January 9, 2022,Geo-Rundweg 🪨 bei Medebach/ Sauerland ❄️

We. Want. Snow ❄️ ☃️ That's why we “had” to go to the Sauerland today - the winter here makes us wait too long 😉

We started in the middle of the village of Düdinghausen. In sleet (very slippery) it’s straight up to the chapel, a loop along the first geotopes >>> very interesting, very informative made ℹ️.

It had to be snow, that was the declared goal. So spontaneously off to the Sauerland after it didn't work out yesterday. Once again we actually wanted to leave much earlier *cough*. We were a little surprised on the spot, because we hadn't expected so much snow. Snowshoes and sleds would not have been so wrong.

"Between mussels, cephalopods and volcanoes in the tropical primeval sea"

An informative trail with a beautiful view from the Kreuzberg, a chapel, a gorge and three (actually four) geological outcrops on the Sauerland-Höhenflug.
The rocks around Düdinghausen come from the geological periods of the Devonian (417-358 million years ago) and the Carboniferous …

Nice tip from a book. Circular route around Düdinghausen. As there are some. There are inclines, good shoes are recommended 😉 If you have them, you should too. Bring hiking sticks.
Parking is on public. Parking at the Schützenhalle possible.
From there, the short detour-500m- to the "Freihstuhl" is signposted.

April 5, 2023,Wanderung Düdinghausen Geopfad (etwas verkürzt)

Very nice hike. Also recommended for those not interested in geology. (Partly rustic) beech forest alternates with spruce forest. Initially, the tour runs mainly uphill. It's really worth it though. Especially with clear weather like today. Again and again there are wonderful views out and into the distance.
Some sections of the hike run on paths on which sturdy shoes …
