Dog round around Schevenhütte. It's thawing and the forest paths are starting to become a huge mud spectacle 🙈 but it's still ok. Saw a lot of funny characters on the way and at 9 o'clock the way was for us alone. 👍 So now a coffee and then to go shopping 👕👠👛😀🙋 ♀️🐕

Small circuit around the Wehebach dam, with beautiful views. Be careful on the two slopes (quarry and dam area), it can be very slippery there due to scree or when wet.
