At the end of our tour through Wales and on the way to Birmingham Airport, we visited Warwick Castle. The castle is larger and better preserved than the previous ones on our tour, but also very crowded and everyone expects full entertainment for the whole day. Those interested in the history of Richard

In the 11th century, there were many fortifications in the borderland between the Normans and the Welsh. The 3 Castles Crosmont, Skenfrith and White Castle are now connected by a 30-kilometer hiking trail. We managed White Castle on the last day of our holiday. The name White Castle dates back to the

The start and end of our hike today was Oxwich. The reason was that one could go swimming right away at 32 degrees. The weather is very un-welsh. The path today was a bit more complicated and future generations who follow us on Komoot will be able to rate it. In any case, there were many closed and marked

today there was 💯 nature. We were out in Brecon Beacons National Park looking for waterfalls. Waterfall is called Sgwd in Welsh and since the Welsh don't have vowels, I wrote down all 8

From afar, you can see one of Wales's 🏴 most spectacular and well-known castles. The current ruin stands on a 100-meter-high limestone cliff and probably dates back to the late 12th century. The castle 🏰 became a ruin 🏚️ in 1462 when 500 paid workers destroyed it with crowbars and pickaxes

On the way to the new quarter in Aberdare, I quickly visited Dinefwr Castle. I couldn't find a parking space 🅿️ in Llandeilo and therefore drove a little closer to the ruin. Already from afar, I saw the fortress enthroned on an elevation above the river. In the 12th century, under Rhys ap Gruffydd

actually we wanted to hike today in the 2nd round of Marloes on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to Wooltack Point 🥾. We had already done a tour in the morning, so we decided after a few meters. Bathing or swimming 🏊♂️ in the Irish Sea and then visiting a cafe.
Everything done right 👍👍.

today we were out and about in Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The start and end of the tour were the colorful lily ponds. In the morning the flowers 🌼 were still closed and in the afternoon everything was yellow. Also interesting are the wooden 🪵 walkways over the water and especially the Eight

On Pen Caer there is nothing going on and a long, rocky ridge with old forts determines the beginning of the hike. Fort Garn Fawr is located on a hill and you have to climb it first. The magnificent panoramic view rewards the effort of the ascent. It continues to the church of Llanwnda. Six early Christian

Aberystwyth is a flat-lying town, but has a mountain ⛰️ on its doorstep with a crisp and steep ascent. From the top of the mountain and the Wellington Monument, there is a beautiful panoramic view.

Today we were out and about in the Ystwyth Valley. I can't pronounce the Welsh river names, but it was a beautiful tour nonetheless. Laid out as early as the late 18th century, the region was a popular destination for wealthy tourists of the Romantic movement.
The network of paths, which has now been

We travelled to and from our hike today with the "The Vale of Rheidol Railway". For an hour, we travelled on a steam-powered narrow-gauge railway to Devil's Bridge. On site, we walked the Nature Trail to various waterfalls.

on the way to the new quarter on our round trip through Wales 🏴 ( hiking 🥾 and castles 🏰 ) we looked at Castle Harlech. The castle is undoubtedly a highlight on the Cambrian coast.
It was built from 1283-1295 and, despite many sieges, was never taken.
Today, Castle Harlech is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Following tradition, we were again in Effelder this year. The start was again at the sports field and then, as is typical for Effelder, it went straight steeply downhill. Sections of the Kanonenbahn were crossed again and again, and the spire of the "Dom" was always clearly visible. The cake 🍰 buffet
