Kent Connarie Spring and Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

It's a shame that this spring is labeled "No drinking water".

There is also a small, shady resting place here.

Above the Girsterklause and at the Girsterklause there are other resting places.

The heavy rain the day before definitely left its mark 🙈

There are 4 stream crossings on the route (I assume that they are not that high otherwise), it is easier with sticks (I looked for thick branches). Some stepping stones were flooded, so wet feet were inevitable (well, better than standing knee-deep in the current or slipping and completely …

Although the official length is 36.7 km, I actually walked around 40 km, because my phone died at the end, I started earlier than the starting point and I also took a few wrong turns.

Alright folks, this is the first time I've complained! I don't recommend this tour, it's a total rip-off of tourists! 2/3 of the 38 km are roads through villages, roads and forest highways! There are no places to stop for refreshments!!! 1 drinking water station to refill and otherwise just asphalt or gravel. Nothing worth seeing! My worst experience so …

Unfortunately, the mobile battery was flat in front of me. I closed the tour with a good hump at the market place, km 40.

Equipped with three options (end of the hike in Moersdorf, end of the hike in Herborn or complete tour 1) we wanted to see …
