A short walk with a decidedly poorly chosen starting point (the planned path began 3 meters below the parking lot).
Quite noisy at times, due to its proximity to the highway.
However, there's a cable ferry across the Niers River and a playground near Neersen Castle.
The return journey followed the Nierssee

"Where are my hiking boots?" asked @LucyOne after arriving at the parking lot near Weiler Castle. We almost always keep our hiking boots in the car; the smell can be a bit off-putting, but better the car stinks than the house. "Do you mean the ones in the basement?" "Yes..." "Then you'll have to wear

In der letzten Zeit habe ich relativ viel vom Baldeneysteig gehört. War ja was skeptisch, weil sehr stadtnah.
Heute war es dann soweit: Der Steig sollte begangen werden.
Eigentlich schon letztes Wochenende, aber da kam ein unerwarteter Arbeitseinsatz dazwischen. Nicht schlimm, da war es eh sonnig. Heute

Another tour thrown together in 10 minutes, this time heading towards Belgium, more precisely to Solwaster. Never heard of it before, and if you ask me about it in two years, I'll probably say, "Sounds familiar, I've heard of it before..." A poor memory, indeed.
From the parking lot, the trail led directly

The day greeted me with a smile: brilliant sunshine.
I enjoyed my coffee and then set off.
Of course, it was uphill first, then directly onto a narrow, well-trodden ridge path with fantastic views. I made my way through the trees, bare due to the season. It's quite possible that in summer you only see

Heute mit gehörigem Respekt vor der geplanten Route von 37 km gestartet. Unsicher, ob ich die wohl vor Einbruch der Dunkelheit schaffen werde.
Aber erstmal los.
Etwas ab vom Weg befindet sich die Nasensteinhöhle. Die wollte ich aber sehen, schon wegen des Namens. Also erstmal da hin. Gefiel mir gut, der

First off: I'm known for being a terrible parker.
This led to an acquaintance once saying, "You park like a woman." The lady present protested, "That can't be true, I don't park that badly!"
Yesterday, I parked perfectly at the RV park (and nobody saw!), opened the door, and promptly stepped in dog poop

I let komoot assign the tour title.
It's fine.
Even though no one was executed.
Nice walk in the snow.
With a snowball fight.
Well, I threw snowballs and got roasted for it.
Luckily, only verbally.
We enjoyed it, quite nice. 😉

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

A steady drizzle, perfect weather to test out my new rain jacket.
I needed to gain some elevation, so I drove roughly to the Nideggen area. I parked somewhere different than in Zerkall this time, and planned a slightly different route than usual—I like a change. Most of the time.
But I put on my new "normal
