Yesterday I took a second pair of underwear and a towel, went for a mud bath and survived with some struggle. At first, the pool with plenty of water and a ladder in the hope that I wouldn't get stuck on the bottom. Tested at the last 'step', ventured further and sank deep until I found some footing with my 100 kg. Walking went better than expected and most importantly, it was pleasantly cool for this hot cycling day. Then into the thick mud with a board to hold onto, somehow I managed to get into a lying position, was lying on top, the exit was a bit sporty for me at my sick 63 years. Back into the moor water to rinse off and to the pond into the shallow water basin. There I got rid of the last dirt, but the moss-covered wooden floor is quite slippery. With children, it's borderline. There is a shower at the kiosk.

As Kempten residents, we long avoided it, but the path is beautiful along its entire length from Ahegg to Weitnau. I now use the "Protective Wax" from Dynamic and nearby I discovered a pressure washer at the gas station. On the way, I also spotted a hummingbird hawk-moth. Very small but not a hummingbird. https://youtu.be/V8FgTsvxtio
