Particularly beautiful hall. Not only because of the nice unpaved climb, but also because of the special plateau at the top, where the wind has free play and the special monument catches your eye... only then the view ;-)

A few meters unwound with the RadKumpel. At the home base heap, the view fell on something green in the undergrowth.... unbelievable, a fat fig tree with quite a few fruits. Another scooter race today at the Hugo.Tja colliery and past the Buga in the pouring rain and admired the many fans who held out in the weather.
