We took advantage of the morning sunshine ☀️ for an extended round in Zwillbrocker Venn. We went on fine forest paths through the wonderful nature 🌿🌿. At many waypoints, we simply had to stop and look 🦋🌱🌿, listen 🐦‍⬛🐝, and enjoy 😌. We extended the actual circular route with a visit to the biological

A weekend with my best friend in Winterswijk (this is my birthday and Christmas present to her). I booked the Oldschool Hotel again, this time the suite with sauna (if you're going to do it, do it right...). After arriving, we were served a free coffee in the bistro (the former gymnasium) 🥰, probably

On the way home to the "Pott", we once turned off the A44 and were in Bad Sassendorf in no time (my extended childhood home). Quite a lot has changed. We marched along the salt works, through the spa park 🌷🌺🪷 and into the village. A lot of older people and rehab patients 👩🏼‍🦯‍➡️🧑🏼‍🦯‍➡️ strolled

We drove towards Worbis to hike another TOP trail there. And it was worth it again 😀. We could park at the entrance to the bear park 🐻, the parking lot was also frequented by families today. Initially, we walked past many information boards about animal and species protection. It steadily went uphill

While we were still having breakfast ☕️🍯🥐🧀, it was raining 🌧️. But in the late morning, the sun showed itself ☀️ and we were quickly in our trekking shoes 🥾🥾 to explore the next TOP hiking trail. The actual Dune hiking trail is only 5 kilometers long, so we extended it. This allowed us to see the

The next TOP hiking trail was explored today in initially overcast weather ☁️. From the designated hiking parking lot, some altitude meters had to be covered to reach the Ibergwarte. Of course, we fearlessly climbed the lattice steps (outside) and the two ladders in the tower to arrive at the upper level

We followed the hotel's recommendation to hike the TOP trail Warteberg. The first hurdle was finding the hiking parking lot "Neun Brunnen" ⛲️. My mobile navigation led us through the forest 😳, but forest workers allowed us to pass. Upon arriving at the parking lot, we realized that the main road was

Today our leisurely holiday starts in Heilbad Heiligenstadt 😀. After a largely traffic-free journey, we oriented ourselves in the small town in the afternoon and strolled through the spa gardens ☀️🌷🪻⛲️ in the beautiful sunshine. There we were able to admire some wooden sculptures. The Völkerschlachtdenkmal

Optimal hiking weather ☀️🌤️ and so seven hiking enthusiasts from our YG hiking group, led by @Uli, set off to explore the forests in a wide arc west of the Glörtalsperre 🌳🌳🌳🪵🪵. All sorts of trails were included. We had imagined the paths to be muddier, but the streams stayed within limits. The

We hadn't seen the new exhibition "Zeitraumschweben - Blicke auf die Zukunft" at Haus Opherdicke yet. So we drove there. An interesting, sometimes strange exhibition awaited us. We liked the telephone sheep 🐑 the best. On the way home we treated ourselves to a Radler 🍻 in the beer garden of Freisch
