Waldesruh is the name of this wonderful place. A nice place to rest and linger. Here the small brook Rehmecke flows past, in which various water wheels (Schlapperrad) turn. Very very nice.

August 14, 2021,Golddorf Route Bödefeld / Bödefelder Hollenpfad
Today we went to the "Golddorf" Bödefeld in dream weather. The Hollenpfad was tackled. (The planet path also starts there).
A great, often pathway trail on the saga of the Hollen, who used to live in the rocks by the Hollenhaus, were kind to the good people and rewarded them with gold, but punished the greedy - so the legend …

I really liked the Bödefeld Hollenpfad. Since the stupid Komoot in the middle said the tour was over, I reconstructed it. That is why there is a wild mix of photos.
The tour was mainly in the shade and had large parts of the path. The village of Bödefeld is very pretty. The water treading pool right on the hiking …

Spontaneously went to Sauerland for an overnight stay. Today we walked one of 12 Golddorf routes, the Hollenpfad. A beautiful and entertaining hike with some paths, streams and several bridges to cross.
But it was often very shady and cold, but I would have liked to have filled up with a lot more 🌞 and light 🙈🙃 on this wonderful …

So my last Golddorf route has been hiked!
Start/Finish: Hiking car park at the church, Bödefeld
From the church I followed the hiking signs and over pretty muddy paths. Then I went over cleared trees and uphill to the Hollenhaus. The Hollenhaus is a place of the soul and a lookout point. I went over the ridge path past the …

Last year I found out about the Bödefeld Hollenmarsch. For me the opportunity to try a tour with altitude difference.

So today I did a bit of a test hike on the Hollenpfad. A first challenge was the ascent to the Kehlenberg with 621 meters of altitude.
