Highlight • Lake

The east bank here offers something for everyone. For bathers, nudists, mountain bikers or even hikers. When everyone keeps the place clean, the next one is always happy.

Also today from 0800 to 1000 the east bank cleared of rubbish. 🗑️ Only geocachers were here. The anglers took action on the west bank. 🚯
All kinds of odds and ends were collected and properly stowed away for collection. 👍

Today we didn't walk around the dam, but did a lap through the forest. The abundance of different mushrooms was impressive, although porcini mushrooms and chestnuts were no longer represented.
The air was pleasant and there were only a few hikers out and about.

This afternoon we went on a short hike at the Heyda dam, we were really lucky with the weather. In addition to the beautiful views over the lake, we discovered a lot of different mushrooms (edible mushrooms were rather rare), very exciting to see what nature presents in November.
A nice tour 😉!
