October 8, 2022,Hiwweltour Westerberg

Along beautiful field and meadow paths you climb steadily towards Westerberg, through the vineyards with wonderful views of the autumnal vine leaves. 🍂🍇
If the Hiwwel ruff works, so does the Hiwwel widder runner. ⛰️
On the way back into the valley past many horse paddocks, the Selzbach accompanies you back to your destination.

May 1, 2022,Hiwweltour - Westerberg-Wald – An der Selz Runde von Großwinternheim

Very nice Hiwweltour with a moderate incline in the Seltz Valley. As always well signposted.👍
There was more forest and above all much more sun than expected 🌞🌞🌞

At the end there was a nice glass of wine and a delicious snack in the Eulenmühle - what more could you ask for 😁

Today, when the weather was pretty nice, we went to the other side of the Rhine to Rheinhessen to run the Hiwweltour Westerberg again.
It was a bit muddy, but we really liked the beautiful landscape and the tour guide.
Have a nice weekend 🙋🏼‍♂️

Meeting point "Eulenmühlchen" at the Selzbach in Großwinternheim for the afternoon walk 🦮.

Last night we decided to do the Hiwweltour Westerberg (we're still missing a few - the ones we did can be found at komoot.com/de-de/collection/1065604/-hiwweltouren-vitaltouren). Shortly before going to bed we sent @Veronika 2020 a message because she doesn't live far away. We spontaneously agreed to do the tour together this morning. Most Hiwweltouren aren't very spectacular. Today we mainly went …

Since rain was reported for 2:00 p.m., we hurried today and ran the Hiwweltour Westerberg. We started at the parking lot at the cemetery in Schwabenheim and then went counterclockwise on the well-signposted route. In a light drizzle we went past the Vinomat from the Schuck winery along the Selz to the Eulenmühle. Continue to Westerhaus Castle and via the …

A relaxed walk in less than three hours through the Selztal. We started at the Groß-Winternheim sports field and then walked towards Schwabenheim. On the way you could enjoy well-chilled wine and secco twice, which was provided for self-service by wineries. The tour is not particularly strenuous and
