The impressive natural monument of the "Old Baptism" raises questions. Whether it is used as a baptismal font or simply a 3 x 3 meter cube-shaped sandstone block - it is definitely a worthwhile excursion destination in a scenic location.

January 20, 2024,Winterwald Deister mit Normannsturm von Blumenhagen ❄️ 🦌❄️ 🌞

Quickly took advantage of the opportunity - winter forest Deister with sun 🌞. Of course it was packed at Nordmannsturm, but with a little patience 🍰☕️...

Made the Deister unsafe today with my mother and her 2 dogs plus my brother's dog.
Was a nice round, but the Wallmannsweg from Wallmannshütte to the parking lot is currently not recommended. The newly graveled surface is so rough and uneven. The mini dog even had to be carried, we didn't want to provoke any injury.

Sprint Walk🚶‍♂️😄! From the Forsthaus Blumenhagen 🏡, the route first led up to the Wallmann Hütte via the Wallmann Weg. A beautiful trail followed through the Teufelskammer up to the Kammweg with a detour to the Teufelskanzel 😈 (didn't pass it for the first time 🤗).
A piece of the ridge path I now reached the old baptism 🛁. Finally …

A 40km tour was actually planned for today, but rain was forecast and because I don't yet have rain-proof hiking gear, I decided on a short tour through the Deister.
In the near future, I will definitely stock up more on equipment so that I can avoid such situations in the future.

We actually wanted to go hiking on April 26th, but we didn't. In retrospect, it was a stroke of luck because we had better weather today (again). Pictures to follow.
