In great weather we went on the Bergisches Streifzug 4, the Obstweg in Leichlingen.

"WITH THE APPLE THROUGH THE TIMES"

Apples are not only the favorite fruit of the Germans, they have also shaped world history: from the “apple of discord” of the Greek gods to the fallen fruit that is said to have rudely woken the physicist Newton from his afternoon nap and inspired the law of gravitation, to the bitten apple Company …

Finally summer temperatures on August 6th, 2024. So today after work I went for a little hike. The Leichlinger Obstweg (mountain trail 4) was ideal for this. The fruit trees were quite full. But keep your hands off, it's not the hiker's property.

Beautiful, small themed hiking trail 🍐🍎 with little snacks along the way and beautiful views all the way to the Siebengebirge and the Eigel. We only recognized Leverkusen 🤷‍♀️ A big treat at the end was a delicious ice cream 🍦

A nice tour, but somehow the route I had picked out on the internet was a bit different and of course there were a few people on Easter Monday. Unfortunately, there were only 2 benches along the entire route, so I switched to another path and sat down on the edge of the field to eat something.

Small afternoon tour if you are already on the move in the Bergisches Land. From Leichlingen with a wide view, but almost only fixed paths with asphalt and a few meadow orchards. You almost have to look for them...but then they are very beautiful.

Short hike from Leichlingen to check on the blooming fruit trees. It probably needs a few more warm days.
Unfortunately, the paved sections of the path predominate, which reduces the fun of hiking.
