Listening Spirit Wenholthausen

Highlight • Monument

Listening spirit - a walk-in head with ears and inner tubes for listening. You can actually hear very distant human voices. Great idea!

Not on the bike today, did a Sauerland hike with Alex Meier today, which we actually wanted to hike at Pentecost, but which we then canceled due to alleged storms, but there was hardly any rain that day.
So we made up for the tour today.

May 15, 2022,Golddorf Route Wenholthausen ☀️🥾🌳

A very nice varied circular hiking trail with many great views. In the hot weather today we took a little break at the Esmecke reservoir 😉
First the feet refreshed in the water and then us from the inside too 🍻 😆.
Freshly strengthened, the rest of the way was much easier to walk again.

Today's tour took us from the parking lot at the Eibel Chapel in Wenholthausen, first along the Wennepfad trail along the Wenne River. Then we crossed to the other side of the valley and continued on to the Esmecke Reservoir. From there, it was a steady climb until we could cross the country road. Afterward, we came across the Hölter …

The good weather finally lured me outside the door today and to Wenholthausen. I've had my eye on the Golddorf Route Wenholthausen for a long time and it finally worked out. However, the Wenneplatz hiking car park was extremely full, so I parked somewhere else, but still started my hike there. First we went along the Wenne. Information boards and …
