On the previous stages of the Riedweg, there had been so many beautiful views OF the Odenwald that a hike IN the Odenwald was absolutely necessary to conclude the colorful hiking days around Easter. The starting point of the small loop was Schlierbach, located below Lindenfels. The history of the place

Die 9. Etappe des Riedwegs wird absolutes Neuland bringen, denn in die Schwetzinger Hardt hatte es uns bisher noch nie verschlagen (sieht man einmal vom Hockenheimring ab, der ja in diesem Waldgebiet liegt). Bei der Planung gab es gleich eine angenehme Überraschung, denn zwischen Start und Ziel verkehrt

The idea for this circular hike was born on our „Hugo“ (Hugenotten- und Waldenserpfad), specifically on the section from Philippstein to Brandoberndorf, which passes the large quarry. So, a loop was planned that would lead around the small town, which belongs to Braunfels, in as wide arcs as possible

This year, the family outing on Easter Sunday led us to the Ungeheursee, a beautiful moor lake in the eastern Palatinate Forest. Deeply embedded in a basin, the lake is surrounded by numerous sagas and legends. The way there led along the so-called Ungeheuersee-Trail, a wonderfully rooted and stony path

The start and end point of this circular route is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Grube Messel. Despite the name, the tour has absolutely nothing to do with Earth history and geology, i.e., there are no themed information boards along the way (except for the timeline path, but that's actually a separate

Die 8. Etappe des Riedwegs führt erneut durch einen bereits bekannten Abschnitt, zudem einen, der zu meinen ganz persönlichen Lieblingsorten in der Mannheimer Gegend gehört, das Naturschutzgebiet Dossenwald.

However, it is more likely that the name Weinberg (vineyard) originates from the old district name Weidenberg (willow mountain); at least

The start of the 7th stage of the Riedweg at the tram stop Platz der Freundschaft was missed by the friendly lady from komoot, and only on the 3rd attempt and a complete reboot was she ready to hit the road – but at least exactly at the moment when the first trail marker appeared… at least…

Unlike the

The Spessrtfährte "Jossgrund-Runde" leads in a wide arc over the heights east of the Jossatal valley above Burgjoß and Oberndorf. The route, which mostly leads over open spaces, allows for magnificent views of the Spessrthöhen heights. Like all Spessartfährten, the route is excellently marked in both

Gefühlt ist es bereits eine Ewigkeit her, seit wir das letzte Mal in Lorsch waren. Zeit also, wieder einmal hierher zu fahren, denn rund um das Weltkulturerbe Kloster Lorsch gibt es immer wieder etwas zu entdecken, so zum Beispiel das Freilichtlabor Lauresham, das wir noch gar nicht kennen. Aber nicht
