Travelog post for: Virgo

Hi Mummy,

we took a long walk today along the so called "Obstweg Leichlingen" (translated it must be something like "Route of Fruit"  ). Leichlingen is a small town, halfway between Remscheid and Cologne.. This path is following a route through traditional orchard meadows, along homesteads and through rural hamlets. It is about 9 km long.



We had to follow the apple trail marking.



You can find many information boards telling you facts about fruit, the landscape and so on.



Katja told me that we were a bit late, most of the apple trees were not blooming any more. Katja said two or three weeks ago the whole region must have been an sea of flowers.





You can also find those half-timbered houses here.



We walked along picturesque farms and houses.





We found those wooden pigs









We came back to the town than.



Everywhere farmers were working on the fields.



In the gardens we already found lots of flowers.









We also took a short walk in the city centre of Leichlingen.



This is river Wupper, which is already flowing under Muengsten Bridge. Not too far from here, about 9 km, it is flowing into river Rhine.





We had an ice cream and drove home afterwards.

Bye
Virgo
