Shady round from Deutsches Eck 🇩🇪🇳🇱 over the Knuppelpad to Rothenbach.
Here we encounter the past with the Iron Rhine 🛤 and a former anti-tank ditch.
We continue walking past the golf course back to the Dahlheim mill.
The path only leads through the forest.🌲🌳🌿🍂

May 12, 2025,Eine Runde im Nationaal Park De Meinweg ab Dalheim Bf

We met at Düsseldorf Central Station to travel to Dalheim together. In De Meinweg National Park, @Hatti wanted to go for a walk with us.

I'll sing: Oh, what a beautiful day, this day!!

The weather was perfect! The small hiking group of seven familiar and unfamiliar faces was totally compatible! The hike was beautiful, as was the coffee break.

June 8, 2023,Nationaal Park De Meinweg Runde von Dalheim

Today's tour runs through National Park De Meinweg. We walk over many narrow and lonely forest paths and past numerous water points, perfect for dogs in warm weather. :) Although you can't cross the boardwalk with a dog, there is a path around it that is also very nice.
