March 22, 2025,Familientour: LandStreifer Raesfeld „Auf den Spuren Graf Alexanders II.“

We ran this route with our children (8, 10, and 12 years old), two dogs, and two adults. Whether it was for adults, children, or animals, we all had fun. And what I think is important is that it's good to take breaks for a run, even as a family.

Where you go through many gates over many bridges it is quiet and empty late in the evening!
Besides ducks and toads I saw: deer, mice, another dog owner and two joggers. 😉
Romy was able to get her feet wet from time to time and surprisingly I didn't have any problems with mosquitoes either 😅

This was probably the last hike 🙂‍↕️ with such pleasant temperatures this year. Most of the leaves 🍁 have fallen from the trees, so it's all the more wonderful to stir up the fallen leaves 🥾🍁 on the ground. The wildlife park at Raesfeld Castle 🏰, with its deciduous trees, is perfect for this – it was so much fun …

Raesfeld Castle is always a lovely place to visit. That's what I thought again today on my tour on this wonderfully beautiful autumn afternoon.

Whether by bike or, as I did today, on foot, there is a lot to discover.
