That's relatively rare for me: this morning at 4:50 a.m., I was unfortunately suffering from senile bed-wetting. Although my alarm clock is usually set for 6 a.m., even on weekends, and this morning I checked my watch for the first time shortly after 4 a.m., I managed to get out of my cozy bed 70 minutes earlier. My kettle and …

With the beautiful weather today, I finally went hiking again. After taking the bus to Trier Central Station, I took the train to Wasserliesch a little later and then hiked the panoramic trail there. A beautiful, varied hike with lots of forest, mushrooms, fruit trees, vineyards, water, and even rocks. And if the waterfall doesn't come to me, I'll just …

Nice hike, but a really difficult route due to the weeks of rain. Better to go when the weather is nice! But also choose the direction we took so that you can (almost) stop at the Albachmühle at the end of the path!

It was a nice hike. Even if it was quite demanding. 😅🙈

🅿️ We parked at the market square in Wasserliesch.

There was something of everything here. Very nice narrow paths, great places to rest, the Grana monument, the Loeschemer chapel (with a great view), an old camp, an orchid path, rock formations and the very beautiful Albachtal. 🤩🤩🤩

Since my hiking friend Petra had to work last week but would have loved to come with me to see the orchids, I agreed with her to implement Plan B this week and hike the Wasserliesch Panorama Trail, just to see the Perfeist orchid area.
@Karin joined us again right away, and @Frank also accepted the invitation to join the …
