March 26, 2022,Durchs Eiterbachtal nach Lichtenklingen

On Saturday I went hiking with my brother again. He had wanted to go to Lichtenklingen for a long time, so we went from Siedelsbrunn, starting at the Buddahs Weg monastery, first through the Eiterbachtal, then to Lichtenklingen, past the Steinerne Bank and over the Stiefelhöhe back to the monastery.
A nice cozy round.... Schee wars🥾🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼🚶🐕‍🦺🌞

May 18, 2023,🌞 Wallfahrtsweg Lichtenklingen 🥾👣👍

Today we went from Siedelsbrunn along the Lichtenklingen pilgrimage route.
A really beautiful and varied tour 👌😃 with great distant views.
The route runs over narrow paths to well-developed paths; it goes through the beautiful Eiterbachtal with a babbling brook and goes through great forests with some wonderful views.
The paths are easy to walk on and there are many …

September 12, 2021,Siedelsbrunn/Odw: Eiterbachtal, Lichtenklingen und 👢höhe 🍄 🌰

Today we went from Siedelsbrunn, a district of Wald-Michelbach, down to the Eiterbachtal nature reserve, where the Eiterbach gurgled merrily. On beautiful forest paths we came to the ruins of the Lichtenklingen monastery, and from there we went up to the boot hut, which was kindly opened. A hike with a stop - what a wonderful tradition! It went back …

Today, we started out from Siedelsbrunn, following the pilgrimage route and the Eiterbachtal valley. We missed a few turns along the way 🫣. But as they say, "the journey is the destination" 😀.
A very beautiful route, albeit with few rest stops or benches. But the trails were great and varied 👍😀

October 6, 2024,St. Maria von Lichtenklingen, Buddhas Weg und der Hardberg

Today, after a quiet hike through a lot of forest, I drove to Siedelsbrunn and parked at the "Buddha's Way" monastery and strolled through the monastery garden before heading through Siedelsbrunn towards Eiterbachtal. I have done this hike through Eiterbachtal so many times and I always enjoy the silence and peace. I then continued on to Lichtenklingen, a chapel ruin …

January 8, 2022,Eiterbachtal-Lichtenklingen-Stiefelhöhe–Runde von Siedelsbrunn aus - 08.01.2022

"Time on the move" is completely wrong again - three hours would be the correct time. - Today it was a wonderful winter landscape, partly because of that it was exhausting. Overall, however, one of my favorite tours in our region. 👍🏻😀

December 31, 2021,Durch das Eiterbachtal nach Lichtenklingen und über den Hardberg zurück nach Siedelsbrunn

Year-end hike from Buddha's path through the beautiful lonely Eiterbachtal to Lichtenklingen on narrow paths through the former red sandstone quarries on the Hardberg back to Siedelsbrunn. Discovered a beautiful gnome tree on the way. The weather would have been more suitable for an Easter hike. It was nice and lonely 🥾🐕‍🦺☀️
I wish everyone here a Happy New Year, …
