Nice circular hike around the Diabas quarry in Wolfshagen.

Nature is taking back the area ... Follow the trail of the stones.

Also suitable for children. Our 4 and 10 year olds had a lot of fun.

Today we went for a little walk with some reinforcements and visited the old quarry again, this time without witches. The child was allowed to continue filling his stamp booklet, after all he now has more than dad 😆.

It's a shame that every single signpost has been sprayed 😡 and you can't read anything anymore, …

Today I only went on a short hike (track of the stones) because I then went on a guided tour of the Knesebeck mine. It was another nice little round today.
