August 22, 2021,Marienfeld/Papsthügel – Boisdorfer See Runde von Türnich
The first time on Pope's hill. The idea that around a million people gathered here in 2005 is impressive.

Showing Translation

After-work tour from Türnich - is perhaps more of a bike tour due to the mostly wide dirt roads and the high proportion of asphalt, but also has some nice highlights in store for hikers along the way. 👍🏻

Why wander into the distance, see the good is so close. Round over the Marienfeld, the renatured lignite opencast mining area. Including "climbing" the papal hill and memories of the World Youth Day of 2005. Beautiful: Türnich Castle with castle café
