Looking deep into the South

As we awoke a bright morning was waiting already. We decided to make an early start for a good walk up into the Solling Forest. So after a quick breakfast we left with camera and an extra pullover in the backpack. After climbing for about twenty minutes, the forest road is not steep anymore, mounts only slightly and gives a free view. We always hope to encounter some deer here, or a herd of swines, a fox perhaps - as we did a year ago during wintertime - and Admirer was so lucky to show me a roe jumping away in the thicket.

As we entered back into the forest to follow a more downhill sidepath, to our astonishment there was no more bird song to hear. Silence ruled throughout the translucent green and shadowy forest world. It gives a wonderful feeling to follow a rather unknown path, muddy now and than. Or fossicked upside down by swines. Silently we went on, with a peaceful feeling in our hearts.
Almost unnoticed the “turning point” was passed as we started to mount again from the Ferriesgrund valley up to the Sohnrey heights.

Meanwhile in this sometimes more open part of the forest birds were singing again around us. Hey, thank you friends, the music is turned on again! At the Sohnrey height we had a pause. It is on top of an abyssal old stone quarry, where deer and raccoons are staying during the day. From here you can look deep into the South: from the Reinhards Forest in the Southeast to the Warburg Highlands in the Southwest. No impressive Heights but just a view of a fine soft colourful changing field pattern in the far distance. A morning impression under a changing half clouded sky.
