A heartfelt thank you to @RobertO for this great hiking day.
And also thanks to the extremely cheerful group.
Despite a bit of rain and wind, we had a huge amount of fun again.
You are the best.
And it was nice to have met two guests from Bornheim, although @JakobusPilger has been with us more often before

"Don't Stop Me Now" was the song I chose exactly three months ago to start the stage hike on the Kölner Weg. Today I was taught a lesson. A herd of wild boars with piglets apparently had a problem with hikers who are out early and were milling about on a narrow, densely overgrown path leading from the

Until now, I only knew the bridge from the car, especially in the South - North direction, an impressive view of the Moselle

The idiom "da ist der Wurm drin" (literally "the worm is in it") is known to everyone and means that something is wrong with a thing, problems are occurring, or an undertaking repeatedly fails despite attempts. This was absolutely not the case today. Quite the opposite, we were able to experience a wonderful

Yellow makes you happy and symbolizes optimism, joy, and good spirits, it is said. When you wander through forests and meadows in spring, you can only confirm this; dandelions, broom, and buttercups (to name a few) are currently really standing out. Since many insects orient themselves by the bright

It continues through an extensive forest area to the Wahnbach and finally to the entrance

"What is gone is gone" - Paragraph 4 of the Cologne Basic Law is often applied and means something like "Don't lament things and don't mourn for things long forgotten". However, Cologne wouldn't be Cologne if there weren't many stories about their whereabouts. A reason for us to go on a search.

Hachenburg is not called the "Pearl of the Westerwald" for nothing and was named one of the most charming and beautiful old towns in Germany by Stern magazine. Whether it is the most beautiful is ultimately a matter of taste, but it is undoubtedly one of the highlights on the Kölner Weg.
