Nice walk through green area.
The start was very good, a meadow with 10 storks, lots of red with white dots mushrooms, I love it!❤

Unfortunately had to cut off the last piece due to lack of time, therefore along a busy road 😢. You can also keep walking through the greenery, then the total walk is 10.5 km
