November 11, 2022,Bochum: Weitmarer Holz, Kleinzeche Haunert

Hike through the Weitmarer Holz and to the small Haunert colliery with a stop at Borgböhmers Waldesruh. The Weitmarer Holz has very beautiful - also narrower - paths. Since the trees are still carrying a lot of leaves, it's hard to believe that it's November already.

The beautiful sunshine ☀️ and the crisp, cold air lured us outside. We enjoyed a wonderful walk in the Weitmarer Holz forest 🪵. Now we can savor our coffee. My dear 80-year-old neighbor is invited over for dinner later 🥘🍷.

We wish everyone a peaceful Christmas season 🎄.

The beautiful weather tempted us to go on the next hike. Unfortunately, I don't know which Komoot user I "copied" the tour from. In any case, it was a beautiful tour, although part of the route had been cleared and the paths were muddy. But that's nature!

LUCK ON, on the mining trail in Bochum-Süd. With the Haunert colliery and the Malakow Tower. The sun is shining, it's 2 °C, but with all the ups and downs on the path, it's already getting warm. 😃
