Wellingtonia Grove (Giant Sequoias) in Welzheim

Highlight • Natural Monument

There are many sequoias in one place here, and others in the city park. It's really amazing to see these giants, some of which are 150 years old. 🌲🌲🌲

This beautiful hike is highly recommended. The signage is excellent. The paths are mostly unpaved.

Small but nice, as always.
Today I was looking for a short tour for Zoya with loooots of water and decided on one of my little favorite routes.😎🤩


Pure enjoyment for Zoya!
We were all alone. It's idyllic and beautiful there, no matter the season.🍀🌸


Warm greetings to you all❤️

Hello everyone,

Today we were out in the Römerwald forest again. It's always so wonderfully quiet there after a short while, just the sound of the stream and the forest...it was lovely today...late yesterday evening, some complete idiots were already testing out tomorrow's fireworks...dozens of rockets went off...but all that stuff is getting cheaper and cheaper...and apparently sales were even …

This after-work hike today wasn't quite as beautiful as I remembered this Fairy Trails 🧚 hike being😏
A lot of it had been cleared, the paths weren't quite as idyllic...
Maybe it was because of the workday😵‍💫 I had just had; I just wasn't really warming to this little hike...
@Nicole mit Henry's enthusiasm was also limited😅
But it might …

My last day of vacation... It finally had to be another 🧚🏻‍♀️fairy trail hike🧚🏻‍♀️. I love the Welzheim area 💚💚

The “Roman Forest” is one of the premium hiking trails and is therefore easy and completely relaxed to hike. Just enjoy the wonderful nature, meet little to no people and let your mind wander 💚💚

I did this little nice tour yesterday after I had a dental treatment in the morning😱.

the plan was to run the Bernhard-Drixler-Weg today and thus cover the remaining kilometers to the annual goal. But it rained soo hard that the somewhat shorter Fairy Trail was rescheduled.
A very nice, varied round, in summer with 3 different places to stop for refreshments. Today, of course, a mud game at a high level, but still nice
