June 13, 2026,Ulmen ➡️ Meiserich ➡️ Ueßbachtal 🔄

My hike today takes me from Ulmen to Meiserich first. 🗺️

Behind the village, the kilometer-long Ueßbachtal begins.

The wind rustles the trees 🌲💨, so that the sounds of the nearby motorway soon fade away. In general, I am moving further and further away from the A48 here, and nature soon dominates the scenery and the sound 🦅🌿
