The snow has melted away now, but sliding around happily in the mud gave me a nice tobogganing feeling 🛷😅
Merry Christmas, guys 🤗🎄🎅🏻

Special highlights: Simmozheimer Geißberg, Möttlinger Köpfle, Großer Trimm-Dich-Pfad and the downhill trail behind the transmitter mast at Kämpfle. Only the latter was a bit more challenging; I'm all the more proud of having come down it in one go without any problems, especially since it was still wet …
