Grey and 7 degrees with an icy wind, so today I hiked a bit faster than usual 🥶 Ran 4 times across the meadow by the Strombucht to warm up again 😨 There's not much going on on the Lower Old Danube yet, but the mowing boats, sailing schools and beach bars are already preparing everything for the summer season.
