A bit unusual for me...due to the leash requirement in NS during the breeding and nesting season, Elmo was completely on a retractable leash 🙃
A very pleasant, varied, beautiful walk, and one less Terra Track on my to-do list 💪😜

Walked to the Silbersee today, which is not a lake. Limestone was mined there. When mining stopped in 1930, the groundwater level rose. So the end result was a lake, which has meanwhile also disappeared. A beautiful wooded area with good paths.
