Today – unlike Tuesday – we had a men's hike in beautiful weather. The ladies had left us again. Frank and Jürgen joined us.
We took the S8 to Gerresheim and the U73 to the town hall.
The first 750 meters were on side streets and through a small park in Gerresheim. Then we continued on narrow nature trails

Another local hike today. A guys' trip only. The girls didn't have time.
Start in Haan, Zwengenberger Strasse.
Easily accessible by bus.
From the bus stop, it's less than 50 meters to the green Haaner Bach valley. We follow the valley to the Heidberger Mill – from here along the Itter River. We briefly

Jürgen and I met up today for a snowshoe hike. We took the train from Hochdahl to Ennepetal. Since both trains were delayed, we made our connection without any problems 😊
We had to adjust our planned route in three places because either the path was blocked by fallen trees, or the powder snow was piled

Today, for our year-end hike, there were six of us.
We took the train from Hochdahl to Hösel. Connections worked perfectly.
From the train station, we walked briefly along the access road and immediately entered the beautiful winter forest. We then hiked 1.5 km on various paths, some wider, some quite

Jürgen and I offered the TSV (sports club) the tour we had already hiked in May.
There were only six of us today. A pity.
The weather was dry, and the sun even came out around midday. Some of the paths were slippery and muddy due to yesterday's rain.
Took the S8 train from Hochdahl to Gruiten.

Since the weather forecast is changing hourly, sometimes rain, sometimes not, we decided to do a hike nearby, on familiar paths. If it really does rain all the way through, we can always turn back. 😊 At least it's dry this morning.
We took the bus to Salzmannstrasse. Crossed the street and headed straight

Take the S8 to Schwelm-West. Bernd and Jürgen are with us.
From the train station, head straight uphill. First, 350 meters through the industrial area, then across the cemetery and another 300 meters through a residential area. From then on, it's all beautiful, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, natural

We wanted to hike from Schwelm-West to Beyenburg, but since it had rained heavily yesterday and was expected to rain today, we did a flat hike near our door.
We took the bus from Haan and Hochdahl to Karnaper Strasse. Martina and Jürgen are hiking with me today.
From the bus stop, we head straight into

Today, the four of us – Martina, Bernd, and Jürgen – hiked together. I adapted the longer tour from February 5th for the TSV's more leisurely walkers and those who prefer a more relaxed pace. We pre-hiked these routes today. The leisurely tour starts at Staufenplatz and is 12 km long, while the shorter
