May 31, 2026,Rundwanderweg WR11

Besides the WR6 and the WR9, I was out and about in the municipality of Wirges again today. The circular hiking trail WR11 is just as worthwhile as the WR9, relatively varied. In retrospect, I still cannot recommend the circular hiking trail WR6, as it leads too much through urban areas.

More about the WR11 can be found at: wanderwegweiser.de/index.php/wanderwege-wrg/liste-wrg/wr11
