April 2, 2023,Stein–Zeit–Mensch – Hängebrücke am Rothaarsteig Runde von Schanze

Went to Paderborn for a few days. On the way and to relax your legs a little after the drive, we stopped at the Schänzel resort. Despite the rain that fell the day before, the path was easy to walk (of course there was a puddle or two on the way). But all in all a nice tour, without too …

With a bright blue sky but frosty 🥶-14 degrees we set off on the Rothaarsteig today before heading home!
We set off from the Kühhude hiking car park over the wobbly suspension bridge, through wonderful forest passages, all alone, up to Schanze. We wanted to stop off at the alpine hut here. Unfortunately, it was closed. But there is an …

Today we went to Schmallenberg - Schanze. A piece of the sculpture path, over the suspension bridge and finally the Cyrill path. The idea for this came from @Edelweiß1967. The path can be supplemented with an audio guide.
We started with a long stretch downhill through a moss-covered beech forest 😍 After a while a stream was added ❤️. I …
