Good view of the Oelberg basalt mine.
Two information boards tell you about the geology / rock structure of the Oelberg, as well as about basalt mining and recultivation

August 10, 2024,Premiumweg Sörewald P24– Am Brandt (Parkplatz) Runde
Today I ran the very nice route in summer temperatures.
There is a lot of shade, but if you look at the elevation profile, it got a little damp on the forehead at 27 degrees towards the end 😅

At the end of my vacation I took the Premiumweg 24 Söhrewald under my hiking boots today.

How would you describe the Söhrewald Premium Trail?

This time we had good weather, well, last time the beeches were in full bloom, which was wonderful to see in the many sections with beech forest. Worth mentioning is the …

Still strong windy => there are plenty of views and wind turbines on the P24. Some nice paths and old trees too. My personal highlight - the outer facade of the "Wirtshaus zum Grünen See" and the 350-year-old pedunculate oak.
