Highlight • Viewpoint

The modern new building of the tower is very well done. Wide stairs with child safety locks lead up the "ladder to heaven", from which you have a wonderful view. …

February 28, 2022,R1-WA1 immer am Bach lang ☀️😃😎

After we discovered the R1 and WA1 while hiking on the R5, we had to explore it today with the MTB. The area is just great, long climbs and beautiful descents interrupted by mega views over the most beautiful valleys of the ODW.
The tour isn't perfect yet and is still being optimized, but it's definitely a nice round 👍☀️😎

November 10, 2024,Tromm Runde vom Schardhof

Between sun and fog. Fairytale atmospheres and warm periods of sunshine.
Today we stopped off in Waldmichelbach at the Cafe in Der Gass.
After point 10 the track stopped briefly. Drive over the Heinrich-Schlef-Hütte,
always follow the Wa 1.
