October 21, 2021,Stürmischer Spaziergang durch den Findlingspark Nochten🌬️
Very nicely landscaped park (prices & opening times on photo 2), where you can waste a lot of time when the weather is nice. Storm Ignatz basically pushed us through, with lots of dust / sand on our faces 🙃. Even the small waterfall (photo 30) did not fall, but was blown away 😄. Photo 1 🌬️⛅ was taken on …

An incredibly interesting excursion destination not only for geologists (and outside 😉) or geography teachers 👍👍

A little break was due again today. In the Nochten boulder park there was a nice combination of "let your soul dangle" and "food for the brain". We didn't have the best deal with the weather, but you can't have everything :D.

The Nochten Boulder Park is not only a place for recreation, but also a place that offers a fascinating insight into the region's history, geology, and the recultivation of industrial landscapes. It's a great destination for families, nature lovers, and anyone with a passion for stones and gardens.

That was a really good idea, I mean the overtime, in this vast boulder park. The art of making it all look completely natural is impressive. I am neither a geologist nor a gardener, but I am still delighted by how beautifully the botany has been harmonized with the rock. Luck was also on my side, because in the morning …
