On July 5, the team started on an adventurous hike along the Natursteig Sieg
The group travelled to Herchen by train and walked to Mauel - not a long distance, one would suspect when looking at a map. This part of Natursteig Sieg, however, is a winding trail with steep climbs and descents. After more than two hours of up and down, the team enjoyed a coffee break at a lovely café - we were glad the weather let us sit outside! Hours later we had a picknick on the banks of the Sieg before heading to our final destination, an old castle where we had dinner. On the way, we visited North-Rhine Westphalia's largest waterfalls, the Siegwasserfall. In the end, it was nice to be back on the train after more than 20 km of hiking.
