Nice little round first through the fields, then through a forest. Very close way with many blackberries and brenessels. Many fallen trees but you come across great. Later then again a fortified way

The weather gods were kind to us 😀 Perfect hiking weather ☀️ However, some of the paths were very muddy and a tree thought it would block our way. ☕u 🧁 in the restaurant "Aunt Amanda" were also delicious

After a nice family weekend (my parents' iron wedding anniversary), I took my brother and his family back to the train station at noon today and needed a breath of fresh air. So I stayed directly in Dortmund.
I had seen this route on Meet5 some time ago and saved it immediately. A nice and relaxed green route through forest …

Week 15 and our 15th tour together in 2025

Right from the start, we quickly realized we were dressed far too warmly – the weather was much milder than expected. The varied route offered magnificent views of the Dortmund skyline as well as a quiet, rural …

October 13, 2022,BodelSchwing(h)!
I've always wondered why the suburb is called Bodelschwingh, now I know 😅.
That was a very fun little round. We also visited the old countesses and counts. But they weren't really talkative. Anyway, they just don't know what they're missing. 🤷‍♀️

Surprisingly enjoyable, colorful Sunday tour of the dead through the rural northwest of Dortmund.
We crossed the A45 4 times, otherwise forests (be careful, very muddy), fields, views, the Bodelwickelh castle park and a mausoleum in the forest (appropriate for the day).
Not only a lot of 🐩🐕🐕‍🦺, but also 🐴 are taken for a walk here. A hiking group …

I got this tour from @Juanita, but I couldn't find the name of the trail.
Half of the trail is forest trails, the other half is dirt roads or back roads.
Those following should turn left at Aunt Amanda's: Crossing the trail twice and taking the connecting road are of no use.
