January 16, 2022, Teutoschleife Sloopsteener Seerunde 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Today we ran the last Teuto loop that we were missing in nice weather. Very nice to walk, but certainly much nicer in spring or summer when the sun is shining.

Despite the drizzle I made my way to Westerkappeln. Past the drinks booth, around the lake, then stop at the honey filling station. At the end I accelerated a bit because it was raining a little harder. But not so wild 😃

Little round at the sloop stones 🥾 the sun 🌞 is shining wonderfully so it doesn't matter if it's a little cool ❄️ warmly dressed 🧤🧣 no problem 😄. There were even people ice bathing in the lake ❄️🏊‍♀️, it's supposed to be healthy 😅 that would be me then too cold 😁

Beautiful, I will definitely do it again 😊

This Teuto loop gets 5 stars from me! It was so nice to run this loop with Jette today. On our tour we also met people who, like me, had adopted a dog from Arche4dogs. Unfortunately, you couldn't walk the entire loop around the lake and had to take a detour, but that didn't give the tour a negative point. There was still too much water in the lake, so that 2 Teuto loop banks could not be used. 🤷‍♀️ The sun felt so good 👍. 🥰🐕

Great hike to the Sloopsteine and around Niedringhaussee - very varied.

It's just a nice little lap that I ran for the second time today. The two highlights are already hidden in the name of the bow. I was lucky because there was very little going on. So I could calmly look at the lake on one of the loungers and watch the waterfowl while diving. Before that, I bought a chilled drink and an ice cream at a break. The paths between the highlights are also convincing: an entertaining round!

One of my favorite Teuto loops and there is not much going on at this time of year either 🤗! 🙋‍♀️🦮
