August 6, 2022,Fahrradtour durch das "Land der Tausend Teiche"

We spent this weekend in the "Land of a Thousand Ponds". The starting point of our bike tour is the small campsite Plothener Teiche, which is highly recommended.
Our tour takes us past many ponds, through forest and beautiful views. Very idyllic and relaxing.
