Super nice little tour in Noswendel with really great weather. 🌞
Despite the fact that the way is not that long, it is all the more beautiful.
I can only recommend it to everyone. 😊

So... with this short, pleasant walk, we're taking a "break" for now...
(Family responsibilities still apply...)


And it hurts a little again when such an interesting "hiking trip" essentially comes to an end.
The year is also progressing, and unfortunately, many flowering meadows are already falling victim to mowing
(despite the NABU's recommendations for species conservation).

March 18, 2023,Himmels Gääs Paad

Quality time👌🏼🍀
A great autumn get-together with your favorite people 🍂🍁😃☺️

The tour was mostly in the forest, and when I was outside, there were ripe apples everywhere. That's how my stomach only growled at the end of the round 😀. Otherwise it was really nice to walk, mostly narrow paths, a bit of water, everything was great 👍🏼

Today, after a break due to illness, we went on a short hike again. load test passed. The "Paad" is recommended for a spontaneous, short hike. wish a nice weekend

The 7.4 km long dream loop "Himmels Gääs Paad" in Noswendel is a beautiful small hiking trail in Saarland. The hike starts directly at the beautiful Noswendeler See. The path offers a bit of everything, from as written, a route along the lake, over forest paths and also small paths through the forest, it's all there! On the way you …

For our second tour, we follow the Himmels-Gääs-Paad, which begins just a few kilometers further on at Noswendeler Lake.

The path initially runs a little way around the lake, which we have to ourselves in light rain, the pedal boats snuggle up to each other like they're orphaned, a pair of mallards feel disturbed...
The path runs a …
