Visiting friends in Witten, but first a short walk in the area.
Short distance, so it should be quick.
From the parking lot, we set off directly onto footpaths in the Muttental valley – perfect.
Partly along the mining trail, past coal seams, old shafts, and collieries. With information panels. Nicely done

After stuffing ourselves for the last two days, we thought we'd roll around outside for a bit.
So we headed to our local rolling track.
At first, we had a clear path, but later more and more people had the same idea.
So we all rolled past each other, glad we didn't end up playing pinball with any unintentional

I read the other day that the Ahr Valley Railway has now been fully restored and thought: "I haven't been to the Ahr Valley in ages, I should go again sometime."
I checked: I was last there in May 2021. Two months before the flood disaster.
So I quickly put together a tour starting and ending in Altenahr

The other day I listened to the "Tent Talks" podcast again; this time it was about crimes on hiking trails.
Of course, that meant we had to head out again right away. The colorful sandstone cliffs near Nideggen were on the agenda once more.
We parked in Zerkall and set off in the opposite direction to

Mal wieder das frühmorgentliche "Keine Ahnung wohin", ein bissl geschaut, eine Tour bei Mützenich/Monschau sah ganz gut aus.
28 komma irgendwas km bekomme ich nicht durch, also etwas eingekürzt (auf 20 und ja, einkürzen gibt es auch). Einen mir bekannten Startparkplatz bei Monschau gewählt, Mützenich

Last hike of the weekend. About 20km were planned.
First, I went to the trailhead parking lot and set off. Light drizzle. I'd forgotten my umbrella. It was going to rain harder later. So, I put on my rain jacket and pants, which worked out.
I headed straight uphill at a moderate pace, with nice views into

Time and space for a longer hike again.
I looked around for a good route and came across the Hönne Trail, which looked promising. It featured the Seven Virgins and caves. At 7 km, it was much too short. So, I extended the route a bit and included Lake Sorpe. I haven't been there yet either.
I parked in

"There are red hedges on the Heimbach Jungle Trail, I want to see them!" "Jungle Trail? Never heard of it, let's have a look..."
I googled it: It turned out to be a circular route around the Heimbach reservoir. Strange, I've actually walked that route several times before. No idea what the Jungle Trail

We started at Merode Castle today.
Unfortunately, it's not open now; judging by the stalls, there must have been quite a large Christmas market here. No use to us today.
We followed some narrow paths and a lot of groomed track, all wonderfully covered in snow, past a memorial chapel for Matthias, who appeared
