Personally, the reservoir does not allow me. He is not dog friendly and seems very overweight. The bungalows are close together. Toddlers should not walk around outside without supervision, as there are no steep slopes other than a shield.

October 5, 2024,Talsperre Pirk – Talsperre Pirk Runde von Bad Elster

A difficult tour but one with wonderful views. At 61 it's something that pushes you to the limit, but you can do it again and again.

In retrospect, it was a pretty MTB-heavy year, the racing bike complains of neglect ... I promise improvement🙃 ... every turn of the crank, every meter was worth it and gave pleasure😊 ... that's exactly how we continue ... in With this in mind, we wish all fresh air junkies a happy New Year and good luck for 2022🍀
