January 20, 2024,Winter-Wanderung Schloß Burgk

Sunshine and -5° lured us outside today. Don't think about it for long and head to Burgk Castle.
I haven't been there in winter yet. And what can I say, it was worth it.
The pictures say more than words. Highly recommended and well attended today.

Woof! This is Ally 🐾 writing – four paws, a keen nose, and of course, the chief reporter for this round.

It was great over the wooden bridge and back to the castle afterwards we had a bite to eat in the 🏰 castle barn. A better …

Today I hiked a beautiful round with my sister-in-law. It was actually a good 7 km, but my battery was empty and it didn't record the last 500 m.. such a hassle too😂
The trails were so beautiful, and peaceful. Most of the time we didn't meet a soul 🥰

Today again used the wonderful weather and turned a lap around de Saale. It was a wonderful view today, which you don't always get there. The sun, the clear air. 🤘🏻
