Great layout of Schloss Dhaun, whose walls are freely accessible. The cellar dungeons over several floors, which can be accessed in a stooped position, are funny. There is also a …

Railing made of glass, floor at the outer end made of grating with an unobstructed view into the depths, otherwise opaque.
Great view of Hellberg and far into the Nahe valley.

I think the photos speak for themselves, there's nothing more to say. It almost feels like you're on vacation 😃 except that I have to work tomorrow.

The deer jumps high, the deer jumps far, why not? It has time. (Heinz Erhardt)
We, @Iris, @Michael F, and I, took that time today, too.
Our tour took us along great paths through a charming landscape to interesting buildings such as a skywalk, the Brunkenstein ruins, Dhaun Castle, and the former St. Johannisberg collegiate church.
In addition to culture …

Our tour today started in Johannisberg. We had many beautiful paths and great distant views again. Only a section of approx. 2 km (in the area of the photovoltaic systems) was difficult to walk due to gravel. Our highlight today was Dhaun Castle 🏰. The rest of the way back to Johannisberg was varied with paths, panorama trails and finally …

On tour with @Manuela 📸 , who chose a very beautiful tour, and @Iris . Starting in Hochstetten-Dhaun, we followed the "Hildegard von Bingen Pilgrimage Trail" and the "Vital Tour," which run partly parallel. The first highlights, besides beautiful views, were the St. Johannisberg Collegiate Church and the Skywalk, which we reached after a good 700 m. Continuing on the …

A nice varied tour with beautiful views. I got lost twice because there were no signs.

This time we went on the "neighborhood vitality tour," and so we saw the campsite, eagle owl lookout and raven's pulpit, where we were yesterday, from the other side of Dhaun Castle. The highlight was the Skywalk, as well as Dhaun Castle, where "Prince Fiete" was of course carried "royally."

After we liked the vitality tours around Kirn so much 2 weeks ago, we made up for the missing "Wildgrafenweg" today (unfortunately without blooming rape fields 😢).
The tour is significantly enhanced by the highlights: Dhaun Castle, Brunkenstein ruins and near Skywalk.
Otherwise, the tour offers mostly beautiful paths and great views. Some long, steep sections require some fitness.
Definitely …

Today we had all kinds of weather, it was all there: sun, rain, hail and snowstorm. As the saying goes: today there were seasons I've never experienced before. But we were with great people and there were one or two beautiful stretches of the route. We had fun and a great day.
There was also a brief glitch on Komoot, …
