June 9, 2024,Wanderweg M3 Mettinger Wanderpass (2024/19)

Today we ran the second to last tour - we still need one more to get the gold badge.
The route was very asphalt-heavy, but we still liked it. We ran it so that we had the forest section at the end - basically the wrong way round 😉

A very nice hiking route! 🤩 A bit of asphalt and a lot of forest. Simply beautiful. Jette quickly washed her feet at the washing station and thought it was great, even though she didn't want to at first... 🤔😃🐕

December 30, 2023,Lang ersehnte Wanderung 🥾🥰

FINALLY I was able to get on the hiking trail again. And quite spontaneously (clarified 15 minutes in advance) I had my friend Petra by my side. 🥰
Since all the paths are pretty wet at the moment, we chose the Mettinger M3 because it contains some asphalt sections.

Our last 🥾🥾 lap together a good three weeks ago was extremely WET!

For the most part we followed the Mettinger hiking route M3.

Actually, it was still "obligatory" on the plan, but when the weather is dry and even the sun is doing its best in the meantime, then it's NOW! just the right time for a round! It was quite windy and a bit chilly. We deliberately chose the M3 (nice tour 👍, I already knew it) because the asphalt part is …

January 20, 2024,Der Anfang ist gemacht!🥳 Erste Wanderung 2024! Mettingen!

FINALLY!🎉
Our first hike in 2024! We couldn't motivate ourselves in the recent rainy weather...But now it's starting again!!😇

We walked (almost completely) the M3 in Mettingen.
I changed a section because we've been there several times.
Otherwise you can easily take the M3 route and follow the signs.
