November 27, 2021,Auf und ab im Haxter Grund

The Haxter Grund near Paderborn is simply a pearl for everyone who wants to be outside in beautiful nature without having to travel far. Today I finally ran the 15km variant of the old pilgrimage route again. You have to walk quite a bit of altitude and, depending on the level of training, the pump really gets going, but the …

Finally another long round in Haxter Grund 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻😀
We enjoyed the sight of the blossoms of larkspur, daffodils, anemones and cowslips, the scent of the lush green wild garlic, the views of the Hilligen Seele and Hamborn Castle while slowly going up and down - and we listened devoutly to the singing of the birds in the forest and fields …

Finally a run in the Haxter Grund again. The loop runs mostly on the pilgrimage route, but here and there also makes a detour into the terrain. As a result, some sights or landmarks are almost exactly on full kilometers. This is pure coincidence and I only noticed it on the way because my running watch beeps every full kilometer.
