August 1, 2021,Friedwald - Varenholz

Nice round on well-paved paths.

Mud and slush are never an issue here.

We only started at 12 noon, but still nothing was going on, and that on a Sunday ...

The signs for the Weser Uplands view are new, but live up to their name.

PS: The tree on the 3rd picture foreground center is ours😉

Elderberry smells everywhere, luckily we put some in beforehand for fresh jelly 😉 On the way to the castle park, the many e-bike pensioners were a nuisance, but didn't know that there is also a cycle path 🤷‍♂️ Yesterday was probably a small party, The colorful T4/5 carts were still standing around everywhere...
Let's see everyone …

December 19, 2021,Biershöhe – Weserbergland-Blick Runde von Stemmen

In the nicest drizzle 💦 we're off ... Forest paths naturally muddy to the power of ten. Otherwise a nice round that offers a beautiful view in good weather. 🌳🪵
