“The Stations of the Cross lead right through the streets of our everyday lives. We, Lord, usually walk in the opposite direction to yours. It is precisely in this way that we might see your face, that we might meet your gaze. We walk our usual paths and you come towards us. Your eyes look into our hearts. Then we hesitate to continue on our way, as if nothing had happened. We can turn around, look at you, follow you. We can put ourselves in your shoes and sense that it is better to change direction. (…) The Via Crucis is the prayer of those who are in motion. It interrupts our usual paths so that we may move from weariness to joy. It is true that the path of Jesus costs us something: In this world, where everything is calculated, generosity comes at a high price. But in surrender, everything blossoms anew: A city divided into factions and torn apart by conflict approaches reconciliation; a withered religiosity rediscovers the fruitfulness of God's promises; even a A heart of stone can be transformed into a heart of flesh. We need only listen to the invitation, “Come and follow me!” (cf. Mark 10:21), and trust in that loving gaze. (Prayer for the Stations of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2024)

🔝 2025: very good & free = to ride with MTB

Here, crossing the stream requires both the biker and the bike. So don't ride too fast, but also not too slow through the water and try to keep your eyes on the water, as there may be something on the bottom. You should refrain from crossing when the water is high.

<< Quartzite stone formation “Dicke Steine” near Homburg Castle >> "The “Dicke Steine” gave rise to a great deal of speculation in the past about their formation and origin. Like the Wiehl stalactite cave, they are one of the geological attractions of the Homburg region. They were formed in the Tertiary period, i.e. 65 to 2 million years ago. At that time, the Bergisches Land had a warm tropical climate. The soil was characterized by the soft sandstone that still predominates today. This was deposited on the sea floor in the Paleozoic period (Devonian). In the places where the Dicken Steine are today, warm, silicic water must have flowed through the sandstone. This caused quartz particles to dissolve in the sandstone, which were then “precipitated” out of the water solution, i.e. they settled again. This formed a fine-grained, closely interlocked quartz. However, this was still surrounded by sandstone - it was only through strong leaching processes that the surrounding softer sandstone layers. The quartzite stones, however, resisted this erosion and remained as "thick stones". The fossils that are often present in the sandstone fell victim to the erosion process almost completely, but can sometimes still be seen in outline in the quartzite."

Do not go into the water under any circumstances because there are turbines that cause an undercurrent and you will be sucked in, so let it swim and better not let your dogs swim too

Currently (now in November) the route is not recommended because of tree felling work and the path, if there is one, is muddy.
