Highlight • Lake

Great way right on the water. A little further away from the reservoir there are other paths that are significantly less frequented.

The heavy rain has done the dam good. It's slowly filling up 👏. Water flows in from countless small springs and streams.
However, I hope that the flooding of the swelling rivers will not cause any damage to the affected residents✊️✊️✊️
Nothing, despite the rain is good for us 👍. Even if I prefer the sun, of course 😊😉.

Today I joined a hike organized by the SGV-Buschhütten.
Apart from myself (SGV-Hilchenbach), there were also guests from the SGV-Krombach and SGV-Ferndorf.

A nice tour, we were also very lucky with the weather.
We stopped at the Old Warden's House, but I would pre-order there.
At the moment the approach is a bit tricky, depending on which side you come from, there is a construction site
