Today's project was complex and nearly derailed by technical and human shortcomings. I'd found a bus connection for the Lützbachweg trail, from its source to Lütz, that only runs once a week at midday for schoolchildren, taking 38 minutes non-stop. Otherwise, with several transfers, the journey can take

Die Kirschweiler Festung gehört zu den Orten, wenn man sich ihrer erinnert, die man eigentlich sofort wieder besuchen möchte. Also ging es heute auf eine kurze Runde zu dieser und den Rosselhalden des Ringkopf.

Today I went on another exploration tour near Breitscheid, where numerous paths are still unmarked.

The castle ruins on Wildburg Hill are practically invisible in summer, so you have to struggle along the rough trails in winter. But then you can admire the full splendor of the steeply rising cliffs and the stonework of the keep.

After a wild mating ritual and deadly territorial battles in the spring of 2025, the last hedgehog was seen in our garden in July 2025. Since then, the cameras have only been triggered by a busy mouse. But on Friday night, a large hedgehog took up residence in one of the hedgehog houses we'd prepared
