November 5, 2023,Zwischen Elbe und Jeetzel – Hiddo-Steg Runde

The circular route near Hitzacker begins at a parking lot and leads mostly on narrow forest paths to Hitzacker and there are lots of beautiful views of the Elbe and Jeeztel. 😍

We're going for a walk with the dog and 👀 small town.
Perfect for 🌧 weather and so that my second pair 🥾 doesn't get completely soaked 🤭.

But the humid day also made me crave a nice cold Hefeweizen 🍺. So I quickly ordered the non-alcoholic version and slurped it down. Delicious!
