E.Feu 💐 had invited me to go on a tour with a few members of the fitness club 🏋️‍♂️.

I gladly accepted 🙋, even though the weather didn't look 🌦️ like it would be particularly great.

From the Falkenstein Dam 🐟, we headed towards Muldenberg to the Meiler 🌭 in Schöneck, where the sun 🌥️ even made a brief appearance.
