Nice hike around Hornbach with accompaniment in great hiking weather and at the end we ate a delicious sausage salad in the Gimpelwaldhütte and of course a spritzer with it 👍😉

Today I took a look at the paradise garden premium hiking trail in Hornbach. So in my opinion this is a beautiful forest and view path that you can walk but don't have to. The signage is there and there are plenty of places to rest. There really isn't much else to report about the route. I chose the most …

Today a tour in an area where we don't travel that often, namely between Zweibrücken and France.
First of all, we have to say that we wouldn't do the tour when it's hot because there's hardly any shade.
We were extremely lucky today. Perfect weather and many small highlights along the way. The vastness of the landscape was a welcome …

It's been a long time since I've been without an umbrella🌞 A lovely hike through the countryside around Hornbach. As a reward, I had a wine spritzer in the Gimpelwaldhütte.

The paradise garden path led today in heavenly hiking weather mainly past fields with beautiful views. Once you walk 10 meters past the entry path of around 50 bee colonies, you run a little faster. 😅

I had already chosen this round yesterday. On the Internet I read that there could be blockages and diversions. It doesn't matter!
So in places it was quite a mud fight 🤣 With 2 dogs on tow lines I looked totally dirty within a very short time.

After almost four weeks of the flu, my first hike. It was so exhausting. And muddy 😅. Oh well. My dear friend Sonja ☀️ even showed up, and then it felt a bit like spring. Definitely makes me want more. Now, who's going to clean my shoes?
