Today it was just a short walk.
We started from the village of Gruiten through the beautiful town center.
Today is also Open Garden Day, where private gardens are opened and can be admired.
We were just too early, as it didn't start until 1 p.m.
We then hiked along the Düssel River to the Schöller, an old manor house. …

Beautiful tour along the Düssel and the magic path. Reminds of Harry Potter's 'Wmping Willow' 😊☝🏼
The landscape is very beautiful, only sometimes it goes along the road for a short time, which I personally don't like that much.

Used the last day of winter. The lime mining in Mettmann is scary. And no reforestation whatsoever.

It was actually supposed to be a stage on the Eulenkopfweg. However, since the freshening gusts became more and more hurricane and under these circumstances I thought it was a bad idea to walk through the forest alone at dusk, I shortened the tour. It was nice anyway, the complete stage will be available soon.

Today we went over a section of the Neanderlandsteig, or Bergisches Weg. Great, varied tour with the village of Schöller (Schinderhannes tower, church), Grube 7 (a disused limestone pit, now an impressive nature reserve), the beautiful village of Gruiten and the idyllic Düsseltal. ☀️🥾😊
Map or app helpful because the trail is sometimes badly marked.

A not too long tour, which only began in the afternoon. Eulenkopfweg was the name of one of the hiking trails, probably programmatic for us, because we are not larks with our timing. It was accordingly warm …
