Today was the last sporty TSV tour in the 1st third. Frank and I were the hiking guides. In total, despite the beautiful weather and a tour on our doorstep, there were only 7 hikers.
Start at Hochdahl train station. A good 900 meters along the road, past the old silk mill - now condominiums, until a nature

The group of sporty hikers was well attended today with 12 hikers. Martina and Gudrun led us.
It started off well. S8 is cancelled, and S9 also arrived much later. 10 hikers leave the train in Aprath - 2 are missing 😄 - they forgot to get off during a nice conversation. Since the opposite direction also

Today a hike for the leisurely group. Martina and I led the group. In total we were 11 hikers.
With SEV to Vohwinkel and from there by bus to SG-Wasserturm.
Directly at the bus stop stands the old Walder water tower. It is from 1891. Was converted to its current state in 1913/14. Decommissioned in 1982

@Keith (a.k.a. "Statler") did a tour in the area at the beginning of February and inspired me to go there again. Today, four of us as an all-male group with Bernd, Frank, and Jürgen on a tour. By car to the large parking lot at Wildpark Tannenbusch. From the parking lot first to the GEO Park, very informative

Despite the strike, we ventured out on the hike to Schwelm-West. The WUPSI app indicated that the 626 bus from Beyenburg was running, but the 616 wasn't. So, we took the S8 to Schwelm-West. Jürgen and I led the hike – a total of eight of us. A good mix – four women and four men. Rain wasn't forecast

Today, in sunny weather – 4 degrees in the morning, 17 at midday – the four of us set out. Since we hadn't been to Burg and the surrounding area for a while, we chose a challenging hike. Martina, Bernd, and Jürgen were with us, ranging in age from their late 60s to their early 80s.
We started at the hiking

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

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

Today's tour starts well. After planning without SEV, now with SEV after all. From Hochdahl by BUS to the Wuppertaler Stadthalle, from there 8 minutes to the bus station and with bus 645 to the endpoint. Instead of 45 min, now 1:30 hrs. ☹️ Exit Obere Vogelsangstrasse. Here the GPS signal didn't want
