With my four-legged sniffer, the time passed far too quickly today, and it was great, as were the subsequent laps in the electric kart 🏁 on the Battlekart track in Cologne – something completely different with a high fun factor 👌🏻

Hi everyone, it's an easy route that you can hike. It goes through a lot of fields, and every now and then you get a glimpse of the lake district. Keep your head out and just walk. 🥾😜 For train enthusiasts, there's a section along the railway tracks. ❗

Yesterday on our hike, we actually discovered a lake where swimming is permitted.

A rarity and very beautiful to see.

There's a small beer garden right on the beach, offering snacks and drinks.
You can relax comfortably on the loungers provided and enjoy the holiday feeling.

Thanks, Heidrun!

@Krabbe had called for a circular hike around the Hitdorf lakes. Fifteen hikers, both men and women, followed, enjoying the nature and seeing familiar faces again.
It was a beautiful day, ending with a delightful meal and drink.
