Monreal, Löwenburg und Philippsburg
Monreal ist ein kleines idyllisches Eifeldörfchen an der Elz. Zwei Burgruinen liegen nahe bei. Erst habe ich die Löwenburgruine bestiegen. Hier schöne Aussicht auf Monreal. Dann auf die Philippsburgruine.

From what I can see, the path to the castles is easy to walk; I had imagined many more steep inclines, narrow paths, and precipices. But I don't see any of that here. So: I'll secure it and hike it in the spring.
Monreal is a charming, picture-perfect little town.

Mayen, Grubenfeld
In der vulkanischen Osteifel, nur zehn Minuten vom Bahnhof Mayen-Ost entfernt, gibts ein Grubenfeld mit alten Steinbrüchen. Man kann dort überall rumlaufen und sich alte Basaltabbaugebiete und die Reste der alten Kräne, Gleise etc. ansehen. Das Naturschutzgebiet Mayener Grubenfeld ist auch Lebensraum für viele Fledermausarten. Auch gehört ein Skulpturenpark zum…

The mining area is fascinating; I'd like to check it out sometime. Mayen and Monreal are close together, so you could easily visit them in one go, unless you're planning on spending hours just passing the time. That's often what I do when something interesting is happening.

Saffenburg, Ahr
Nochmal das Novemberwetter ausnutzen und zur Ahr. Zug bis Ahrweiler, SEV-Bus bis Dernau, Kleinbus bis Mayschoss. In der DB-App wird nicht darauf hingewiesen, dass man wegen Bauarbeiten in Dernau umsteigen muss. Macht man das nicht, ist der nächste Halt mit dem großen Bus Altenahr.
Wanderung von Mayschoss zur Saffenburg. Von…

Von Kobern-Gondorf Bahnhof nach Niederburg
Bei meiner gestrigen Tour an die Mosel sah ich aus dem Zug-Fenster eine Burg bei Kobern-Gondorf. Die wollte ich mir mal genauer ansehen. Also heute noch mal an die Mosel. Vom Bahnhof aus ist man in ca. 30 Minuten erst mal an einem Glockenturm, hierzu muss man einen ganz kleinen…

Calmont Klettersteig, Ediger-Eller über Bremm bis Neef
Per Bahn bis Ediger-Eller. Hinter der Bahnstrecke beginnt direkt der Calmonter Klettersteig. Es ist fast alles gut abgesichert. Schwindelfrei sollte man schon sein und im Fels öfters die Hände benutzen. Schöne Aussichten, besonders auf die Bremmer Mosel-Schleife mit der Klosterruine. Oft geht man unter den Zahnstangen der Monorackbahnen durch. Der…

Wow, you're really brave! In photo 14 you can clearly see how steep it is, both up and down. That's pretty intense, and I admire anyone who has conquered the Calmont trail. I'd prefer a walk along the Rhine below. 😇

It's beautiful there, isn't it? This hike will stay with me for a long time. I always say: where a river flows and the vines grow, it's so beautiful it's almost indescribable. I really enjoyed it there recently too, although we skipped the Stahlberg castle ruins.

The Magic Colors tour by @Ingrid77 and @Michael🌻 (thanks for suggesting the hike) from the day before yesterday immediately inspired me to follow it. The colors are absolutely stunning.
I had a lot of sunshine, only during the hike through the forest was it heavily overcast. Afterwards, I took the bus

I liked yesterday's photos from @Gaby (thanks for the tip) so much that I wanted to see them myself. However, I limited myself to a quick visit to the flowering strip by the cornfield. Today, the view towards Cologne Cathedral is worse than yesterday. The photos are somehow jumbled up. I took the 427

The train has recently started running again on the Ahr route, and now even with overhead lines. However, the cycle path along the route is far from complete. In Kreuzberg, I noticed a castle on a hill. In the past, castles were probably built at higher altitudes. This castle is probably an exception
