November 2, 2023,Drover Heide Wanderung aufs Geratewohl ohne festes Ziel.

A spontaneously decided hike through the Drover Heide. According to the weather forecast, it wasn't supposed to be a nice day today, but we wanted to at least get some oxygen and then we just decided to go for a walk. And it was a very, very nice little hike with passages we were unfamiliar with.
