It was flea market Sunday again - but for me that means a round trip to the Werratalsee 😍🦢🦆🌊⛵️ and finally coffee ☕️ on the Werra - today with delicious Eichsfelder sour cream poppy seed cake 😋 from baker Weck from Bickenriede

Because of the heat, we didn't go around the lake but only to the marina and back again. Unfortunately, the beach house by the lake was closed, so we couldn't even have a drink together.

Hello @Puckfänger, there is supposed to be a lot of blue-green algae in the lake in summer.

Every Sunday when there is a flea market at Werdchen... get off in Schwebda and walk along the Werratalsee to the flea market, enjoy nature, birdsong, peace and water and eat the best waffles 🧇 at the flea market 🥰 - that's the perfect Sunday for me
