June 5, 2023,Eich: Altrheinerlebnispfad und Blutorangenparfait 🦆🦢🌳

After work in the Altrhein nature reserve
(vg-eich.de/Tourismus-Freizeit/)

After work we went around the area, mostly in the shade, whereby only the last lake is also a bathing lake, and we were therefore able to observe herons, storks, ducks and swans with their offspring in peace everywhere else. That slows things down tremendously, and next time we'll definitely have to …

The lakes are walked around and therefore offer different directions of light. And today the sky was very varied, from sunny to almost dark and many variations of clouds.
11 degrees, the circular route is …

Wonderful calm and wintry atmosphere in nature. Very relaxing.
Exactly the right hike to get used to after a long medical break.

February 21, 2025,Eich: AltrheinErlebnisPfad – Ein wahres Erlebnis🦆🦢🌤

🦆 Instead of hunting for knight's stones in the Palatinate, I lured dear @Natalie to Rheinhessen with various promises: Lots of nature, rare plants, numerous water birds and other animals, which we can observe and photograph in peace from the specially built wooden huts. Plus temperatures that are well above freezing and a small picnic. We also had dear @Taiga-Ente …

Nice tour. Also possible with a stroller. A little muddy at times, but nothing wild. Not heavily attended!
