The magic of the Obstweg: A Bergisch foray
The mountains are calling! And for those who love the sound of the wind, the chirping of birds and the feeling of freedom, there is nothing better than a hike through the picturesque landscapes of the mountains. One such hike is the Obstweg, part of the Bergisches Streifzug, which is located in Leichlingen.
A brief overview
The fruit trail stretches over a distance of 5.8 kilometers and offers hikers the opportunity to climb 113 meters. But it's not just the distance or the elevation gain that makes this route special. It is the experience, the diversity and the beauty of nature that makes it a must for every hiking lover.
The diversity of the path
While many hiking trails often only offer one type of landscape, the Obstweg surprises with its diversity. From narrow paths that lead through dense forests to wider paths ideal for walkers and connoisseurs, this trail offers something for everyone. And the best part? The fruit trees! In spring, especially in May, the fruit trees bloom in all their glory, making the path a real feast for the eyes.
Some tips for the hike
Although the Fruit Trail has its own magic at any time of the year, spring is undoubtedly the best time to visit. The fruit trees are in full bloom and nature is coming to life. And after a refreshing hike, there's nothing better than relaxing in a cozy beer garden and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings. However, it should be noted that part of the path passes through towns, which means that you can occasionally hear the noise of civilization.
The conclusion
The Obstweg is more than just a hiking trail. It is an experience, a journey through the beauty of nature. Despite its short length, it offers a variety that is rarely found. From narrow paths through dense forests to open spaces with flowering fruit trees, this trail offers a mix of everything. There may be moments when you hear the noise of civilization, but that shouldn't deter hikers. Because at the end of the day, it's the experience, the beauty and the memories that count.
