March 5, 2022,Der Kuckucksweg

The Kuckucksweg is another of the grandiose extra tours in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland. Once you have climbed out of Eibach, the path leads over high meadows, partly also high heathland, sometimes through light-flooded deciduous forests, sometimes through dark coniferous forests even in bright sunshine. And again and again there are these wonderful panoramic views over the countless hilltops. A real pleasure …

August 27, 2021,HE: Lahn-Dill-Bergland - Extratour Kuckucksweg - rund um Eibach

today we unfortunately had a bit of bad luck with the weather - it rained every now and then.
But it stopped just in time for the snack / lunch break - what more could you want!
The path is very nice to walk - parts of the forest alternate with not so great views today ... definitely worth it. …

Today I walked the Cuckoo Trail in 22°C sunshine.
I think it's smoother, easier, and more enjoyable walking the right way.

We didn't see or hear a "cuckoo". Nevertheless, the tour was quite nice, with many out and distant views.
Like all Lahn-Dill mountain tours so far, excellent trail markings and easily walkable trails/paths, although today (due to yesterday's rain) it was a bit damp.
Recommended for tracking.

I actually started walking without a destination in mind (that's why a section is missing). Suddenly I found myself on the Cuckoo Trail. Since I want to do all the extra tours again this year anyway, I walked it straight away. It's so wonderful to be able to enjoy the view, bathe in nature and simply enjoy the beautiful weather …

A nice walk in the LDB... everyone stretched their paws, and at the same time, we broke in and tested our new hiking boots!
Fiete and I don't need anything like that... but I have to say: if you chase a two-legged creature like that, they'll have much more grip in the turns... 😀
..........And they won't fly off 😁
