August 19, 2023,Augustusburg - Erdmannsdorf - Augustusburg

Early on we went with the grandchildren and the visitors for a small round for lunch in the Erdmannsdorf blockhouse coffee shop. A cozy nice restaurant.

The path through the forest was shady and not so heated.

Then we went back with the 🚡 cable car 🚡. At over 30 degrees nobody felt like hiking up the mountain.
