My condolences to all train travelers who had to board or change trains in Gießen today. Pure chaos.
The outward journey was almost humane, the journey was delayed "only" by half an hour during the change, with the result that my connecting bus to Argenstein naturally could no longer be reached. With

Today, after a long time, I wanted to see again what nature looks like above Bad Vilbel. It wasn't as far along as I had thought, but with another two or three warm days, the fruit trees and other bushes will be in full bloom. The buds are definitely there already. The wild garlic in the Vilbeler Wald

The weather was a bit mixed today, although the sun did peek out quite nicely in places. That's why I opted for a tour today that I had picked out, so I'd have something for days when no great photo opportunities are expected.
The start was in Liederbach-Niederhofheim and after a short loop through the

It's so nice to get out again after sitting at home for two weeks with a nasty, heavy cold. A short tour at the Bingenheimer Ried was possible today in wonderful weather, and with all the birds in the Ried, my hopes for some beautiful impressions were fully fulfilled. It was fun again and made me want more.

Sunday hike from Bad Vilbel-Gronau, looping around the "Im alten See bei Gronau" nature reserve via Rendel and Klein-Karben to the Karben S-Bahn station in Kloppenheim.
A lot of animals were seen today, even if some were too far away for a decent photo.
Storks, egrets, buzzards, grey herons, hares, cormorants

I took the train and bus to Ortenberg, where I started my hike with a stroll through the pretty little town. From there, I continued downstream along the Nidder River to Konradsdorf Monastery, a constant sight to behold. Unfortunately, due to roadworks, I couldn't continue to Effolderbach as planned

There was definitely a hint of nice weather in the air.
It's definitely worth venturing a bit further afield.
So I took the S-Bahn to Nieder-Wöllstadt, and from there headed to the Nidda meadows in Niederwiesen. There was a lot going on along the way – lots of geese, some storks, deer, hares, herons, and

A lovely Sunday walk along the Nidda river from Bad Vilbel to Dortelweil.

Like 10 days ago, I wanted to see how far nature has progressed above Bad Vilbel.
Many flowers are about to bloom, but it seems a few warm days are still missing.
The sheep herd was already much further along, as a lot of lambs were jumping around.
It was nice again, but unusually warm today.
