Today I looked at the Philopophenweg on the Dauner Wehrbüsch again. A few new stones with sayings by well-known philosophers have been added, so it was worth it.
The Wehrbüsch chapel is located on the Eifelsteig and on the "Kleiner Dauner" circular route

A short period of sunshine motivated me to run another lap around the Wehrbüsch, but then it started to rain 🌧️.
No matter, I wisely chose my clothes accordingly ☔ (yes, I had an umbrella at home 🤭) and I didn't get soaked 😆💪

This beautiful, cold and sunny winter air is sure to drive out the nasty viruses 🤧🤧🤧, better than any chemicals.
On today's Wehrbüsch round there was a lot of hair ice to see. Sorry for the many pictures of it, but I think it's a fantastic natural phenomenon.
