A bit too much water after the rain but still a nice hiking area.

December 15, 2024,meinweg, over de heide

walk across the heath, the leaves are off the trees. As a result, you can clearly see the Bosbeek between the trees. Around the Elfenmeertje and the Slenk, pruning has been done. Pines and other trees have been removed to prevent overgrowth. By keeping the area open, this is good for adders, frogs and lizards, etc.

Today I walked the second part of the Msinvennen. With an extra loop so that I also went to the Elfenmeertje and the Kombergen. Loop is not completely on komoot due to a small error. Beautiful route especially because the heather is in bloom everywhere, there were also many people on the road.

Purple, purple, purple…..beautiful purple. Purple all around me this morning in De Meinweg National Park. How beautiful the heath is in August. I'm early today, it's still nice and quiet. Enjoy that silence and the beautiful morning light.

Mönchengladbach (Borussen Hotel) came to Wuppertal and what could be more obvious than a hike in the border region between Germany and the Netherlands.
Bog and marshland, sandy paths, almost no incline.
