May 1, 2025,Zum wilden Wasser der Luhe

Sun, fluffy clouds, and the thriving natural landscape beckon new adventurers. Today, we're hiking a bit along the wild waters of the Luhe River 😉. A very beautiful tour with mixed trail conditions. We particularly enjoyed the Luhe River. There are no places to stop for refreshments on this tour, however. Nevertheless, it's a highly recommended hike.

A beautiful hike
through idyllic nature, partly along the Luhe. The tour went from Vierhöfen via Schnede back to Vierhöfen. As always, we deviated from the planned tour here and there and discovered some beautiful paths and places. And of course the weather played its part in making this tour so beautiful ☀️😊
