New dream bow tested before official opening

Showing Translation

Since we had some time today before the next rain front was forecast, we tried the dream loop Beruser Europablick again. We had already been to the European Monument yesterday, but a downpour with hail caught us before we even started. We initially wanted to wait it out in the car, but then decided to abandon it.

In preparation for my hiking seminar on July 5, 2025, I walked this wonderful, shady circular trail near Berus today.

We will also explore our own values as a compass for life and …

Part of the trail runs along old boundary stones of the German-French border, the Grenzweg (French: Chemin de la Frontiere).
A lovely half-day …

It was an easy, and in some places beautiful, tour for anyone who likes to hike short distances. Meadows and forest areas alternate. I missed the French flair from before. I will …

Unfortunately, we missed a marker or it wasn't there. But somewhere we got a little lost and had to shorten the tour.

This morning I took the day off for a short hike with my hiking friend Petra, who is still on vacation.
We chose the Beruser Traumschleifchen (Traumschleifchen).
Firstly, because neither of us had hiked it yet, and because I've been wanting to go back to the little blue lake in the forest, which we passed on a family hike in …
