Unfortunately, I was very angry, once again had the bad luck with the recording, 3 times Komoot wrote 'recording paused', that can't be true 😬🙁
Otherwise the tour was a dream, wonderful to go and wonderful highlights, I found the deer trough for hikers very cool 🍻😅👍

A very nice dream bow.
Shortly before the end there is a small detour. There is a dead end at the "Badestelle" rest area. You can approach the rest area and then have to go back to the main path.

The monument consists of approx. 70 tons of Taunus quartzite from the Hunsrück. Halfway through the hike, we were so thirsty that we had a * chilled * from the stream at the …
