June 9, 2024,Tour 5: Unterwegs in Lanstrop

A tour from the book Hiking for the Soul Ruhrgebiet. I can't do Lanstrop and I certainly can't do the "EI" a beautiful route, varied and with a great view "in good weather" from the Ei to the Westfalenpark in Dortmund 🖤💛 at the end a short stop at the Gasthof Mowwe is done😊

For today's Monday tour with Ralf, I once again chose a tour from the book: "Hiking for the soul in the Ruhr area".
Neither of us had gone hiking in the corner yet and were therefore able to explore a new, beautiful area.👌🙂🥾🌞

Hiking for the soul Ruhr area by Sabine Hauke

ISBN 978-3-7700-2061-4

For your information: wear waterproof hiking boots for the last "300 m" 🥾🥾 or, even better, rubber boots!
