The foot and cycle path of the former railroad in Allagen, Warstein. A small bridge in the forest.
The great thing about crossing Europe on long distance road travelling is that one has to stop somewhere on the way to take a break. And this is how I ended up in the village of Allagen, more or less in the centre of Germany, in summer 2024. Since 1975 the once independent municipality is part of the bigger Warstein - known by beer lovers for its local produce.
Following the Möhne river
With the sun setting on this August day, a nearby former railroad turned into a foot and cycle path was as a nice escape to stretch the legs. Some parts of the path flow in parallel with the tiny Möhne river, while it takes just a little bit of distance from the water stream further west. The watermill about 2 kilometres from the not noteworthy centre of the village of Allagen is a nice turnaround spot.
The sun sets slowly over the landscape.
The trail has some gorgeous trees flanking it.
An old railroad bridge still functions today, for pedestrians and cyclists.
Open landscape near the trail.
The trees provide a nice cooling down effect during summer.
Walking from darknes into the light.
