Abandoned Sailboat in Naturpark Thüringer Schiefergebirge/Obere Saale

Highlight • Structure

There used to be water at this point in the small bay - but there hasn't been for a long time.
It seems that this boat with a very beautiful figurehead fell victim to the drought

March 17, 2024,Hohenwarte-Stausee 🐕🌲🥾 Hermannfelsen (♟️226)
