a visit to the Landesgartenschau (State Garden Show) in Leinefelde-Worbis under the motto: „Reconciliation between town and country“.
So, off we went!
Pascale had a few days between all the graduation parties to spend with us. He drove us to Leinefelde.

Zug um Zug in Altenbeken
Ein Brückenschlag mit Folgen: Seit die Altenbekener 1853 mit dem Viadukt den Anschluss an die Westfälische Eisenbahn bekamen, ist die Eisenbahn tief in Ihren Lebens-Geschichten verwurzelt."Allerdurchlauchtigster allergnädigster König und Herr!" Mit diesen Worten wurde er am 21. Juli 1853 begrüßt: Seine Majestät König Friedrich Wilhelm IV. von Preußen.

Today we walked a stretch of the Altenbeken Viaduct Trail (Viadukt Wanderweg Altenbeken).
A must for all railway fans!
And where could a hike on the theme of railways begin more fittingly than at a historic steam locomotive. The heavy freight train steam locomotive 044 389-5 was built in 1941 and has stood

Durch das Silberbachtal zur Velmerstot
Der Name Velmerstot entstand aus der Bezeichnung des nahen Orts Veldrom; Feldrom heißt Felder zu Drohme, und der Begriff Stot steht für Steilhang. Einer anderen Interpretation zufolge wird die Silbe „stot“ von „Stute“ abgeleitet, was darauf hinweist, dass in früheren Zeiten der lippische Graf seine Pferde hier weidete.

Today we undertook a pure pleasure hike in the Eggegebirge 👍!
We started in the small, picturesque village of Leopoldstal. On the first few meters, we discovered the Protestant church on the cycle path, which, thanks to a very friendly lady, we were also able to visit from the inside. A modern building

On the way from the parking lot to the city center, we passed the cathedral.
So, in we went!

Below the Bärenstein ridge trail, there is a large rock formation. We, as great rock lovers, had chosen it as our goal for today.
We started directly at the hotel and hiked again through a beech forest, initially parallel to the rocks, past many forest spirits to the turn-off for the rock formation.

Stein auf Stein, das sind die Externsteine
Schon während der Steinzeit waren die Externsteine von großer Bedeutung für unsere Vorfahren. Bei den dreizehn bis zu 35 m hohen grauen Felsen handelt es sich um eine vorwiegend aus Sandstein der Unterkreide-Zeit aufgebauten mittleren Gebirgskette des Teutoburger Waldes. Die Steine in der Nähe von Horn-Bad Meinberg sind Bestandteil des…

Today was all about the Externsteine.
These, in the southern Teutoburg Forest between Horn and Detmold, are a unique natural and cultural monument! The five sandstone rocks were set upright during the folding of the mountain range and exposed and shaped by erosion forces over the last 65 million years
