Actually, rain was announced again and again for today. But between two rain showers, a hike is also good. And that's exactly where I stapled the extra tour "Wacholderheide". ;-)

Beautiful well signposted circular hiking trail. The weather was nice, but the wind was cold, and we started at the parking lot in Münnerstadt. You always have to follow the red W. The first highlight was the Hainberg tower, we continued to the picture oak and via the valley church to the juniper hiking trail. Overall a great tour 🙂

500 tours with Komoot - I am proud of myself and my hiking friends.

The paths and the landscape are quite nice but rather boring. We liked the juniper heath the best, but there are much nicer versions of that too. At the end there is a long stretch through allotment gardens.

The "Extratour Wacholderheide"
isn't just the two of us doing the hike today –
Tom and Marita are joining us –
so the four of us are: "It's so beautiful!"

Soon, it's time to dig out coffee and cake
from our backpacks,
and enjoy them –
that's something we really like!
