Actually hat-scarf-glove weather today 😏, but at least found a piece of dry Germany on the journey home. A really relaxed round on a well-developed tourist bike path. In summer the 🐻 will definitely be tap-dancing here (oops, a bad guy just got shot in Italy).
In the end in the sun ☀️ enjoyed the delicious cake from the Birkach …

Watching the special ships pass through the locks on the canal was particularly interesting. Today's motto: "Brevity is the …
