April 11, 2025,P11 "Niester Riesen" Premiumweg - Run 🏃🏻🏞️

This morning, I set off again on one of my favorite premium trails in Frau Holle Land. 👌🏻😍
The starting point was the parking lot at the Königsalm near Nieste. The first highlight awaited me right at the beginning of my run: the "Niester Riesen," a natural monument with impressive giant trees from North America.
