From Wengern, the tour led through the Gederner and Bommeraner Ruhrauen to the Muttental. 🥾🌿



Along the way were the Nachtigall colliery, Hardenstein Castle ruins, the miners' prayer house, and Steinhausen Castle with its impressive Shona Art sculptures. 🏰⛏️🎨



There is also news on the stork front: the

Yesterday, a birdwatching colleague tipped me off to stop by the Röllingwiese birdwatching station in Schwerte-Westhofen. No sooner said than done - and the detour was really worth it.



Already on the way to Röllingwiese, a red kite was circling over the Wengeraner Ruhrauen - so the birdwatching practically

Stubenhocker-Nachwuchs 🪺

Von Aufbruchstimmung ist bei den beiden Jungstörchen in den Bommeraner Ruhrauen weiterhin wenig zu spüren. Während der NAWIT fleißige Flattersprünge und den baldigen ersten Ausflug ankündigt, zeigten sich die beiden heute eher nach dem Motto: Warum fliegen, wenn das Hotel Mama so gemütlich ist? 😄

I waited at the nest for a long time, but there was no sign of flight exercises or any other preparations for independence. The two young storks sat very calmly - almost demonstratively relaxed - in the nest and watched their parents, who were foraging for food not far away in the Ruhrauen.

Before the next heatwave knocks, we quickly laced up our hiking boots again ☀️ and hiked over two of our four local mountains: the Höstreich and the Böllberg. It started in the historic town center of Wengern. If you are coming from outside, it is best to start at the hiking parking lot in front of the

This hike is definitely one of our top recommendations in our home region. Absolutely varied: many paths, great views, and tons of "simply beautiful" moments 😍🌄

Even the starting point is special: From the data center in Volmarstein, you have a fantastic view far into the northern Ruhr area 👀✨

At least whenever I am at the observation post, the two young storks stick to the nest as if nailed down. I was also able to observe both parents today: Mama Stork seems to have allied herself with the herons - as on the last tours. Papa Stork circled over the nest the whole time, but just didn't want

After the last hot and humid days, it was almost refreshing today. A light breeze was blowing, and the humidity was slowly being driven out of the area. And when you add so much forest time at your local Böllberg, all the better 😎

It was time for a stork update from the Bommeraner Ruhrauen again. 🪽



The little ones have grown quite big by now - whether they are already close to fledging, however, I could not observe today. 👀



But there was another beautiful scene: Mama Stork had been "chatting" with Hugo Heron for quite a while. 🦩💬

On the way back from our short holiday destination in Hachen am Sorpesee, we paid a visit to the Wildwald Vosswinkel - which is also free once with the RUHR.TOPCARD.



The Wildwald is located in Arnsberg-Voßwinkel, in the middle of the partly primeval Lüerwald forest. The area covers around 680 hectares

The "Blue Lagoon" at the Asbeck quarry near Eisborn (near Sundern am Sorpesee) shimmered turquoise-green today - the color of the water changes depending on the light, sediment, and surroundings. It continued - partly quite adventurous over narrow, overgrown paths - to Asbeck and then up to the Ebberg
