July 17, 2022,Wandermärchen Ederbergland: Lindenhardttour 🌳🌼🏞️

I was expecting something different...
The Extratour Lindenhardt was in 3rd place for Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2010, today I can't quite understand that anymore.
Start at the wildlife enclosure Dodenau 🦌. You can feed the deer with special food, but we wanted to walk first.
Some beautiful paths 🏞️, meadow paths 💐- but also quite a bit …

A very nice round with lots of great views. If it is wet and leaves have already fallen, I would do the tour counterclockwise. There is a spot through the forest that gets a little slippery going downhill.

Today was a very beautiful tour. And the Komoot navigation was completely unnecessary because the trail is perfectly signposted.
It's probably even more beautiful in summer, walking through the many arcades.
A very varied route... forests, river meadows, and expansive meadows. Highly recommended 😊
