Bellenkrappen is a beautiful vantage point. Here, a long and narrow branch of the Altrheim River flows into the Rhine. The Altrheinarm is also conveniently called Bellenkrappen. A beautiful nature reserve on the Reißinsel (Reiß Island).

Testing whether my calf is holding up after a week of recovery. Not really yet. Initially quite okay, but after a while I noticed a slight twinge again. Therefore, I walked the last kilometer to avoid running into the pain.

Today's parkrun is my 22nd – I set myself the goal at the beginning of the year of completing my 25th parkrun (my first milestone). Some people need half a year for that, but it's taking me a bit longer. I first participated in 2018.
