We left the duck pond …

Used the beautiful weather to hike around the Ville. Despite the weather forecast, it hasn't rained yet, but the leaves were falling like rain.😪
That's normal at this time of year.
The paths were all to commit without problems 🔝

Today I continued my tour around the Ville Lakes. I started at the Grubenstrasse parking lot at Heider Bergsee. A bewitchingly fragrant forest welcomed me. The tour was just lovely. And the wonderful evening atmosphere, back at Heider Bergsee, was the crowning glory.
Who can tell me what this fluffy, earth-brown ball is? I've never seen anything like it
