My hike today first took me past a wild boar enclosure. It was quite busy there.
Afterward, I walked past an observatory, and via a lovely path along a slope overlooking the Ruhr meadows, I arrived at the towpath. It's very beautiful here, the path right along

From the trailhead parking lot, I immediately set off through the magnificent winter landscape. The sun was low in the blue sky and shone through the snow-covered trees. The paths were icy in places and very slippery. I was glad I

Just a short walk around my hometown along the Emscher River, through crunchy or slushy snow.
But it's wonderful to be back out in the fresh air.
I hope I'll put in many more kilometers this year.

From the parking area at Wehner Café, I headed straight into the Haardter Forest.
I walked along beautiful, narrow paths through the pine, birch, and beech forest in the freezing cold. It was a very varied hike.
I only took one break because it was bitterly

I parked on the outskirts of Erkrath and, in reasonably dry weather, started my hike uphill, passing the Neanderbad (Neander Bath).
Afterward, I walked through a small village until the Hühnerbach Valley became idyllic for the first time. A mostly pleasant

I started at the small hiking parking lot on the outskirts of Leichlingen.
First, I followed a wider path along the beautiful Schmerbach stream, and then a few stretches of asphalt through several quiet little villages.
I then crossed the Wupper River and continued

I started my hike at the large parking lot in Schwelm.
First, I walked through the town to take in the morning atmosphere. It's quite a nice little town, though the light drizzle was a bit annoying.
The trail then led steadily uphill out of town, along fields and

I started in Niedersprockhövel and was soon surrounded by nature. There were beautiful views of the stunning landscape. Only the rain, which soon accompanied me, was a bit of a nuisance. But it stopped after a short while, and with an umbrella, it wasn't

Today I felt like exploring some unfamiliar territory.
So I planned a circular hike near Hohenlimburg.
I started from Hohenlimburg-Oege and immediately began a gentle uphill climb, so I soon caught a glimpse of Hohenlimburg Castle in the hazy distance.
It's so freezing
