Am Wald – Tour around Michendorf and Nuthetal, walking trail

Living country culture in Nuthetal, creative from tradition Michendorf and surroundings. This hiking tour combines enjoyment, nature and cultural experience. It is very quiet, you hear only the gentle buzzing of insects, the chirping of birds and now and then the cawing of a jay. You smell the delicate, sweet scent of fresh hay and wild flowers. In the blue sky a buzzard draws its slow circles. Lost in thought, you suddenly hear an approaching horse, its rider in precious uniform with flashing buttons and a noble headdress. Is he on the run? Is he a messenger of the king? Even before you explore this, he is long gone in the distance. Disappeared in the direction of the windmill along the stream - or into the forest after all? On this tour you can experience your own story where you might not suspect it.
