March 7, 2026,Blick auf die Ziemestalbrücke – Ziemestalbrücke Runde von Ziegenrück 🥰💚☀️🥾🌳

Today I spontaneously went hiking in Ziegenrück, Thuringia. The scenery there is truly beautiful. Part of the trail runs right along the Saale River – simply gorgeous. And to top it off, the weather was perfect with a bright blue sky. ☀️
