Today my relaxed tour went through the Hainich National Park. It's nice to see how the forest is left to itself, at least it's still pure nature.

I actually underestimated that there are several "mountains" (hills) in Hainich. So it's unexpectedly often uphill and of course downhill again - that's less unexpected 😉 On paved paths (that's not asphalt) you can still get through Germany's largest contiguous mixed deciduous forest area very well.
