Bergische Landwehr and Historic Hollow Way

Highlight • Historical Site

Nature reclaims a lot, and so you would just walk past this place steeped in history without suspecting where you are walking across...

... if this sign would not indicate it!

Today a round with a lot of water (next to and on the paths).
A little snow, a little sun, just great!

August 26, 2023,next challenge please

Today we had a double addition to our Saturday round, which today could also be called the Brothers in Law round.
Both Marcs and my brother-in-law are visiting the most beautiful city in Germany and absolutely wanted to come with us today. The tour planned by @Meilensammler years ago was great and at the end of the tour there is …

January 29, 2022,W1 Entlang der Ennepe (AG Wandern) nicht ganz nach Plan

Today's tour served to record the W1 of the hiking group. Due to the storm and flood damage, part of this path is not freely accessible. We tried it anyway and got an overview. The photos of the trees on the paths serve as markers. When and how these obstacles will be removed is still being planned. The W1 will …

March 1, 2025,🌲🌳😃Durch das Wilde Ennepetal Zur Ennepetalsperre🤪🌲🌳

Today I had the idea 💡 to walk to the Ennepetal Dam 🚶🏾‍♂️ 😆🤪!!
It was a strenuous climb due to the muddy conditions and the many climbs through fallen trees 🌳!
But admittedly 23 km in such conditions is not for everyone 🤪😝⁉️
It was definitely enough for me 🥵😵‍💫🙂‍↔️🤪🙈🙈😆😆🤣🤣

March 9, 2024,Wanderung um Ennepetal-schwer

A very nice hike! We started at the parking lot of the Platsch swimming pool. The hike partly leads over trails, which are probably more accessible when the vegetation has not yet grown that high. It also runs below the Ennepetalsperre dam wall. The last part of the hike leads over an area where the dead wood has been left …

0 to 2 degrees
I parked near the Klutertbad in Ennepetal.

It was cold again and it was drizzling slightly, so the paths were pretty muddy. Due to the last few rainy days, the paths were more like small streams, so I had to keep jumping over some deep pools of …

January 11, 2025,Snow-Adventure-Tour Ennepetal ❄️🌲🥾

Today I really wanted to see some snow after seeing the beautiful snow pictures from so many Komootlers ☺️
So I walked from Hülsenbecker Tal via Rüggeberg to the Heilenbecker Talsperre and of course back again 😅
The tour turned out to be an adventure from halfway through... you had the feeling that nature had bowed to winter 🙈 endless …

April 14, 2022,Schau in den Himmel rund um Rüggeberg

When was the last time you really consciously looked up? I don't mean the cursory glance to get an idea of the weather, but the inquiring look in search of something special: e.g. a funny cloud formation, a flock of birds flying by, the vapor trails of the airplanes, the planet-killing comet or more pleasant surprises? When I read that …
