The cave opening can be seen a few meters above the ground. If you stay very still, you can hear the Hollen (goblins) whisper softly;)

March 11, 2023,Hollenkammer + H9 "Über die Höhen des Steigers" 🌲🥾🧗‍♂️
A very nice and varied Habichtswald tour with many sights such as the many cliffs around the Hollenkammer, the Scheid near Volkmarsen, the Kugelsburg and the great pine forests everywhere!
From time to time the sun even shone and immediately spread the spring. It can stay like this...!👍🏻☀️🚶🏻‍♂️

A beautiful hiking day even with little sun! Volkmarser Scheid is always relaxing and quiet!

Start: Kugelsburg hiking car park

Today's hike was all about it
Chilly Climbing Sunny Dogy


Each of us kept dropping the sentence:
"Oh, is it so nice today"
"I would never have imagined it to be so beautiful"
"Aren't They Cute Together"
"It's 28 °C today"

We started with @Heidiho at the Kugelsburg in rain and fairly cool temperatures, but our picnic at the Scheidwarte was still a bit boozy. 😁
The sun came out later and it got warm.
The Hollenkammer was planned for this tour and the wonderful sandstone rocks are definitely worth it. A good part of the tour led over very beautiful …

Today it took us again to the area of the Habichtswaldsteig. The Extratour H9 was still missing in our collection. We connected the H9 with a generous loop at Volkmarsen and the Kugelsburg 🏰. Unfortunately, coffee and cake had to be canceled today, there was a private party at the Kugelsburg. But we were home on time before the thunderstorms.😊

Thanks and greetings to ClaudiaKempino for this beautiful tour template.

Start and finish at the parking lot in front of the ruins of the Kugelsburg.

After exploring the ruins with a beautiful view of Volkmarsen, we walked along the Erpe to the NSG Scheid. A calcareous grassland with typical vegetation, cowslips, violets, sloes, juniper, pines, etc., and of course sheep …

Super nice tour from Volkmarsen over the Scheid, through the Hollenkammer with its impressive rock formations and along the Erpe to the Huckers caves.
Back over the Scheid we finally went to the Kugelsburg. There the wind whistled the icing sugar off the apple pie and I was almost knocked over on the tower. But the view is fantastic from …

The Kugelsburg and the H9 seem to be very popular right now. But we just walked in the other direction 😃. The result is a great tour that I will definitely combine with the H9 in spring.

Kaya passed her final exam of her anti-hunting training summa cum laude on the tour today 🥳. Four deer ran past at a …
