Chapel Spring in Naturpark Soonwald-Nahe

Highlight • Natural Monument

unfortunately hardly any water comes through...difficult to siphon off...
But it swells around the fountain... the water is probably looking for new paths...

If this route had been closer to us, so we didn't have to travel over 100 kilometers, it would have been a great way to clock up some miles.

in front of me. The little …

Our tour started today in the small town of Auen. Walter had shortened the tour a bit and therefore changed the starting point.
The tour was demanding, as it cost us a lot of strength today. There were many beautiful paths, quaint stream valleys, steep ascents 😕🥴 in alternation and also great distant views again. Today we had a lot …
