It is wonderfully quiet here, therefore the ideal place for a break! And info, e.g. about pig and cattle farming, you can also get here 🙂

Today, my visitor from faraway places did not go to the Baltic Sea, but rather inland - to Lake Bothkamp. The route is one of my tried and tested favorites for trail running.

Fortunately, the weather stayed true to the forecast, albeit with a delay: the initially dense gray sky later cleared up and allowed us to see a little …

A very nice hike.
However, now at the end of May, the mosquitoes have almost eaten us.


There are several ways for the dog to cool off on hot days.

On the way there are many learning boards for big and small.
There are information boards and small quizzes around the cattle pond.

This is one of my favorite tours that I celebrate at least once a year. I'm late in terms of the calendar, because the lake and pond views are growing rapidly. Also growing is the onslaught of tormentors looking for a blood meal🦟🦟.

Today we started at the Bothkamp nature trail to hike past the nature reserve "Lütjensee - Hochfelder See southeast of Gut Bothkamp" to the real Bothkamper See. We were accompanied by the friendly dog lady Kuba, who had joined us 🤔  At first we assumed that she belonged to Hof Siek and would turn back at some point.... She couldn't …

“Hands up, weekend!” a friend said, but instead we chose to hold on to the bar counter of a club with our hands. Somehow we got bogged down there despite all the stopping measures...

So today I had to do a detox run. The choice fell on an old favorite, the Uferweg and the NSG from Bothkamper See. It would …

Today we had to impress the visitors who were very fond of hiking - so a special tour was needed! We both remembered the Bothkamp circuit as very nice, as we were there two years ago at the end of October. At that time we got completely in the dark 🌑 so that the last part of the hike was …

A wonderful route, discovered spontaneously today in Komoot's "Newsfeed". We started in Kirchbarkau after we had only driven to Gut Bothkamp. But since all of this is already a nature reserve, we didn't want to park there. There is a side path around the estate, you continue on well-developed paths if you like, but sometimes also on narrow paths directly …

The season for 'new to me tours' after work is apparently over. It just got too dark to safely find its way over roots, stones and slippery mud. Overall, I was traveling slowly ... (I didn't fall either :)).

It was still a nice end. I've wanted to explore this area for a long time, but I didn't make it …
