Bridge Over the Landsberger Graben

Highlight • Bridge

Unfortunately, the bridge has changed a lot from the pictures and no longer looks as exotic as it once was. It's a shame that the people there do so little to maintain the facility.

Actually a nice route. Unfortunately after the rainy days it was very muddy in places. At the end a section was even impassable/closed off. 🛑

Conclusion: Hello dear readers. I was a little disappointed at the >beginning<.

By car to the Hoeler S-Bahn station. Lots of parking and free parking. The route suggested by komoot also starts there.

I've been wanting to do this 'walk' for a while as I've always stumbled across the great pics other users have uploaded to the highlights while looking …

Hösel train station - Landsberg Castle - Hösel train station. It was nice and our dog had fun

February 12, 2022,Waldgebiet Landsberg/Hugenpoet – Schloß Landsberg Runde von Hösel

Starting point at Hösel train station. There is enough parking space here.

It then goes quite quickly into the forest. A varied path leads to Landsberg Castle and back again.

Paths are sometimes quite matchig, which is to be expected in winter.

Two small streams have to be crossed on the route.
