About Wanderwilli
Schon ab Herbst 1977 folgte ich etlichen Tourenvorschlägen von Paul Ehrig. Meine Wanderungen wurden weniger, als sich nacheinander unsere drei Kinder einfanden. Trotzdem kamen zwischen 1977 und 1986 ca. 300 km Wanderstrecke zusammen. Nicht zu vergessen die Kletter-Wanderung im Zahmen und im Wilden Kaiser, die Touren im Ötztal und in den Pyrenäen einschl. einiger Höhlen. Seit 2011 habe ich mittels Excel Buch geführt und bin jetzt bei über 4.100 km. Hinzu kommen unzählige Kilometer in der Zeit zwischen 1986 und 2011. Das meiste davon bin ich in Gesellschaft meines geliebten Weibes im Odenwald abgeschritten.
Einige Etappen auf dem Rheinsteig habe ich absolviert. Seit Neuestem ist die Eifel in den Blickpunkt gerückt, weil unsere Töchter dort leben.
Bislang abgeschlossene Projekte sind:
1. Darmstadt-Mömlingen, HW 8
2. westl. Limesweg (Odenwaldlimes), HW 29
3. Einhardweg Michelstadt-Seligenstadt
4. Kultur und Technik, Offenbach/Main-Eppingen, HW 19
5. Blütenweg, Darmstadt-Wiesloch, HW 3
6. Mossautaler Drachenweg (alte Fassung, 51,4 km)
7. Marathonweg (rund um Bad König) (alte Fassung, 42 km)
8. Jugenheim-Laudenbach, HW 16
9. Alemannenweg
10. Nibelungensteig
11. Rhein-Main-Weg (Stockstadt/Rhein-Obernburg), HW 10
12. Mossautaler Drachenwege MD 1-4
13. Von der Odenwälder Weininsel (Groß-Umstadt) bis ins Kraichgau (Reichartshausen) HW 23
Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen: der Odenwald ist reizvoll und schön. Und der Reiz und die Schönheit der anderen Regionen warten weiterhin auf Entdeckung.
Übrigens: Der Wahlspruch bzw. Schlachtruf aus meiner Zeit in der Ev. Jugendgruppe in Wattenbek/Bordesholm lautete: "Mutig voran!" Nun denn, es ist Zeit. Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann?

Today was a very foggy day, but that was no reason to stay on the couch. We chose a circular route starting from the Bettelmannsbuche nature park parking area, although it's no longer signposted. As is often the case with such plans, the path was partially indistinguishable; we simply extended the loop

The late autumn forest is always a beautiful experience; it's damp and still. Today, the blue of the sky contrasted particularly well with the green meadows and the reddish-brown hues of the fallen autumn leaves. The moments spent enjoying the wonderful views make you forget about "other things." Or

We got our first taste of winter today. The first snow is always something special 😊.

What could be better than combining business with pleasure? First, enjoy the sun, meadows, and woods, then do some shopping. Michelstadt offers all of this! And even at this late time of year, blooming flowers gladden the heart. Our buddleia hasn't completely finished blooming yet; just this morning

An afternoon stroll with a view of the sun terrace. Here you can enjoy the sunshine even late into the afternoon. We took the path back through the autumnal forest.

This suggested route comes from the Top. Map 1:20,000 No. 3 from the year 2000. Trail Ha 5 still exists, but now follows a different route. Nevertheless, this path is very pleasant to walk; it's the perfect starting point for a lovely afternoon stroll. A bit of village, a bit of forest.

The Sea of Rocks – it's been part of our hiking itinerary for years, and it's a real highlight, especially with children! It was very busy again today. For the first time, we were redirected by security guards to an external parking lot (a nearby company site) because the parking spaces were exhausted

The forest adventure trail lives up to its name. Hikers are treated to beautiful distant views of the Frankfurt skyline against the backdrop of the Taunus mountains on one side and the Odenwald heights with the Otzberg mountain in the foreground on the other. Furthermore, today the autumn sun cast beams

Lindenfels is always an experience. First, we took a steep hike through nature, part of it on the insect trail. Then we moved on to the culture, of which Lindenfels has a lot to offer.
We explored the castle complex extensively and finally headed straight back to the car.
The surprise of the day was that

Roughly a third forest, the larger part open countryside... that's how our pre-Christmas hike today unfolded. The sun was reluctant to break through the frost after a night of frost, and the initially brisk wind wasn't exactly pleasant, but it gradually became milder.
The circular route is highly recommended
