July 7, 2024,Wandern in Morsbach - Das Bergische - Baumweg

Today we're heading to the town of Morsbach. Tree Trail number 24 awaits us, along with a beautiful tower. The weather is good, and we have time until the evening, because then there will be storms ⛈️Trees shape our lives in many places and produce a large portion of the oxygen without which no life would be possible. This …

May 14, 2022,Bergische Streifzüge Nr. 24 Baumweg

Just took a little hike with me on the way back 😉
And since we always like to go on themed hiking trails, it was another Bergisch foray. Short & crisp and after only 2km we both grabbed the water bottles 🥵 because the sun was shining beautifully again ☀️
We liked Morsbach and the surrounding area, some old houses, …

February 1, 2025,Bergischer Streifzug Nr. 24 - Der Baumweg 🌳 -Aussichtsturm und Höllenstieg

This path was ideal for a short walk in the late afternoon. At just 6 km long, you can walk it in a good 1.5-2 hours. You should plan some time for the climb and the view from the observation tower. The views are fascinating!

Nice short loop from Morsbach up to the observation tower on the Hohe Hardt and back down again.

March 14, 2024,Bergische Streifzüge 24: Baumweg

From my home base: Düsseldorf, the Bergische Streifzug 24 is a bit off the beaten path. And at just over 6 kilometers, not exactly the longest either. But since I was basically in the corner today, I took it in the best weather and combined it with the also short foray 21.

May 28, 2023,Bergischer Streifzug 24 - Baumweg

The second Bergisch foray of the day, No. 24 Baumweg, starts and ends in Morsbach. A nice short tour up to the Morsbach lookout tower and then back through the town center. Due to the length, it is particularly recommended with children or as an afternoon walk.

March 6, 2022,Bergischer Streifzug 24 : Baumweg

After the early shift of our linen trailer, we went, albeit later in the day, on a short foray into the mountains, number 24: Baumweg in Morsbach. Actually, we don't want to drive that far! Nevertheless, it was a nice little round with a lot of information about trees, beautiful distant and local views and as a highlight the observation …
