When we arrived, it had just started to rain. Nevertheless, we set off in light rain. That was exactly the right decision, as the weather improved by the minute. A truly wonderful local recreation area. There's plenty of nature, water, and peace and quiet here. We really enjoyed it and can recommend the tour.

We just had to go out into the rain for a bit and see what the quarry ponds are doing... they're almost overflowing😳. The snails have climbed up the bushes and are sticking to the leaves at eye level. Hopefully they're not expecting such a flood.

Mini after work round on the shortest day of the year. The colors are back 😍. The Rohrköpfle Baggersee shimmers emerald green, a shimmering kingfisher flies past us, the sky is reflected in pastel colors on the water and then wafts of fog drift over the water. Warm 13 degrees just before Christmas... I really liked the snow, but today …
