Enjoyed the sun. Actually, we were supposed to go back over the Grosser Siepen instead of the route. Well, we just didn't have the energy for the hills today. There are still a few days left in the year, then we'll have the other tour too. 😊 @Uwi 🦣🍺 does that count as a moose 😂

I found the first signs of spring on even muddy paths than I thought 🥰. And at some point you absolutely have to stroll through Bracken in the dark again. I love these old street lamps. 😍
