June 21, 2022,Breckerfeld: A18
My wife visited a friend in Breckerfeld today and while the two of them were sitting comfortably in the ice cream parlour, I preferred to go for a walk. Breckerfeld is officially part of the Ruhr area, but you feel like you're in the Bergisches Land. The beautiful path is initially identical to the pilgrimage path to Lennep and easy …

Breckerfeld and its beautiful rural surroundings are always a great place to go hiking. Today, in glorious weather, we took the A18 hiking route into the Steinbachtal valley to the Ennepe. Breckerfeld's paths impress with their panoramic views and rural farm atmosphere 🥰 The dogs were able to cool off at the Ennepe 👍

Then there was an obstacle, a fallen 🌳. You had to be very sure-footed at the beginning. Then after about 4 km there was a good hiking trail and lots of rest …

Made a friend's wish come true and set off with her on a winter hike to Breckerfeld. We regretted the lack of sunshine ☀️, but the snow panorama was also great. When we started there was still a trail in the snow, but that soon changed. The first rarely used path welcomes us. A small piece of road and then …

Broken through by forest sections, which unfortunately are also affected a lot by deforestation 😓. The 🐕🐕 found cooling in the streams. There is a soothing calm that is only broken by birds and gurgling streams. The fun factor through streams …

In some places the path was so under water that we had to climb past it - wonderful 😊 or fallen and felled trees formed barriers. Great fun, not just for the dogs
