Lovingly designed signposts around Frauensee - in the past few weeks there has been a report in the newspaper about the person who is "responsible" for it. Unfortunately I forgot the name - thanks for the work anyway!

Everyone has their rituals. Some take a maximum of 7 minutes for a break, others their diving certifications.

After a hike, I usually sit down for a leisurely stroll.

Time for peace and quiet... not today. My children are making questionable suggestions. I refuse to repeat even a single one, but I admire their literary attempts.

In beautiful early spring weather, we hiked the Frauensee loop today (suggested by Touringen) and collected three hiking stamps.

It's a wonderful loop, well-marked and with lovely, well-maintained rest areas.

At "Alma's Beech Halls" (photo 18), after the small cottage, we turned off and shortened the hike a bit.
