The paths around the Hufeisensee should now be completely asphalted. That is laudable. The unpaved part of the round is currently more for rubber boots. 😃

February 14, 2023,Halle: Um den Hufeisensee ☀️⚪️⛵️

Early spring day on the Hufi 🌾🌞 I finally wanted to walk the inner curve of the horseshoe, which I had previously avoided. Beautiful natural path, it would be less suitable for my bike. However, I always stayed on the path, only some pictures didn't want to stay with me 😆.

Wow, it was cold today at the Hufeisensee in Halle. The icy wind froze my face and hands. 🥶
Luckily the sun was out...

The Hufeisensee, named after its shape, is my current home lake, which I have often circled running 🏃, hiking 👞👞 or cycling 🚴.
