Ulrike L.

July 8, 2024, Roundwood Stausee Rundwanderung ☘️

This afternoon we arrived at our holiday destination, where we will be staying for a week. We quickly took advantage of the nice weather with a short walk around one of the reservoirs. Highly recommended if you like shady, narrow paths with lots of pine trees and other trees, lots of overgrown walls on one side, a lake on the other, and always sheep strutting their stuff... 😁👍☘️ Oh yes, and lots of ferns, moss and so on... Ireland, after all 😁☘️
