My original plan was to hike somewhere else and a little further. But then I noticed that today was the last chance to go to the Christmas market in St. Wendel. So I picked out a smaller lap directly from St. Wendel.
The circular route is approx. 8km long without an extra round at the Christmas market. It passes many …

Walked the Wendelinus circular trail backwards. A different perspective on some things.

Today I, Bernhard, visited my 92 year old father-in-law in the retirement home. Then there was another lap over the panorama path. Walking is more exhausting than riding an ebike. 😁

March 22, 2023,Wendelinusrundweg - manchmal frei Schnauze

I wanted to test and break in my new hiking boots. For this I have chosen a short tour from Sankt Wendel. For my taste, the Wendelinus circular route has too much asphalt - just like many other pilgrimage routes. However, this is compensated by interesting places along the way and some far-reaching views of the Sankt Wendel region. The …

After I, Bernhard, recently had an operation on my left hand, I won't be able to ride my bike for a while. So today we both decided to go our separate ways. While Maggie was on her bike, I set off for a walk towards the Mission House and the Panorama Trail. Because many trees were felled on Missionshausstrasse, you …

What a successful blend of panoramic views, forest, and moments of discovery 🌾🌲
The Wendelinus circular trail really surprised me this time – not with the elevation gain, but with the small details along the way.
From the mission house to the Regiomat to the stele and the Wendelinus stone – it's worth taking a closer look.
