    Nordic walking

    At this point, I'd like to quickly say something about the source:

    Namely, to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909–1979), known to a wide audience for his wordplay and "Noch'n Gedicht" (Another Poem), with a short four-line poem:

    "There is certainly much beauty in the element, the wet one. Because one can drink the water. But one can also choose not to."
