🥾 On the way on the home trail Maareglück: Wind and expanse 💨
The date was set, but who would have expected such cool weather today, May 16th? 🥶 But no matter, we packed our backpacks for the "Heimatspur Maareglück" 🎒 despite the rather unpleasant weather forecast. It was definitely too cool for the season and the wind whistled around …

Ah yes, it's not 100% the MaareGlück tour, as my starting point was different and I walked it counter-clockwise, to avoid the tourist crowds at the Sage and Schreibe 3 Maaren!

October 29, 2025,HeimatSpur - MaareGlück Rundweg

A beautiful tour past three volcanic lakes (Maare) and many other sights. Almost entirely on forest paths or gravel roads. Places to stop for refreshments are available at the beginning and end of the tour, and also relatively far in the middle. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended. Parking cost us €5 for the day.

A hike with plenty of water was my Mother's Day wish, and so I chose the MaareGlück trail. The sun made the Schalkenmehren Maar glisten in the sun and the broom glow. The lupins formed purple splashes in the meadow. Every few hundred meters, we admired the magnificent landscape from one of the numerous benches. Before reaching the Weinfelder Maar, …

February 2, 2025,🌞 HeimatSpur MaareGlück – Sonne, Frost & Lichtspiele im Wald ❄️🌲

❄️ Frosty but sunny – just the right weather for this run.
🌲 The play of light and shadow in the forest was particularly beautiful – frost glittered everywhere in the sun.
🥾 The route was well-maintained, varied, and pleasant to run – exactly what you'd expect from GesundLand.
