Today we hiked in the Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal Nature Park. From the starting point, the Neunbrunnen hiking car park, the path led us through the idyllic Pferdebachtal, an enchanting forest valley with history: fuel and lubricants were stored on the former narrow-gauge railway to Eschwege during the Third Reich. Today, the old route serves as a beautiful hiking or cycling path.

We hardly met any people …
