The path leads us idyllically along a narrow forest path directly along the banks of the Schwentine.

The beautiful autumn weather lured us back to the Schwentine.
With the rising fog, it was particularly mystically beautiful at first...

Finally time and leisure to go on a nice tour with Hundiii 🌿🐕.
After the vet visit, the Schwentine Preetz/Rastorf was a good option.
A really nice little tour with the pretty Rastorf estate, although some buildings still need to be renovated. But the tour is exciting and chic.
It's quiet all the way around, but towards the car park …

'The overload overlord is in the house'* and that urgently needed to be counteracted today 💪
So off to the countryside, listen to the raindrops and wind, look at the water, and get a little exercise...

We have never walked this section of the Schwentine before. It is a beautiful loop, the return route of which runs along the northern Schusteracht. There are gnarled oaks along the path, a bit of a jungle feel from dead wood and beautiful reflections in the water.

The warm light, the rustling of the leaves, the wind enticed us to take a little walk along the Schwentine - it was wonderful to listen to the crackling of the acorns and beech nuts and to enjoy the peaceful silence...
