A trip on April 30th, 2023
We hiked the 8.5 km long cherry hiking trail 1 near Wendershausen under a cloudless sky. It was a very beautiful, pleasant path, along the way we saw countless cherry trees in bloom, a dream in white. Several times we had the two-castle view of the castles Ludwigstein in Hesse and Hanstein in Thuringia. …

In glorious sunshine, we took advantage of the opportunity and went for a hike through the cherry orchards of Witzenhausen. A sea of white blossoms and the buzzing and humming of bees 🐝.

April 13, 2024,🌸 Kirchwanderweg 1 🌸 🍒 Witzenhausen 🍒

Last Saturday, Yvi and I went to see the 🌸 cherry blossoms 🌸 in Witzenhausen and hiked the 🍒 Cherry Hiking Trail 1 🍒. The start and finish was the Ritzmühle bus stop in Witzenhausen. The trail was well attended, as expected. It was still worth it and it was a wonderful day.
