February 2, 2023,Mit Flocke 🐶 durchs Monbachtal - Runde von Monakam

Today on recommendation with Flocke 🐶 took a ride through the Monbachtal. The narrow path ran partly directly along the creek (or on slippery stones also across the creek) through unspoilt vegetation with a magical lighting atmosphere.
If we had met a hobbit there, we would not have been surprised. We would have just said hello 😉
A great place, …

Today, due to the extreme heat, we looked for a short, shady round with Grandpa and therefore went to the upper Monbachtal again - the valley was beautiful and since we were quite early, it wasn't overcrowded yet, we were accompanied by the babbling of the brook and an incredible birdsong!

July 15, 2023,Wanderung Monbach (Schlucht)-Neuhausen Monbach - Bernhardtsbrunnen – Brücke Monbach , 15.07.´2023

Went for a hike in the breezy, cool forest today in hot weather.
It is a "slimmed-down version" of a typical Monbachtal (gorge) hike.
I don't have a photo of the special highlight "Bernhardtsbrunnen", because this fountain / drinking trough is very popular to cool off.
Start and finish was in Neuhausen, Monbachstraße, in the industrial area.
