Up here you usually have a nice view and there is always a little wind.
Unfortunately today it was very foggy, cloudy and wet.

Short loop in the afternoon, the druid stone sounded interesting! And it's actually quite impressive and well worth the trip. The view from Otto Tower is beautiful, showing 360 degree Westerwald panorama of rolling hills. Unfortunately, there is a lot of broken and deforested forest along the way, especially around the Windhahn summit. But the loop is easy and pleasant …

I'm glad I dared to do it. After all, I've often been afraid of heights in the past. Broom was blooming …

Komoot never manages to record the entire route because the navigation fails again and again. Which disappoints me very much. The entire route is almost 10 km long. There are 2 climbs, …

Hike through the local forests, starting point was the Druidenstein (National Geotope). Here the bark beetle has done a great job and destroyed most of the spruce forests. Bare areas, barren hills, a sad picture. But the good thing about it is that you now have a farsightedness that you never imagined before. Places appear where previously only dark forest …

Great view when the weather is nice.

At kilometer 5.5 we decided not to walk any further down the mountain, but rather to take the shorter route due to the 30°C. Because we would have had to come back up from below.
