March 9, 2025,Husarensteig u. Michelsberg – Runde von Arnsberg

In wonderful spring weather, our Sunday hike today took us to the Altmühltal valley in Arnsberg. A tour that I had been planning for a long time, but had never dared to do alone. Thanks to my neighbor Christian, we managed to conquer the Husarensteig - and it was beautiful!

March 23, 2024,Husarensteig – Arnsberger Leite Runde von Arnsberg

Unfortunately, we couldn't hike along the Husarensteig as planned and had to turn around and take a detour because of fallen trees. The path from Kipfenerg was closed, unfortunately there was no sign from our side...
