February 22, 2025,Naturschutzgebiet Kiesgruben – Hütte Runde von Weilbach

This early in the year, the area is not yet so worthwhile. But we do see goats and the famous kulans (wild donkeys). And the food at the Wild Donkey is always good.

Since it was nice and frozen, I thought I would drive to the Weilbach gravel pits again. Unfortunately, the paths are often very muddy in many places.
So I took advantage of this weather and the dogs stayed clean 😊
If you're lucky, you can also see the kulans that live there in the fenced-in area. But they aren't nice …

Fish, goats, birds of prey, wild donkeys and finally delicious tarte flambée in the wild donkey.

July 13, 2025,Carbonpause mit Bienenfresser

Today the road bike stayed in the stable.
I'd once again dug myself deep into the cockpit of the racing bike while tinkering with it. Completely disassembled the headset, untangled the brake hydraulic lines like a tangled 80s telephone cable.

The round can be optimally extended via e.g. B. the Poets' Tower or along the Raben. A walk up to the observation towers is recommended! Please do not want to feed the animals that …

September 19, 2021,Naturschutzgebiet Weilbacher Kiesgruben und endlich gesichtete Kulane

During another short hike around the nature reserve Weilbacher Kiesgruben, we were able to enjoy the views in pleasant sunny weather.

Despite the high number of visitors, this excursion was marked by luck, because suddenly he was standing there, a kulan.

Nice sunset walk. Unfortunately, the tower was closed, but the sinking autumn sun was also wonderful on the ground.

August 18, 2024,Sonntagmorgenspaziergang Weilbacher Kiesgruben

Today, Sunday, there will be no hike due to the forecast for a lot of rain. And as is the case with weather forecasts, they are not always accurate. At least my morning walk with the dogs remained dry.
