Bridge over the Mittelland Canal at Schloss Benkhausen

Highlight • Bridge

Since my cold is finally getting better, I really needed to get some fresh air today. A short walk through Benkhausen was just the thing.

Better 2 km than none!

Today I was in the German Automatenmuseum and then walked the small circular route at Benkhausen Castle.
A beautiful and very well-kept path, which offers a lot of variety despite its shortness.
A funny suspension bridge, the Mittelland Canal, a stork observation point, a meadow orchard, a great avenue, the castle with its garden itself. …

Very nice round, which has its special charm in the evening light. For those who want to take a break more often, there are inviting park benches at regular intervals.

A destination that is also suitable for children.

After I had already spent a lovely morning at the Auesee (the birdlife there was very diverse today: jays, gray egrets, great egrets, cormorants, lots of woodpeckers, etc.) and tried to get used to my polar filter, which definitely still needs some practice , we went for a walk around Benkhausen Castle after lunch.
