"Where are my hiking boots?" asked @LucyOne after arriving at the parking lot near Weiler Castle. We almost always keep our hiking boots in the car; the smell can be a bit off-putting, but better the car stinks than the house. "Do you mean the ones in the basement?" "Yes..." "Then you'll have to wear

Another tour thrown together in 10 minutes, this time heading towards Belgium, more precisely to Solwaster. Never heard of it before, and if you ask me about it in two years, I'll probably say, "Sounds familiar, I've heard of it before..." A poor memory, indeed.
From the parking lot, the trail led directly

I let komoot assign the tour title.
It's fine.
Even though no one was executed.
Nice walk in the snow.
With a snowball fight.
Well, I threw snowballs and got roasted for it.
Luckily, only verbally.
We enjoyed it, quite nice. 😉

We started at Merode Castle today.
Unfortunately, it's not open now; judging by the stalls, there must have been quite a large Christmas market here. No use to us today.
We followed some narrow paths and a lot of groomed track, all wonderfully covered in snow, past a memorial chapel for Matthias, who appeared

Visiting friends in Witten, but first a short walk in the area.
Short distance, so it should be quick.
From the parking lot, we set off directly onto footpaths in the Muttental valley – perfect.
Partly along the mining trail, past coal seams, old shafts, and collieries. With information panels. Nicely done

After stuffing ourselves for the last two days, we thought we'd roll around outside for a bit.
So we headed to our local rolling track.
At first, we had a clear path, but later more and more people had the same idea.
So we all rolled past each other, glad we didn't end up playing pinball with any unintentional

I read the other day that the Ahr Valley Railway has now been fully restored and thought: "I haven't been to the Ahr Valley in ages, I should go again sometime."
I checked: I was last there in May 2021. Two months before the flood disaster.
So I quickly put together a tour starting and ending in Altenahr

The other day I listened to the "Tent Talks" podcast again; this time it was about crimes on hiking trails.
Of course, that meant we had to head out again right away. The colorful sandstone cliffs near Nideggen were on the agenda once more.
We parked in Zerkall and set off in the opposite direction to

Mal wieder das frühmorgentliche "Keine Ahnung wohin", ein bissl geschaut, eine Tour bei Mützenich/Monschau sah ganz gut aus.
28 komma irgendwas km bekomme ich nicht durch, also etwas eingekürzt (auf 20 und ja, einkürzen gibt es auch). Einen mir bekannten Startparkplatz bei Monschau gewählt, Mützenich

A short walk with a decidedly poorly chosen starting point (the planned path began 3 meters below the parking lot).
Quite noisy at times, due to its proximity to the highway.
However, there's a cable ferry across the Niers River and a playground near Neersen Castle.
The return journey followed the Nierssee
