December 13, 2023,Tour durch die Drover Heide

First walk after the third Corona infection. Now I'm exhausted after 5 km. The fresh air did me a lot of good. The landscape in the heath is beautiful in every season.

August 24, 2021,Zauberhaftes Ründchen durch die Drover Heide

I am completely enchanted by this extraordinarily beautiful landscape! Lt. A local lady blooms the heather from the end of July / beginning of August to around the beginning of September. That was a great highlight, even if I barely made kilometers out of sheer amazement, observation and photography! If you are lucky you can also see the Scottish beef! …

I started today at the parking lot in Drove.
With this beautiful weather I wanted to enjoy as much sun as possible today.

The Drover Heide is also a piece of the Eifel - surprising on the easy-to-walk circular route with an almost flat landscape of heath, forest and meadows.

I felt a bit reminded of the steppe/puszta in Hungary.
