Again the Hiwweltour Bismarckturm.... OK, OK.... could get boring.... But it's not like that. The round is beautiful in every season and you have great views of the Rheinhessen area. Today the first half was just freaking warm... back in the woods and with the wind picking up, the second section was just great.

Today Selina, Cera and I walked the Hiwweltour in Gau-Algesheim. It couldn't have been warmer. Fortunately, there were always shady sections where you could briefly recover from the heat. This tour is characterized by many foresights over the vineyards, the grapes shortly before the harvest are delicious 😍. That definitely makes a good wine.
We were excited about the tiger …

With @Gabriele and the alpine-experienced @Iris, we were out again today on a Hiwwelt tour. Right at the start, we climbed the Bismarck Tower (111 steps, but no schnapps 😭). After that, we continued on beautiful paths through the forest, which was very pleasant, and sometimes along isolated vineyards, always accompanied by magnificent views. A highly recommended hike with a …

A beautiful Hiwwelt tour, the landscape alternates between forest passages and paths through vineyards.

In my opinion, there are no signposts in two places, the bridge is broken, so we had to go back to the first crossing.

A stop at Brauser's Bergschänke at the end of the tour is recommended if you are a little hungry or very thirsty. …

Okay, with this weather and these temperatures, a visit to the outdoor pool would have been wonderful. But we have 'the dog' again and so a Sunday tour was announced. The round is wonderful, a Hiwweltour in Rheinhessen with many views & rest stops. That means don't forget the wine before you just watch the wine grow, rather drink it …
