Project completion for @Andreas O.🥾🚲 and me! First, we tackled the last 3.5 km of the Hohe Mark Steig, before seamlessly switching to the WasserRoute, the additional stage – this time with @Gesine by our side. The route from Olfen to Haltern am See led mostly over wide and pleasantly shady paths.🌳 The route is good to walk, but I …

Today I accompanied @Claudi @Andreas O.🥾🚲 on the "water route" of the Hohe Mark Steig. We "had to"😉 first go to the end of the actual trail, as it was still missing for the two of them.
From there, we followed the turquoise marking of the water route. It led over familiar and cozy, mostly shady paths along the Hullerner …

Today we went with @Claudi at 32 degrees on the last 3.5 km of our Hohe Mark Steig and then continued on the additional stage "Wasserroute". We were also accompanied by@Gesine with whom we had been planning a joint tour for a long time.
Scenically it was really an interesting route, but since cyclists and hikers had to share the …

After a good night's sleep and a great breakfast, we went on the water route of the Hohe Mark Steig.
Great landscape.
Forest, floodplains, rivers and lakes.
Weather was also completely OK.
But on 80% asphalt and 100% hard roads, it's not really fun.

The "water route" is an additional stage of the Hohe Mark Steig, which leads from Olfen back to Haltern am See. Its theme is:

"Wander through the Shire; experience a water landscape at its most beautiful, discover rare species."

This very beautiful stage, which begins at the natural swimming pool in Olfen, not only runs along the water, but also …

Today the water route of the Height Mark Steig was on the program. A home game for me. To be honest, this stage is not one of my favorites...too much asphalt and dirt roads for my taste. Nevertheless, the many views of the lakes are of course a highlight that you have to hike along.

Terrible: 5 km of walking on a tarred bike path to the swimming pool - this is by far the stupidest stage and has nothing to do with hiking😡
