It's like throwing a dart at the map, randomly and with 4 hours time I ended up in Schwentinental near Kiel.
So it went back along the Schwentine to the mouth in Kiel and north through the fields via the Oppendorfermühle.
A very beautiful piece of earth. The weather did the rest and the well-placed clouds seem to have been …

Sunday Tour Along the Schwentine

After a night of partying on Saturday, with a heavy head and an even heavier mood, today's walk in perfect weather was a metabolism-boosting hike.

The route mostly followed the Schuster-8, a well-known hiking and cycling trail. Wide paths, some of which are pedestrian highways. Not really my thing.

Unfortunately, the sun pushed the clouds down, and it became slightly foggy in the fields—a shame. We weren't the only ones out for a winter hike. We ran into several people we'd met on the trail. …

Beautifully varied round around the lower reaches of the Schwentine. In about three hours you hike along the river through forest and fields. You can stop off at the Oppendorfer Mühle - the outdoor area has just been redesigned. If the entire route is too far for you, you can also cover a stretch with the Schwentinetalfahrt. From the west …
