This lunch we had a delicious pumpkin and pear risotto, with baked pumpkin cakes with goat's cream cheese. 🥰

We then went on a one-hour hike from Nankendorf along the Wiesent to the Waischenfeld outdoor pool, then back to Nankendorf via the high path past the Aukapelle. The weather then got really good again with lots of sunshine.
