Forest Trail

Really something special... Didn't meet a soul, at least on the smaller paths there were no hiking markers, no signposts, no benches.
This made it seem very natural and unspoilt - I found it soothing

It may be muddy in winter, but today in May there was of course no sign of it 🤷
It was very nice and pleasant to walk, but above all it was totally quiet

For the "little hunger for exercise in between" and before the announced rain, this tour was just right. It was mostly flat through the forest 🌳 with wonderful forest floor 😀🌿🍂🍃. Only the few meters along the federal highway were (despite a wide shoulder for pedestrians and cyclists) not so fulfilling. I didn't meet anyone on the tour, I could …

Komoot called this tour so funny "from cemetery to muddy path", which sounded so stupid that I was almost tempted to take over the title 🤣

Well. I don't know what to think of this tour myself. There was a really bad section along a country road (80 km/h, no footpath or shoulder), really dangerous, which is why I can't …

That was once again a nice little Sunday ride through the Lippe meadows. Lupia took the ferry to Oberwerries Castle for a coffee. The starting point was the water ski parking lot, which will be closed around 5 p.m.
