Unfortunately, the hike wasn't really nice because there was actually no forest left.

Nice tour, unfortunately had to bypass Havester forest work on the Klippensteig 2 times on a large scale ...
Otherwise it was good. 👍🥾🌞

I wanted to walk the cliff path and knitted a circular path to go with it. The Eggekamm always fascinates me. I feel free and I can charge the batteries. Thanks to the few trees, you now have great views. Hopefully the cliff path doesn't eventually erode away due to a lack of trees. Today's hike inspired me.

If you love big stones, you have to go here. ♥️
Even though my heart bleeds at the sight of the clear-cutting on the Eggekamm, I try to see it positively. Every end is a new beginning and now you have a wonderful panoramic view. The leafless remaining trees allow a good view of the rocks.
It was a great …

Today wasn't my day....this morning I had sciatic pain, but I went hiking anyway.
Parked at the "Alten Eisenbahn" near Kleinenberg and then walked straight onto a small path that then leads to the A4 and Sintfeld Höhenweg. Part of the way I had to fight my way over and under fallen trees, then there was a section with very …

From Willebadessen it went over the Hirschstein to Bierbaums Nadel. When the weather is clear, you can see the Hercules in Kassel from there.
We went back over the Teutonia cliffs along the cliff path.
The remains of the Karlsschanze, a medieval hill fort, could still be seen on the way.
The damage of the last storms could not be …
