August 20, 2026,"Alter 5er"🥾🦯 - grüner Punkt in Arft🏘️🌲

After my short holiday in the Frankenwald, I continue today in the Eifel.
Starting this morning at 14 degrees at the hiking parking lot at Raßberg near Arft.
I am hiking on the "Alten 5er" and "not completely" following the green dot signage. My hike is the path that was hiked before 2017.

Revival of the winter circuit. This time in 2 stages. I've sneaked a photo of the not particularly spectacular 5 km of the 2nd section on the Hohe 8 here
