October 18, 2021,Heming(high)way 44

The tour starts in Großhau, at the Glockenofen car park.
A 'historical - literary hiking trail', the landscape is very beautiful, wonderful beech forest, but also dark coniferous forest. The breath of history only blows in secret, hardly obvious.

We were in the Hürtgenwald for the first time today, not because of the war, but to get some fresh air and enjoy nature. Despite the cloudy weather, this hiking trail is not a bad decision. …
