We park at the Zeche Recklinghausen II, walk through the park there, over the Drachenbrücke and in serpentines up to the Halde Hoheward. We are greeted by the obelisk, which, along with the surrounding area, functions as a sundial. The time is displayed precisely. The views of the countryside are great

In Wuppertal the fog was still hanging around, and with an economical electric car, you can drive a bit further for a dog walk.
So we got some exercise with great views.
At the end, we walked through "Emscher Strasse" (an old miners' settlement) with interesting architecture.

Halde Schwerin (mit Sonnenuhr)
Der Weg führt überwiegend durch Wald. Der Abstecher zum Schloss Bodelschwingh lohnt derzeit nicht, da es wegen Restaurierung komplett eingepackt ist (aber nicht so schön wie von "Christo").
Ende der Arbeiten evtl. 2027.

A very nice round. Lots through forest; in the first forest section very old oaks, beeches and maples with partly unusual growth forms.
The detour to Bodelschwingh Castle was in vain due to construction work. The family's mausoleum (with various gravestones) is unfortunately not accessible.

Die Tour ist landschaftlich sehr reizvoll und entspricht meist dem Rundweg "Schlossblick".

A beautiful and relaxed round from Langst-Kierst (ferry to Kaiserswerth) along the Rhine and across the fields with a view of the Ilverich old Rhine loop. The parking lot at the ferry is of course packed on a Sunday, but there is a free parking lot a few hundred meters before, where you can always find

Before the journey home, a pretty short hike with a penitential cross/view of Hambach Castle and Hohe Loog (with PWV hut).
PS: Yes, the last photo is thought-provoking in this very hot summer...

Very beautiful and varied hike for the eyes, feet, and legs.
We started at the Forsthaus Beckenhof: large parking lot and camper van parking. And at the end, a well-deserved drink in the beer garden 😃.

The route comes from the book "Hiking for the Soul".
Scenically beautiful tour with views; because it goes up and down the north slope, it is also pleasant in warm weather.

The "Trifterlebnis-Weg" originates from the book "Wandern für die Seele".
It is pleasant to walk (even at higher temperatures) because it leads almost exclusively through the forest.
The explanations about timber rafting are short and informative. A little more detailed, but not boring, there are short

As soon as we parked the car, we arrived at Spangenberg Castle, whose restaurant is open Fri, Sat, Sun from 11 am. A volunteer member of the association was already on site, so he unlocked the castle and cellar for us. The window picture of the leather bridge (based on a legend) is very detailed.

We park at the edge of the forest at an electric charging station because we need to "recharge".
We first go through the Haard, the smallest low mountain range in Germany, which also belongs to the Hohe-Mark. I have already cycled 4 stages there (see collection).
Over the Stimberg (157m) we continue through
