I don't find this heat particularly motivating. But I can't do without hiking either. I found today's tour mixed in the first part, but more varied in the second. Monotonous pine forests are simply boring.

Strictly speaking, it was much too hot for today's hike.

The loop around the Großer Oelsener See (Great Oelsen Lake) mostly ran through dry pine forests, and while it was a good walk, you only got close to the rather murky waters in a few places.

Nevertheless, we did stop and had the opportunity to refresh ourselves.
