February 6, 2022,Wanderung um die St. Pöltner Seen inkl. Kaltbaden

Today's activity: cold bathing in the Ratzersdorfer See, location is the nudist area during the regular bathing season. Top weather, good conditions, ideal for a refreshing swim. Then a tour around the St. Pölten lakes to warm up, it helped a lot and was also ideal in terms of length.
