Es war Nachmittag des 21. September 2022, als ich mich entschied spontan wandern zu gehen. Einige Tage vorher, während einer kleinen Recherche zu einem Gedenkstein in der Pöppelsche – welcher an das Ertrinken vier Jugendlicher 1752 erinnern soll – bin ich irgendwie über Bildersuche durch das Blog ‚Die Schlenderer‘ gestolpert. Dort berichten sie von ihrer Wanderung durch’s Pöppelschetal.
Mir ist das Naturschutzgebiet bereits bekannt gewesen. Vor einigen Jahren hatte ich mit einem Kumpel während einer Wanderung schon ein kleines Teilstück gequert. Es führt, so man will, ein kilometerlanger Weg neben und aber auch pfadig direkt durch das Naturschutzgebiet, der das Tal faszinierend erlebbar macht. Es ist wirklich toll da…
