we were at the Piesberg today. What a great hike. Why I only see this now ... it's amazing. We have been to the Instriemuseum a number of times and also to the Piesberg ... only the hike was missing. We made up for that today. And in Osnabrück there is also a 🦣 sequoia tree 🌳. Absolutely great experience.

With heavy drizzle and muddy paths, an extremely interesting tour around the Piesberg, today a Geopark, which conveys the history of the coal mine and the quarry with exciting information boards. Visibility was poor, so we didn't climb the lookout tower, but bravely climbed the 269 steps. - Anyway, we're wet now.

We chose the Piesberg circuit, especially as I've never been there.
It was a varied tour with many beautiful views. Mi-Ran took the two photos of the spiral …

Did the recommended tour with Kathi without a mountain bike. Great weather with frosty temperatures. There were a few elevation gains too.

Started way too late, after housework and physio...there is definitely room for improvement in my time management 😂 Today I was at Piesberg for the first time and I haven't managed everything by any means 😊 another visit is inevitable at some point, then with the MIK - Museum of Industrial Culture. There is a lot to discover and read …
