October 5, 2025,Entspannter Rundweg am Speicherbecken Geeste 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Today, the three of us went for a walk around the Geeste reservoir. 🍂

Still, the exercise felt good – a refreshing walk to unwind and take a breather. 🌿

It's always beautiful at the reservoir. And today was no exception! We took advantage of the only sunny moment of the day for this beautiful circular tour. An absolute highlight was the kingfisher, which we rarely saw so close up.
