Quite "unspectacular" on the map, but thanks to the many mandarin ducks, cormorants, turtles, grey herons, and the like 📷, the tour has actually developed quite beautifully...

The tour is definitely enjoyable even in hot temperatures, as it runs almost exclusively through forest and can be varied as desired, as a variety of paths and clearings run through the area.

The owl in the Norwegian sweater is part of the Komische Kunst (Comical Art) in the GrünGürtel and sits in a tree by the Jacobiweiher. Not far from there, you'll find the "Peeing Tree", which we skipped today, however.

The weather was too nice to stay indoors today. So we quickly set up a tour, put on the thick clothes and went to the city forest, where we hadn't been out for what felt like ages.
The colorful highlight at the end were of course the madarinen ducks; The male birds with their brightly colored plumage are a real …

After Leonie was fished out of the water and the cell phone restarted, the hike continued. Very nice tour around 3 lakes in the city forest with an extensive picnic at the Kesselbruchweiher. We traveled a total of almost 7 km and didn't need a buggy for Leonie!
