July 16, 2023,Durch das Mental bei Henglarn 🌼🦋

Today we have again chosen a hike from the book "Heimatwandern": Hike 13 - Through the Mental near Henglarn.
A nice little round, in the forest it is easy to bear even with the warm temperatures.

Today we went in a large group (12 people) into the woods near Henglarn. In the most beautiful weather, a nice tour with nice conversations.

Hike found on Komoot. Thanks for that.
Before I get cabin fever, I prefer to take a tour. The route was varied and ran in sections over the Westphalia hiking trail, the Sintfeld-Höhenweg, the Puttenholz path and the Altenau hiking trail.
Cheers to my four paws. The section with the wild boar went downhill and was Muttke to the power …
