October 2, 2021,Lippe: Runde auf dem Patensteig

The Patensteig not only leads through the varied Lippe mountains with the wild and romantic Gersiek and Rickbach gorges, but also offers a lot of interesting information on the geology and history of this landscape with many information boards. The path is sometimes very narrow and steep, but extremely well maintained. Unfortunately, the 3 waterfalls in the gorges were (almost) …

In Extertal on the Patensteig.
Artful signposts and plenty of information boards along the hike, which led through shady gorges as well as over heated plains through fields and meadows.
Varied and always reading a legend of the region or looking at installations was welcome, as shady spots were gladly seen today.
The waterfall, however, was only a trickle due …
