Today's tour took you along beautiful paths to the Hermann Monument. There were plenty of bathing opportunities for the dogs and a shady bench for us from time to time.
So: great vacation day😊☀️

This is what a tour looks like if you don't walk to Komoot and there are sometimes no signs for the paths. Over hill and dale, through stinging nettles and thorns - it was still nice and upstairs at Hermann's surprisingly empty.

The Pivitker Water Trail💧 is one of the 18 Hermannshöhen tour tips and is really worth seeing, as you hike past four lakes.
As this circular route is a bit short at around 5.8km, I said "good day" to Hermann↗️↘️😃.
This meant I was able to collect more km on the Hermannsweg 😃👍.

After crossing the road, the trail continued steadily uphill with a great layout. At some point, we either missed the right turnoff or the sign was no longer there. Thanks …

For 4€ you can also climb the monument and have a great view. After the descent you will pass various bodies of water. I actually discovered a …

... the tour looks pretty unspectacular, but we had a lot of fun! Komoot was a bit inaccurate .. if paths are drawn in, they are walked ... whether with machete or with climbing equipment .... just stupid that we had forgotten both ... and go back one way ... never! A cloudy November day ... and we laughed the …
