July 13, 2024,Katharinenweiher – Picknick-Insel im Inselweiher Runde von Merzbach

Nice hike...
without a picnic
🧺
There was no bridge to be seen there either 😂
But a small family of ducks made themselves comfortable on the small island.
We wouldn't have wanted to disturb them anyway...
Some places in the forest were very muddy...
