In the middle of this week I invited people to the tour:
"Spontaneous Spontaneous - the weather is at its best in Warburg this week on Sunday" and so today 10 hikers spontaneously took the train to Warburg in the most beautiful hiking weather.
First we walked below the Warburg sugar factory on the old station path and then a …

It was going to be a foggy day!😶‍🌫️ But it was also a nice trip, up to the Desenberg castle ruins to get over the fog. Up there there was a wonderful view of the white cotton wool in the plain.
We went back to the ancient Hanseatic city of Warburg. The old town with its beautiful half-timbered houses, churches, …

This morning we set off for Warburg.
From the train station we set off through fields and forests 🥾🥾up to the only hill for miles around, the Desenberg.
From here you have a great view of the surrounding area when the weather is nice ☀️ 🧐
On the way back we strolled through Warburg, a pretty little town.

Today a small, international group of friends from 5 nationalities went hiking in and around Warburg. Following a template from @Wood Walker , we first went to the Desenberg castle ruins. Unfortunately it was very foggy and hazy and many of the paths were quite asphalt-heavy! In Dalheim there is an interesting exhibition in the "Diemeltal Nature Experience" information center. …

Since I couldn't fall asleep last night (greetings from the top floor apartment 🥲), I thought I could use the time more sensibly than lying around stupidly. So we got in the car at 3:15 a.m., drove smoothly to Desenberg and enjoyed the sunrise from up there. It was just wonderful ☺️ Had a quick breakfast and then the little …

Wonderfully warm spring weather and sunshine for @Klute71 and me! The sky was slightly veiled, but still offered a decent long-distance view over the wide, rolling landscape around Warburg. Simply wonderful! In parts, we walked along the Diemel-SchmetterlingsSteig, where colorful butterflies fittingly accompanied us. 🦋✨
The highlight was the Desenberg with its castle ruins. Instead of the comfortable asphalt path, …

Yesterday I traveled with @Claudi by train to Warburg. Despite the train delay, we still caught the connecting bus. We actually thought we had just missed it – but the bus was also delayed. 😅

After getting off the bus, we immediately had a view of the old town of Warburg. Beautiful! 😍
