A good idea to build these great nesting boxes from old tree trunks. The birds are happy.

So far I've only scratched it in winter, there are a few narrow rocky bottlenecks, so pushing was the order of the day. Looks different in summer or when dry withered, nice to bike 😃

A short but sweet hike today in the Lahn Valley in Cramberg, between Balduinstein and Laurenburg:

From Cramberg, the trail descends in beautiful switchbacks to the Lahn River. There, we spotted a narrow, wild riverside path on the other side of the paved road, so we turned back and crossed the Lahn bridge.

Very nice round from Cramberg, up and down the greatest paths down to the Lahn and up again via the Heinzelmännchentreppe and a serpentine path👌
Thank you "Typical Westerwald" for the template for the round 😊
