October 2, 2022,Wanderhalbmarathon 🚶‍♀️mit Lisa 🚶‍♀️ und Lilly 🐕

That was by far the wettest tour I've ever done 🙈. During the whole hike it didn't stop raining 🌧. As a result, some of the paths were difficult. Narrow, downhill, steep and slippery, two three sections were really difficult and also dangerous. A beautiful tour in terms of landscape and certainly fantastic in better weather 😎. Despite everything, we …

Due to the constant rain, some passages were very muddy and also very slippery. I was very …

Himmerod Abbey is always a gem.
And the path along the Salm just beautiful.
It's a pity that it started to rain again in the last meters.
Tomorrow is the last day of our hiking week and we're going …

Today we hiked from Großlittgen along country lanes to the Cistercian Abbey of Himmerod. For the way back we chose a sometimes wildly romantic detour through the Salmtal and on through Musweiler.
