October 12, 2021,Abendrunde Duderstadt - Sielmannstiftung und Sielmannhütte "rotes Ahornblatt"

slightly drizzly weather, but after work it is ideal for at least a short walk up to the Sielmann Foundation, on to the Sielmannhütte and back over the borderland strip. Since it was already dark, brisk pace with lighting on the wooded sections.
