There were so many experiences/events on this tour that I could almost write half a novel.
But I want to tell you about them, maybe some of you will enjoy reading them.
There were annoying, painful and, well, let's say funny things.
The annoying thing, how could it be otherwise, was our German Federal Railways

A nice little hike, mainly through fields and meadows.
Most of this stage leads over the Hennef dike to above Stossdorf.
The Buisdorf weir was quite impressive and on the warm day some people refreshed themselves with a swim in the Sieg, below the weir.

I have to explain something about this tour, because Stefan and I certainly did not hike the 223 km and the total time of around 28 hours shown in Komoot.

From there it was

The stage was actually quite nice to walk, initially through the forest and later mostly on a paved cycle and hiking path, always directly along the Sieg.
Unfortunately there was also a stretch of country road from Hoppengarten to Röcklingen, but it wasn't too long.
I wouldn't recommend the route I took

I really enjoyed this stage, with lots of beautiful impressions and, above all, with mostly decent paths.
From the start, we walked a long way along a rather adventurous forest path (very muddy in places and fallen trees that required gymnastic "top performances" :) along the Sieg, then later through

Komoot has once again missed a few kilometers.
