...if you are not called..." But today he called 😀, so we set off... Nice hike with birdsong; we only met two hikers 👬. At the monument plateau, it felt colder than 3° C. ☕️ Tea was a good decision...

A lovely hike from Jesuborn to the monument. My wife said it for what felt like the 100th time. We always enjoy hiking here - beautiful paths, still relatively intact forest, wonderful weather - what could be better?
