the Martinfelder window. The next goal was the Ershäuser window and the Klüschen Hagis. The paths were almost always very well signposted.

We started directly at the sports field in Martinfeld. A spring gushes out of the ground in the parking lot. 🤔.
The tour is quite nice. There are 4 stamps 🕹, 3 of them double for the Leine-Werra-Weg. Only at
Klüschen Hagis the way is so bad (due to forestry vehicles) that the shoes 🥾🥾 got heavier and heavier. I …
