January 29, 2023,Kleine Eisenberg Hunde Tour

Short round with the dog on Eisenberg. Unfortunately, the paths are all badly affected by wooden backs. The construction of the Grenztail for mountain bikes leaves additional tracks in the forest, too bad.
There was still plenty of snow and the dog liked it!

A short walk with the dog around the Eisenberg. Korbach's local mountain with Germany's largest gold deposit.

Unfortunately we had to do the route a little differently because the last part of the route was impassable due to the rain. Otherwise it was a beautiful route with a good view from the tower when the weather was nice. The Eisenberg castle ruins were also worth seeing.

Went for a nice, quiet hike on a beautiful, sunny Sunday. The view from the tower is very beautiful and it was really quiet, as there weren't many people around.

This morning we chose a short, beautiful walk to the Eisenberg near Korbach, with the castle ruins of the same name. It was frosty white in the cloud-covered forest, glittering with ice, sparkling and beautiful ❄️❄️❄️. The conditions for hair ice to form were right and so I found what I was looking for and couldn't get enough 😄. I …

After the changeable weather day, we took a trip to the Eisenberg to the Georg-Viktor Tower and the castle ruins. From the tower we had a great panoramic view of the Sauerland and could see a 360° panorama in different eras using a QR code in the browser. That was great.
Afterwards we wanted to eat with our hosts in …
