I didn't want to keep that from you. This morning at 8 a.m. the 6 balloons appeared behind Schellenberg. Uniquely beautiful weather today for this type of aviation. 🤩
In the felts it is still really wintry and occasionally icy. The 🌞 was nice and warm again.

It passes many blueberry bushes, birch and fir trees, and small bodies of water all the way to the peat museum. The road is only paved until Rottau. The weather was also very good …
