August 13, 2025,Westerwald: Rundtour Sinn - Aartalsee

In Sinn, the route leads comfortably into the forest on a narrow mountain road. Soon it gets steeper and, on a gravel path, even rougher. Am I on a pass in South Tyrol? Up to a good 400 meters, there are two or three magnificent clearings that offer a wonderful view of the Westerwald. I found the break at the …

March 27, 2022,# R22.25 | LDB Rides: Herborn-Aartal-Rundtour mit Lost Place und einem schönen Bachtal 👍👍

Today English Teatime was on the menu at Mother's with scones, clotted cream and jam, or we delivered them (baked by my wife). But before you start eating away, you have to earn the pounds first.
