Not a loop this time, but a linear hike instead. That's rare for us, but it does happen. Like this time, when we wanted to hike from Lohr am Main via the Schönrain ruins to Gemünden.
We started at Lohr train station, which we already knew from the Snow White Trail. The first 4 km or so are pleasantly

When you hear in a podcast that cross-country skiing is almost like hiking in the snow, and that you don't even necessarily need special equipment, but can use your hiking clothes, then it definitely sounds like something you have to try.
Last winter, there wasn't a single opportunity. So when it became

Even though I absolutely hate snow in the city, this hiking day was going to be a real snowshoe hike. We chose the Deister hills, which seemed pretty reliable for snow. So we took the train and the S-Bahn to Egestorf and started our hike right from the station. We were already ankle-deep in snow there

First of all: "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" to you all!
We cut this hike short at the beginning of April 2024 because my body suddenly decided it was over.
Today we tackled it again as a warm-up for the 2026 hiking season.
From the parking lot, a signpost for the Bärenkopf route led us directly onto the right path

First off: The hike was 16.5 km long, not 14.9 km as stated above. I forgot to restart my watch twice. Hence the discrepancy.
We've encountered the Ahornweg (Maple Trail) so many times on hikes in the region, but it was always clear: we had to hike the whole thing sometime.
So today we started. We began

Today we needed a short tour, and since the Pott-Express train makes several stops along the way, it dropped us off near Oelde.
Among other things, we were headed to the "Geisterholz" (Ghost Wood) forest, which I'd heard about somewhere before.
Leaving the town, we followed a pretty avenue and passed the

We're planning to hike the Lipperlandweg trail in 2026.
So today we went to the area to have a look around.
We started in Schieder, from where we walked through the village for a bit before heading into the forest.
The climb to the Kahlenberg Tower is tough, but I'd already hiked it four years ago, so I

After a long break due to moving, we finally got back on the trails today, this time near Büren, the gateway to the Sauerland region. This was clearly reflected in the landscape and the trails.
We started at the Forstweg Ringelstein hiking parking lot.
There, we first checked out the former signal box

Man lernt ja so viel beim Wandern!
Bei dieser Tour habe ich zB gelernt, dass es "Hoechst" als Chemieunternehmen gibt bzw gab, ein Stadtteil von Frankfurt heißt wiederum "Höchst" und ein solches "Höchst" gibt es im Odenwald gleich nochmal.
Los ging es am Bahnhof von Höchst. Die Wanderung stammt aus den

Today, it had to be a short hike once again. Since I had received an inquiry about Reesberg and the ghost stories surrounding it, we started a short tour there and walked to Doberg near Bünde.
At first, the path led through a lovely forest and along a small gorge. The great weather hadn't been forecast
