Today we went on a long and extensive hike through the Schwalenberg forests in wonderful autumn weather. The highlights were the Kahlenberg Tower with its view and the amazing fly agaric. Finally, we went through the historic old town of Schwalenberg before the sauna and a great dinner awaited us at the Hotel Schwalenberger Malkasten.

The former raised bog is also worth seeing, which is clearly demarcated by the reforestation with spruce trees. And in the idyllic great crested newt pond I even saw a great crested newt. At least …

We also spotted the first flowering plants …

Comfortable hike in the Schwalenberger forest with my two sisters! 🤗🤗
The first 5km were not that exciting, but the rest of the way was all the more beautiful! ☺🐛🌳🌲🍀

If you do this tour, you should stop at the Waidmannsheilhütte for a moment and postpone the break a few meters later. It is. wonderful to watch the fish and dragonflies at the crested newt water while having a snack. You might even spot a newt

Cold spring round - unfortunately not much blooming here yet. It was probably too cold for the toads found last year 🤷🏻‍♀️
