April 21, 2025,Dortmund-Ems-Kanal – Mengeder Heimatwald Runde von Mengede

A beautiful route, which I managed with an outdoor walker. Only the stairs up to the canal (12 and 10 steps with a small platform between them) were a bit difficult.

Today I dragged my husband out for a walk in the fresh air!

We went from the Volkspark to the canal and back again via secret paths.

The sun and the fresh air really did me good after my day at work.

The hiking parking lot at Mengede Public Garden is an ideal starting point for various hikes.
I did this walk after work. The path is well suited for that. I particularly enjoyed the fruit trees.
