Ice Pond (Fischbach)

Highlight • Lake

Fischbach's former refrigerator, who likes warm beer?
The view of the pond is picturesque, as are the paths of the geese and ducks.
If you feed them, be prepared for a rush 😁🦆🦢👌

Today I went into the forest near Nuremberg. It is a very interesting forest and has a lot to offer. I walked through the back part of Nuremberg to get to the Reichswald forest. This was very easy and extremely relaxing. In the forest I first went past the zoo to the Schmausenbuck quarry. The quarry is easy to see …

So we had to reschedule at short notice and head to the "Tiergarten" tram terminus for the afternoon tour through the Lorenzer Reichswald forest. Ruby, who suffers …

Nice autumn hike in very close areas. The coming out of the sun made it very pretty at the ice pond. There we were overtaken en masse by the "mega marchers" (50 km in 12 hours). 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👣
