2nd tour for today.
Apparently Lupo is already looking forward to the picnic in the car, which we took with us in the handcart on the walk along the Wasserschaupfad, from the Weihermühle, Wallhalben.
Here is a very nice, well signposted little tour!

After many snowy walks in our local woods over the past few days, we're doing something special today. We're hiking the Water Trail loop to the beautiful icicle waterfalls. The glittering ice has a truly magical quality in the sunlight. 😀

We stroll through the idyllic Odenbach valley past the ponds and the babbling watercourse. The Heck cattle graze comfortably. They enjoy grazing in nature. Despite the drought, a thick stream pours down the waterfall in the cauldron. Springs keep gushing …

Interesting path along tranquil streams and quiet ponds, accompanied by impressive rocks. Several informative panels about water, sandstone and Heck cattle for those who like something to read.
