2nd time I've been there too beautiful not far from home and with the boats and sailboats it gives a little air of vacation course vary with passage in the middle of nature and small village with houses 🏠 half-timbered it's like being in Alsace which more is their flower boxes 🌸 are of all beauty I loved it

The holiday is over, let's enjoy the pictures again.
Made a ride in the beautiful Eifel, around the Rursee, with my son. Around the lake there are fewer altimeters than is possible further up the hills, although we still had several steep climbs.
