July 18, 2023,Hachenburger Löwenspur 1 mit Seitensprung zum Landschaftsmuseum
We combined the visit to the landscape museum with a short walk down to the Nister.
After the ascent we treated ourselves to a small ice cream.
The museum is small, but very nice and not too expensive with 4€ entrance fee.

It is easy to walk, but there are seating areas.....

The B414 is currently a construction zone, and fortunately …

We went down into the valley to the Nistermühle🐎, past the cemetery 🪦 with a view of the Hachenburg and through the Holzbachschlucht over a …

The diversion is signposted. But since today is Sunday and no one is working on the construction site, we went through. But of course it is forbidden. But everything was nicely tidied …
