Hardly is the brilliant Sunday hike
komoot.de/tour/748281883?ref=aso, my free Monday follows, on which I finally wanted and was able to go hiking again and didn't have to keep any other appointments.

Just before that I had no idea where to go, but then came my beloved @Dolle with his kingfisher and checkered flower viewing
komoot.de/tour/746966038?ref=atd in the lower Seeveniederung near …

Stopover hike home: It's finally getting longer light in the evenings again, so that I can make stopovers on my way home to explore the stretches of land next to the motorways.

spring miracle

Someone quietly woke the trees
the flowers, the birds and the bushes.
And confidence turned on.
It buds, blooms and chirps.
A gentle wind in your hair
and stretched out the legs
sitting on the bench and
squinting in the sun.

Today I had to take my Betty to my parents because I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks. On the way back I wanted to stretch my legs quickly as I drove back along the Elbe. There were lots of cars lining the road and I thought there would be a lot of people. So I got out at the …
