Donation hike for cancer aid: 32 hikers master 24 km!

On December 28, 2024, an event took place in favor of the German Cancer Aid, in which around 32 participants and 2 dogs mastered the approximately 100 -Kilometer circular route around Grünberg. The donation hike was organized by Karin Rühl and started after a sunny morning with temperatures around the freezing point at Grünberger Marktplatz. The participants conquered several stages, including a first stop after 4 km at the train station in Göbelnrod, as well as stations at the playground in Saasen and a round of arches via Reinhardshain. The entire hike ended in Grünberg again after about 24 km and 5 hours and 48 minutes.

A second group of long -distance hikers, which belonged to Rühl, hiked a slightly different route that led through Lumda, Atzenhain and Lehnheim. This group arrived in Grünberg an hour earlier than planned. During the hike, a coffee break was planned in Flensungen at 2 a.m. Rühl, who also reached the 100 km mark at the end of the day, reported difficulties in drinking in the last round at -6 ° C. She was particularly supported by Silja Römer's son who brought coffee.
