Schelde Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The way to the actual spring is quite overgrown in the summer months and accordingly the ticks danger in shorts high. But worth it to stop by here (see comment above).

October 20, 2022,Rundwanderung durch den Schelderwald mit Silbersee und Wilhelmsteinen

Beautiful hiking trail in the Schelderwald in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland. Started at the outdoor pool in Dillenburg-Oberscheld, we went to the Silbersee, which is small but still very beautiful. Unfortunately, I did not see the turtles that live there. And on to the Wilhelmsteinen, which I always find very impressive! Great round!!
