My father @Sönke, my mother, my dog Mali and I took advantage of the break in the rain today to go for a walk through the Geltinger Birk. It's always amazing what an impact such a storm can have on nature.

At first, I was hesitant about going to the Birk forest because it was just starting to rain. But in retrospect, it was absolutely beautiful to walk through the Birk forest without any people around. A new hut had also been built for shelter. The only sounds I could hear were the birds and geese. 😍

Today I was in the Birk with Sabine and Arne and the dachshund Pelle. They are currently on holiday here on the Flensburg Fjord for a week.
The sun even came out today and we discovered the first spring flowers.
