November 8, 2023,Grenzwege in der Hessischen Schweiz (Teilstück P4 ab Neuerode)

Yesterday I was able to take a bit of “time out” again and used the short break in the rain to go for a ride in Hessian Switzerland. One more time in the forest before the leaves are all down.
I parked at the old quarry in Neuerode and started from there. After the first 400m I was at least …

Sightseeing at the former German/German border.
Started from the Neuerode hiking car park, from there hiked some sections of the P4 and also a few meters over the former patrol path.
The forest paths are great to walk and lead through huge fields of wild garlic and the view in some places is awesome.
Unfortunately the weather didn't play along …
