Very nice, especially in autumn with the bright colors. It's fun to drive along the Holzweg. The Silberborn MTB course is nearby. Can be combined well.

September 12, 2021,🌾 Hochmoor Mecklenbruch 🐂 Solling

A nice tour through the Mecklenbruch high moor in Solling. Weather was absolutely perfect. Started from the Mecklenbruch hiking car park, it went over the wooden plank path over the high moor, on through the beautiful Solling landscape. A little bit of culture about the Silberborn Solling history could not be missing, "told" by the impressive wooden sculptures.

The best weather was forecast for this weekend. 🌤🌡👏🏼🤩
We already made our cross 🗳 last weekend and so this morning we headed to the southern Weserbergland.
A great sunrise accompanied us in the morning hours. 🌄
We started at the Mecklenbruch hiking car park at spring-like 11°C on a beautiful hike through the forests and moors in Hochsolling.
Right …

Haven't been here for a long time. The boardwalks through the moor are always worth a visit.
With an area of 63 hectares, the Mecklenbruch is one of the best-preserved raised bogs in the Lower Saxony mountains. What had taken thousands of years to grow, people destroyed in just a few years by mining peat. To do this, deep ditches …

Wonderful 😃😃😃

@Sunny Sun I. 🥾👑 and I went to Silberborn today. The weather was perfect, and it was our first snowshoe hike of the fall/winter season 🤩
The route we did is always worth recommending.

Unfortunately, we missed @Henno, but as I saw afterward, he was here too...

Best regards and see you tomorrow, 🦎🦊✌🏻

Today was a perfect ☀️ autumn day - ideal for a connoisseur round through a lot of autumn 🌳🌲🌳🌳🌲. In Mecklenbruch there is a long boardwalk and down into the Hellental a path first leads through the forest and then in front of the valley floor over a 🐄 meadow. Otherwise you follow this round almost only paved, gravel forest …

Once again we escaped the haze and were able to soak up some sun for a few hours. Suri was actually born 4 years ago today with 10 siblings. So today we had extra sausage and an extra nice walk 😀

Today I hiked this route for the umpteenth time, just because of stamps 15 and 27. There's still one winter tour missing, and I'm already looking forward to it, as the landscape has a very special magic in winter.
