Great layout of Schloss Dhaun, whose walls are freely accessible. The cellar dungeons over several floors, which can be accessed in a stooped position, are funny. There is also a …

Another round... Well, I'm slowly getting tired of it!!
This time we went on the "neighborhood vitality tour," and so we saw the campsite, eagle owl lookout and raven's pulpit, where we were yesterday, from the other side of Dhaun Castle. The highlight was the Skywalk, as well as Dhaun Castle, where "Prince Fiete" was of course carried "royally."

Our tour today started in Johannisberg. We had many beautiful paths and great distant views again. Only a section of approx. 2 km (in the area of the photovoltaic systems) was difficult to walk due to gravel. Our highlight today was Dhaun Castle 🏰. The rest of the way back to Johannisberg was varied with paths, panorama trails and finally …

After we liked the vitality tours around Kirn so much 2 weeks ago, we made up for the missing "Wildgrafenweg" today (unfortunately without blooming rape fields 😢).
The tour is significantly enhanced by the highlights: Dhaun Castle, Brunkenstein ruins and near Skywalk.
Otherwise, the tour offers mostly beautiful paths and great views. Some long, steep sections require some fitness.
Definitely …

Today we had all kinds of weather, it was all there: sun, rain, hail and snowstorm. As the saying goes: today there were seasons I've never experienced before. But we were with great people and there were one or two beautiful stretches of the route. We had fun and a great day.
There was also a brief glitch on Komoot, …

Today we were with the in-laws and so I could start walking right outside the front door.

From Karlshof we first went into the forest in the direction of Dhaun. There past the observatory over a high trail with a wonderful view of the castle. I did another round there. Beautiful view of the Kellenbachtal. Then we went on to …

I think the photos speak for themselves, there's nothing more to say. It almost feels like you're on vacation 😃 except that I have to work tomorrow.

Bright sunshine was forecast for today's hike with my dad. At the starting point of our tour in Hochstetten-Dhaun, however, the Nahe Valley was still in the deepest fog, so that I forgot to activate the recording of the komoot app out of sheer shock. I only came up with the idea after about 1 km, so that you can't …
