Today Ursel and I decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather and take a walk around the well-filled Glörtalsperre. The past few hours had been characterized by bright sunshine, and the period without rain seemed just right for our little trip.

The Glörtalsperre is always nice for a circuit of 4 km and then go to Haus Glör for a delicious meal. Today it started to rain at 4.30 p.m., so we went to eat beforehand, luckily they still had a place for 4 people free, we only had reserved for 6 p.m., after the delicious meal it stopped so off …

November 26, 2023,☔ VTT: Runde um die Glör 🍁

Despite the "unpleasant" rainy weather at the VTT, we still need some fresh air.
Where if it should be close to nature, but without looking like a mud man...?! 🤔
Hence the experiment with the Glör, which worked quite well.
