This tour is very varied and is always fun to run. It was still a little early for the Indian Summer in the vineyards, so it will be repeated soon like this or in a variation 👌☀️🍂

The start is at the train station in Bensheim. Then it goes briefly through the beautiful old town and soon uphill towards the …

Today, too, the sunny day had to be spent outdoors.

Conveniently, the planning and the hike were outsourced, or rather, I happily joined my friends on their hiking trip. Switching off my brain, walking along, enjoying myself, not having to worry about a thing. And after a morning workout, it's perfectly fine to continue at a leisurely pace. Today is …

We parked at the train station and first walked through the city to the blue tower, where we were recently. With a great view and always blue …

Today I went to the western edge of the Odenwald again. I stole the tour from someone. I just don't remember who 🤷🤔 Maybe they recognize it and leave a comment so I can thank them.

The starting and ending point was the parking lot at the Schönberg cemetery. I followed the S1 of the Hessentag Trail almost the entire …
