February 5, 2022,Wanderung durch den Ribbecker Wald

It was a beautiful, it was a muddy tour through the Ribbeck forest. A lot of forestry work is probably being carried out at the moment and the heavy machines are leaving their furrows on the otherwise beautiful hiking trails.

Enjoyed wonderful cakes and delicious coffee in a cozy atmosphere in Groß …

September 4, 2021,Vom Schloss Ribbeck nach Groß Behnitz und zum Groß Behnitzer See

A varied round. The first part was maybe a little bit monotonous, but at the latest from the Groß Behnitzer See it got really nice.
And before that, the apple stocks could be replenished excellently. There is no need to buy any in the coming week.

Waving a cloth helps a lot. In Ribbeck the cafes were full. We were lucky to get a table at the old school. Back to Groß Behnitz we went …
