I set off today and finally tackled the P15 with Knoppers😁 What can I say, it was a nice round with beautiful panoramas and I think in the spring when the beeches are shooting, this route will be awesome. Beautiful paths, mostly forest and field paths and paths. But it also partly goes over open terrain so that I was …

Today's program included the Premiumweg 15 - a large-scale circumnavigation of Weißenborn, one of the smallest communities in Hesse.
Silke, Cooper and Mia were there and we had a lot of fun together.

We started at the *Am Börnchen* parking lot.

Out and about in the Frau Holle Land geo-nature park 👣🐾

We started hiking at the “am Börnchen” parking lot.
From there we went quickly up the mountain to the Rabenkuppe viewpoint, which we unfortunately reached in the rain.
It's a shame, but the view was still beautiful.
