The tiny rear exit of the Welper cemetery takes me on a path through cool green five kilometers of dense hillside forest, always passing below Blankenstein Castle, but already playing with the altitude.
Two or three times an optical fragment of the castle or its walls peeks through the dense foliage of the beech forest; Otherwise, disregarding all the picturesque architectural highlights, I only experience the quiet peace of the forest.
