It's a rare moment when we both don't have to work at the weekends. If the weather is sunny too, we are lucky. My wife found 3 tours and I decided by the photos of the tours and how much street is involved which one we would go to. We didn't park our car at the recommended location directly at the castle because we would have to pay. We decided to park a little bit away which didn't cost anything but a few hundred meters to walk. This is the complete tour.
| ➡️ 12,1 km | ↗️ 350 m | ↘️ 400 m | ⏳ 3:11 |
We started at the castle. My wife took some nice photos but we could not see everything. Some parts were closed and elsewhere was under construction and restoration.
This was the first photo after we came out of the parking lot.

When we got there we had to go a little bit on the street before we could sideways between the houses and enter the forest. Here are some photos from there and the little river there. Our tour followed sideways belong the Wupper which passes also through Wuppertal where the suspension railway runs above the river. You see the Müngsten Bridge with it later in the photos.

Looks like a great tour and you had great weather!! Did you have plenty of refreshments and food with you?
Nope... We just had a banana, a protein bar, and some water with us. We usually don't take much food with us but enough water.
From the pictures can be seen that it was great and tiring day))
Yes.. It was tiring but not too exhausting.

Wonderful pictures, Chris! Even though it was tiring it seems, the beautiful scenery must have taken away the tiredness.
Does you wife also do kettlebell workout? She is equally fit to you to have such a long hike!
Thank you! 🙏
My wife does kettlebell workouts with lighter weights but not as excessive and heavy as I do. She was a pro swimmer when she was young. With kettlebells, my wife was for the first time interested in how I work out. Soon she learned how versatile and effective kettlebells are.
Sorry, I could talk for hours about kettlebells or other topics, where I've read and learned a lot. 😅
Fascia, nutrition, cells, health, muscles, kettlebells, fitness, and much more
That looks like a beautiful place to visit! I appreciate you nibbling on nettle buds. I nibble on medicinal plants all the time, and yes, they are super beneficial. Walking barefoot on the balls of your feet is excellent! That's how I've been walking for more than five years now! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I can only imagine how healthy you are living there. 😀 I have barefoot shoes for a while now and used them to workout, in my free time and for hiking. But I just recently read about the barefoot walk on the balls. Read the book 'Bewegung liegt in deiner DNA' (Movement is in your DNA) and there were so many to learn and relearn. How long did it take for you to completely switch over to the barefoot on the balls walk?
I've been very healthy all my life, partly from how I grew up, and partly from my own learning and realizations about what is truly beneficial and healthful. Living where and how I do now does bring that to a whole new level, too. That's marvelous that you have some understanding and experience of the benefits and importance of walking barefooted and on the balls of the feet.
Walking on the balls of the feet is quite necessary here, as it's important to be aware of where and how I'm using my feet on the often very asymmetrical and sometimes sharp terrein (lots of lava rocks). I could speak on this subject quite a lot, as there are many layers to it, both energetic and physical (different levels of the same thing). That book sounds great! And yes, unlearning, learning, and relearning is always important, but even more so now as we realize that much of what we've been conditioned and programmed to believe about most things is wrong, or at least not entirely accurate.
Before I came to Hawai'i, I was barefooted quite often, as it always felt good to me. Once I came to Hawai'i (over five years ago at this point), for the most part, I was barefooted most of the time. It took quite a while, however, for my feet to fully acclimate, because, as I mentioned, the terrain can be quite rough and sharp in places, and so I had to learn to have much greater awareness of how to walk here well. Now I only use shoes if I go into a store. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Very nice pictures. What country is this? your wife is very good photographer, you sure you asked for her permission for these pictures? LOL good work guys.
This is Germany. Should I ask her again? What if she has forgotten that she gave me permission? 😂

Nice you visited my home town of Solingen. Your pictures of the Münstner Bridge are great.
Nice to see a fellow Komoot user as well.
Have a nice week! !ALIVE

Yeah, I use Komoot nearly every time I hike or check tours in specific areas. The tour in Solingen was really lovely.
Enjoy your week. You got a new follower.
You, too. I wait for more semi-barefoot hikes. 😎
I already posted a few hiking tours but back then I had hiking boots. I think I posted my Zugspitze tour but I didn't post anything about the Torrent de Pareis. These two tours were the biggest I have ever made and this was before I entered Hive.
Hello chaosmagic23 What a nice time you and your wife must have had. That was a great hike 12 km is 7.4564543 Great job! It is so beautiful there and that is wonderful you had a non-alcoholic beer 😊👍
The castle is amazing and I love the house with the carved wooden eagle on it. The eagle carving is beautiful!
That's good to know about nettles being edible. What do they taste like? Have a great rest of the weekend and week ahead! Barb !BBH !CTP
Yeah, walking in the sun and having to drive leans me to no alcohol. 😃
I like these old houses with wooden beams in them. The translator told me, they are called half-timbered houses.
The nettle buds taste a bit nutty and lightly sweet. Beware of when you pick them or the leaves. Don't touch the leaves on the upper side roll them together and rub them between your fingers. This will destroy the nettles and you can eat them.
Yes, that's great about the sun and walking. It's so good for you. 👍 😊
Those houses sure sound pretty inside. Half-Timbered houses sounds cool. There use to be houses like that I remember those houses when I was a kid and went to other peoples homes with my parents. Oh wow that's cool about the nettles. They sound delicious! Have a great week ahead. !BBH !CTP
Most people have no idea, how important the sun (building vitamin D) and walking are. I just finished reading a book called 'Movement is in your DNA'. Every cell in your body is made for movement and needs it. Every cell! I could write a novella about this. 🤣 This means, if you don't move your body, you more or less will get sick after a while. This could end up with problems in your joints, back pain, high blood pressure, heart disease, disc prolapse, etc.
Same to you... have an awesome week.
Yes you are correct. When you get older at a certain age you don't want to stop exercising. It is what keeps you younger. My mom stopped exercising in her 80s and went down hill so fast. Yes I have a vitamin D3 deficiency and it's important for your bones when you get older and even when younger. Exercising walking and weight bearing will keep your bones stronger as you age. There is much more on this. Thank you. 😊 !BBH !CTP
Yeah, there is def much more on this. So many beneficial things happen in your body. We could talk for hours about this. Just woke up and it's time to go to work. Have a nice day!
