Dream Loop Upper Baybach Valley

Here the Hunsrückhöhenstraße leads over the Baybach.

October 24, 2024,Der Goldene Oktober hat Pause...

I'll be back for coffee... I told my husband. A bit careless, as I always like to "get lost" in the Baybachtal. It was almost "convenient" that my knees hurt so much that I had to take a shortcut at short notice. Now it's become something like a "Best of Upper Baybachtal", a mixture of the dream loop of the …

stop for a while
here, where Brünnchen's waters flow,

where the brook wells up from the earth,
satisfies many a thirsty throat,
where once the good shepherd boy,
gave the bowl shape to Brünnchen,
with a chisel and with a strong hand,
he defies the rock resistance, …
