Spring and rest area by Kaierde Church

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a good place for a short break. Directly in front of the church the path crosses a stream and next to it there is a bench to rest.

Forest Path to Lutherplatz

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A narrow, romantic forest path that leads from the street to Lutherplatz - pure forest bathing! It is particularly beautiful here when autumn colors the deciduous trees.

April 9, 2024,3. Et. Ith Hils Weg Grünenplan - Brunkensen

So, we've completed more than half of the Ith Hils path. Today we mostly walked along the edge of the forest, which meant we were constantly treated to beautiful landscapes. On the last part of the path we also passed cliffs. The change in weather during the day was remarkable, starting at 17 degrees in the morning and then only …

Hike in the Solling-Vogler region

The signs for the Ith-Hils-Weg are perfect and so after a short orientation break we set off in Grünenplan. Soon it goes south of Grünenplan into the forest and quite comfortably to the water treading facility.

This path runs along the Ith-Hils hiking trail and impresses with the incredibly beautiful, varied landscape. You also have to walk wide farm roads, but this doesn't bother you because of the beautiful view.

The barefoot shoes seem to appeal to slightly different muscles and tendons. But everything is still in the green and after examining my bladder I put it on again today.

Around noon, my good mood is spoiled by the news of the death of a dear friend. This world is so unfair sometimes 🥲
Wouldn't it be nice if our …

ᵂᴱᴿᴮᵁᴺᴳ Shortly after Brunkensen, at the start of my second day of hiking on the Ith-Hils-Weg, the first major highlight of the day awaits: Opposite an old quarry and above a rather beautiful, wild stream lies the Lippoldshöhle (Lippold Cave). It consists of several chambers connected by narrow, dark passages that can be explored. From there, I climb steeply up …
