August 15, 2023,Von der Wackenmühle um die Niedschleife

Last year, on August 20th, I was on my way from the Wackenmühle to the Niedchleife.
Some time later the druid path with the low loop again.
Afterwards I created this tour, which I hiked today with three hiking friends.
A very nice round. However, after the previous rain, the inside of the Niederschleife was very wet.

Start and finish was the Wackenmühle in Hemmersdorf.
Hemmersdorf is one of the largest towns in the Saarland municipality of Rehlingen-Siersburg in the Niedtal.

For health reasons of my husband we start with small tours. A small Nordic walking tour at home is a perfect start for us.
Find that such a small route that has hardly any incline, beautiful …
