Today I was at Helmbachweiher with PWV Insheim and Burrweiler. @🇺🇦Schlofwandler🕊️ and @BH 3000 led the tour. First, we went up narrow paths up the mountain. Then we were a bit on the heights before it went back to the Weiher via the Naturfreundehaus Lambrecht through the Kohlbachtal valley. It was a beautiful tour with a lot of forest today. …
