Last day of vacation, and there's actually some blue sky, so I got the dog off the couch and went hiking 🥾🐶 The weather isn't supposed to get any better this weekend 😉 Along the way, there were occasional glimpses of blue sky, but it wasn't too bad. On the way to Ohlenberg, there were beautiful views of the area, …

July 23, 2024,Ausblick vom Ohlenberg – Ohlenkopf Gipfelkreuz Runde von Helmeringhausen

The Ohlenberg or Ohlenkopf is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Sauerland. Here, at a height of 729 meters, you can enjoy the real summit feeling at the rather impressive summit cross. The climb up the path is quite tough, however.

September 11, 2023,Ohlenkopfrunde von Helmeringhausen

Varied round around the Ohlenkopf with, for the Sauerland, more demanding gradient (we are not in the Alps here 😉).

July 11, 2025,Wanderung Olsberg 🥾mit Glühwürmchen & Fledermäuse

Instead of a full moon hike, we enjoyed a wonderful sunset hike.
On the way back from the Ohlenberg summit cross, we were first accompanied by a few bats 🦇, then countless fireflies appeared and followed us all the way to the car.
Everyone was thrilled by the sight.
Unfortunately, the full moon was hidden in thick clouds.
