May 21, 2025,"Entschleunigung" Kunstwandern in und um Morschen

Today, we decided to "slow down"... so we started quite early.... the route was quite easy to walk on tarmac and gravel, with short sections that were a bit more rustic... there were benches/rest stops every now and then, and some beautiful views. The highlights along the route were the many works of art, which I, admittedly as an art …

February 28, 2024,🥾 „Entschleunigung” – ARS NATURA-Kunstwanderweg

Today I used my day off for a really nice hike. We started with the train to Altmorschen, first visited the Haydau monastery. I was there before in autumn, always nice. Then we continued through the very well-kept, beautiful place to the forest. It was pleasantly warm and I even had to take off my jacket. I really like the …

July 7, 2021,Knüll: ARS❌Natura Morschen "Entschleunigung"

The name says it all - deceleration. Half-timbered houses, Haydau Monastery, views, intact forest, meadows and fields - crowned by various works of art.
Only the signs are a kind of search game.
Parking in the parking lot at the monastery, directly opposite the main entrance is the Waltari-Bergmann-Platz, the starting point.
The monastery garden is highly recommended.

January 8, 2023,Ars Natura - Rundweg Morschen

After our longer hiking break, we first have to acclimatize again as far as the length of the route is concerned. So we chose a clear route, which - in my opinion - has an extremely pretty, feminine elevation profile (my wife scolds). We chose a circular route on the Ars Natura because splashes of color are rarely found at …

I was on the Ars Natura tour near Morschen today 🐾👣 First in sunshine and then in the rain.

The topic of the round is "deceleration" and there are some really great works of art again.
Unfortunately, it was still too cold for me to really "slow down".
In summer it is certainly super nice to sit in the circle …
