The sun is shining🌞, so it's time to take a walk 🤗. So the Geesthacht Elbe Island Trail was a perfect fit. The route mostly follows small paths, alternating between views of the Elbe. I wasn't aware that the tour includes a small motorboat harbor and plenty of nature and wildlife.

Before a villain sets off, we laid siege to Greenland today in solidarity with the Danish crown 🇬🇱. AND: we weren't the only ones!

The icy wind 🥶 hardly deterred anyone from watching the frosty spectacle on the Elbe River and the beach of the Geesthacht Elbe island 😲🤩.

Afterwards, we circumnavigated the Elbe island to complete the tour 😃🔝.

Beautiful route always along the waterline.
A great hike in all seasons. Up to the western tip you mostly share the meadow with cattle, but don't worry - if you don't hurt them, they'll stay peaceful.🐄🐂🐃😉

No one is an island, all to themselves.
Each of us needs someone from time to time.
Someone to show us that we are not alone.
But who says that someone can't have four legs? 😀
[First part traced back to John Donne (1572–1631), rest unknown]
