Little evening stroll after work ... It's a shame that it gets dark so early 🥴

Short hike to the Heidenheim wildlife park.
Great weather, facility as well. Nice and quiet location and fallow deer, wild boar & Co have plenty of space.
Unfortunately, it was a bit hilly to walk, so that the junior didn't want to walk the whole loop.
But at least almost 4 km. 😅🥳

It's been a long time since I've been active, but today I went to the wildlife park. It was quite pleasant, and of course there were lots of kids. 🦌🌿☀️
