Haigerseelbach hiking trail

After the early shift of the two-legged friend, we went for a walk - (despite the heat, which was actually bearable at first). "Chasing" us two sable pelts through the sun. Man, he's crazy - the old "fur tormentor".. !! The new circular route was recently inaugurated. At first we didn't think the loop was that great, as it initially runs mainly on asphalt near the motorway and through sections of construction sites. That changed later and the route got more and more beautiful sections with long-distance views. She was also rich in animals: we saw birds of prey and a swarm of bees, 2 rabbits came galloping towards us 3m away on a bend in the path, and Fiete later stood about 5m away on the path opposite a small red fox pup, when it suddenly emerged from the undergrowth came. Looked almost the same as us from the nose, just in a different color😂. Unfortunately, the cell phone camera wasn't ready to go so quickly, so there are no photos of the fox and rabbit. But great experiences. We also had to "fight through" a 50th birthday - and the rest area "Auf der Gass" and the place with the "Forest Games" were great. Now that's enough for today and rest: But not for our two-legged friend!!!... After all, all the ticks have to get out of their fur - unfortunately there are no photos of them either 😁😁! See you soon, your Bruno 🐾🐾 https://www.haiger.de/freizeit-tourismus/sport-und-wandern/haigerseelbacher-rundwanderweg/

With the starting point on the cold oak, things are actually going quite well. Unfortunately, part of the way leads along the motorway, so that you have a corresponding background noise for a long time. It's also a pity that you have to go back a bit from the "Gaass" vantage point. Overall, the path is easy to walk and gets 3 out of 5 stars from me.

Very nice round with great viewpoints. The "Wichtelwald" is an attraction in itself. You should see it at least once 👌🏻👏🏻☝🏻

Today, on the holiday, with my two "journeymen" on the new "Haigerseelbacher-Rundwanderweg." A beautiful route, on which it was only a bit "restless" at the beginning because of the direct proximity to the A 45. On the way there were always wonderful views, and yes, there were also "a few" meters of altitude to overcome. That's the way it is with us in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland. We really liked the route!!👍 Length: approx. 11 km 322 HM

At kilometer 10 (see pictures) the hiking trail is currently interrupted by a construction site. You just have to improvise.
