It was a lovely father-son tour. The inclines took some getting used to. On the way to the "Waldcafe am Forellenteich" (Forest Cafe at the Trout Pond), we were a bit disoriented. But we ultimately reached our destination. We fortified ourselves for the return journey with lunch, followed by coffee and cake. The return journey was marred by a rollover …
