August 20, 2022,Natursteig Sieg Etappe 13 Alsdorf–Kirchen (Sieg)

At the end of my hiking weekend, I hiked the 13th stage of the Natursteig Sieg from Alsdorf train station to Kirchen train station.

I saved this rather short stage for the end because of a special highlight.

The weather was very cloudy in the morning, last night it finally rained a bit. Distant views were therefore not to be …

Hiked the penultimate stage of the Natursteig Sieg today. A nice and short stage, but you notice the difference in altitude.

July 25, 2021,Natursteig Sieg in Gegenrichtung: Kirchen - Alsdorf

So now the 2nd stage of my project to hike the Natursteig Sieg in the opposite direction. Highlights of this route are certainly the Otto Tower, which allows a fantastic all-round view of the landscape, the Druidenstein, an impressive basalt cone, as well as the landscape blooming in all summer colors with a multitude of butterflies, which are rarely seen …

This was certainly the shortest stage of the Siegsteig. The paths were good, but unspectacular. The highlights were of course the Druidenstein and the Ottoturm. The absolute highlight is of course the weather today 🌞🌞🌞💯

I followed a large part of the 13th stage of the Natursteig Sieg. It is definitely worth climbing the Otto Tower and visiting the Druid Stone. Unfortunately Komoot stopped me on the tower🤷‍♂️, so the first section is not part of this tour. Maybe the software wasn't free from giddiness 😉
I have attached a picture of the 2.6 km …

June 23, 2024,Natursteig Sieg Etappe 13: Betzdorf über Alsdorf bis Kirchen

Today the penultimate tour of the Siegsteig with an alternative starting point.

Because Betzdorf was easier to reach for our guest hikers. The tour was actually only supposed to be 1.5 km longer because of this. Unfortunately, we made a mistake at the beginning and had to adjust the tour a little.
