This was quite rich in sights. Three picturesque lakes between Baden-Baden and Yburg, including the Waldenecksee with the visible traces of the 2023 rock slide. Yburg itself was a bit of a letdown (the ruin itself is closed, at least currently). The descent from Yburg down to Neuweier was quite demanding

I thought this would be a half-urban walk (after all, we're pretty close to the Ruhr agglomeration), but it turned out to be a rather rustic (in many places), varied and not-too-easy hike, with some steep trails (actually MTB trails) where the grip of my soles found some good use.

Elane (the goth band) has been hyping the Sauerland, so once I had a reason to visit Westphalia, I decided to check out :)
This is not the Black Forest; if there are really wild places around here, I have yet to find them. Most of the towns are a combination of modernity and tradition, which can be interesting

This was mostly following the "Saumweg". Not a lot of altitude here (barely over 300m over sea level), but you can tell how you're slowly, gradually entering the Black Forest. Almost all of the trail was easy except for one little segment just south of Waldprechtsweier, which could have easily been bypassed

This was a combination of a rather picturesque mountain hike with a much less exciting walk through town (targeting a restaurant).
The Starzlachklamm (the mountain gorge we descended through) is open in the warmer half of the year and has a 5€ entry fee (despite the sign saying 4€). Part of it was somewhat

This was a circular walk, but the first bit is missing from the GPS track.

No wild places today, just a lot of beautiful park trails and the occasional runestone. The walk around (the eastern shore of) Vallentunasjön was the obvious highlight, but even the commie blocks here (I started the hike in Roslags Näsby since the 676 bus I was planning to take was cancelled) had some cozy woods around them.
