Today I finally managed to do another morning lap around the dam. I'm "done" with my gardening so far 🤗 It was really good to bathe in the green of the forest again.

Hopefully we'll get back into the swing of things and start Sunday with a walk. You can't stay in the apartment in this weather.

To round off the holiday, we took a leisurely stroll around the Cranzahl drinking water reservoir. Since the entire area around the reservoir is a drinking water protection zone, you can't even get to the shoreline. That means you could get close, but we avoided the area. That's just how it is. 😉
Nevertheless, it was beautiful, quiet, and relaxing.

Fortunately, the announced showers did not materialize, so we did a little lap to stretch the legs
Except for the view of the Bärenkopf mountain, there wasn't really anything exciting 😆
