Did a great little hike again today. Last week on the bike tour we ended up in the Rotthäuser Bachtal due to a blockage and didn't get any further. This was the reason to get to know the valley. It was a very nice and varied round that led back to Erkrath via Gerresheim.

Today I finally managed the tour that I had saved under "planned" at Komoot for 2.5 years.

But it was worth the wait. More like a walk due to the length. Still great paths and a great slide because of the rain 😬
