December 31, 2023,Flüggenhofsee – Ilster Stausee Runde von Munster (Örtze)

In order to earn the New Year's Eve buffet in Munster, we marched off from the Hotel Deutsches Haus in a small group immediately after breakfast.
We followed the fish trail signs and were led through a really beautiful forest and lake landscape.
A hike that demands repeating in spring or autumn when the sun is shining.

First hike to get used to the Frankenweg. 15 km and no luggage was planned, but I still had to go shopping. So a total of about 16.5 km and 4 kg on my back. My feet coped well this time in the Altras. The change in everyday life also seems to be paying off. But I don't know why …

For the first time in a long time, I walked along the Fischeweg. A lovely autumn walk. I also slowly got used to my first barefoot shoes. Walking in them is really comfortable, but I have to slowly get used to longer distances. My feet aren't finding them all that fun at the moment.

Second familiarization hike for the Franconian Way. 15 km and 5 kg of luggage. The weather was icy, but that gave the tour a special touch. Feet seem to be getting used to the shoes.

January 20, 2024,Elas Hood- Winter Edition

We actually wanted to continue walking along the Heidschnucken Weg. It's good that Ela compared the snow levels in Soltau and Munster and had an alternative route in hand. She showed us her home hiking area in beautiful winter weather. And instead of slipping on the well-traveled and icy long-distance hiking trail, we took a nice lap through the forest …

January 20, 2024,Winterlandschaft Runde um Munster

Late but still done, we went to a hiking community around Munster. In my opinion it would just be a big military training area, but I was taught otherwise. Many beautiful paths with lakes and forest. Lots of peace and, above all, more snow. My insight into this landscape. I will definitely visit and explore again in peace and quiet …

June 8, 2024,🇩🇪 Fischeweg Munster

I had searched the internet for closed hospitals and found the Flüggehofseeklinik. Unfortunately, I couldn't verify the current status via Google... So off we went. Junior was up for it too and we went on the Fischeweg with some great paths. Not many photo opportunities but still nice 👌
Even so... The clinic was unspectacular or is being renovated 😂

The Munster Fish Trail was on the agenda. The descriptions we found made us curious: munster.de/home/tourismus-freizeit/freizeitmoeglichkeiten/wandern/fischeweg.aspx
The weather promised hardly any rain from above and even a few rays of sunshine. We were late when we arrived in Munster at around 2:30 p.m. There was no bakery open and no supermarket within easy reach in the immediate vicinity, so we …
