hollidays in Hochsauerland

Yearly vacation. This time we went to Hochsauerland. And yes, the name is correct, higher mountains than the Eifel and the Ardennes.
Gps told boss it was a 5 hour drive, but a the end it took us almost 8 hours to get there. German traffic is almost as bad as in Belgium. Meanwhile we know "stockender Verkehr" in a message means troubles on the highway.
But we got there, and the region is fantastic to make long walks (with a lot of height meters). After 3 days we already had around 50 kilometers, but then the good weather (+ 30 degrees) slowed us down. (at least, this was the reason i got from boss, not sure this was completely correct, if you ask me, his legs no longer wanted to walk). So we changed our program : morning = walking, afternoon = visit something in the neighbourhood. I can live with that.
At the end of the week, i was also exhausted, just look a the last picture in the album below.
