Today we did our evening walk in the Drover Heide. We used one of the many benches in two very beautiful spots and enjoyed the view 😍 and dinner 😋.

The photos speak for themselves.

There is a lot to write about the Drover Heath. I'll limit myself here to the link on Wikipedia:

It should have been a longer tour, but the increasing rain wasn't any fun. Afterwards it was much more pleasant in a Kreuzau beer house.

Today I hiked again in my favorite area.
I feel so good here in the Drover Heide. The change in landscape from heathland to forest is very relaxing and there are plenty of places to rest thanks to the banks.

Woke up this morning with a slight headache after 9 hours of sleep. So, first I took a walk in the blooming Drover Heide.
