Borbach Stream in Ardey Mountains Nature Park

Highlight • River

Regardless of the weather, it's always somehow special here. Nice and shady on hot summer days, when it rains you hardly get any water through the dense canopy of leaves

Renaturation of the Borbach at Drei Teiche

Highlight • River

After the old 3 ponds were rebuilt, a nice stream landscape has now emerged.

Former Drei Teiche Area (Borbachtal)

Highlight • Forest

Unfortunately, the three ponds have now been drained and the vegetation gradually takes over the area. In this respect, only the name and the memory remain.

October 11, 2024,Schöner Hohlweg – Schöner Kammweg Runde von Kermelberg

An all-round beautiful hike today with@Moni Wildi @Gesine @Andrea S. From the parking lot, it went straight up into the forest. Autumn was already peeking out everywhere. Lots of paths in and through the forest and little asphalt rounded off the tour. Thank you for the relaxed hike.🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🙂⚒️

Today I met up with @Gesine, @Martin Outdoor🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚲⚒️ and @Moni Wildi for another "after-work walk". The tour wasn't long, but it was still not without its challenges 😅. I was glad that I had my hiking poles with me.
It was really good to walk through the sunny autumn forest with so many nice companions. Martin, you chose the tour …

October 20, 2024,Wanderbares Witten - Rund um den Wartenberg

From the hiking car park we went straight to Wartenberg. Wartenberg is a popular meeting point for hikers in Witten. It is located in the southern part of the city and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The mountain is part of a hiking trail that stretches around Wartenberg and Hohenstein. The signposts are not always well signposted. So …

Heinz Erhardt – "Autumn"

The leaves are falling, it will soon be cold,
the sun is setting, it will soon be dusk.
We enjoyed the summer,
but nothing lasts forever – leaves are falling.

The storks are now moving southwards,
that is the last word of summer.
And cranes are following behind –
what could be sadder?

July 15, 2025,Wanderbares Witten - Rund um den Wartenberg

A scenically diverse route from Witten Waldstr. The description of easy paths, however, was inaccurate. We came to a mountain bike trail that dropped almost vertically. There was no way to hold on, so it was dangerous. And this happened in three places. Unfortunately, we couldn't avoid it. We managed it carefully and with some effort, slipping and falling. This …
