Today we went to the beautiful Elm-Lappwald - we wanted to see the Karl-May-Tal and all the other nice things :)
So I threw on my Indian costume and secretly packed cowboy boots with my mistress and off we went to the hiking car park at the Elmhaus. Yes, the Elmhaus itself was somehow …

The weather cooperated. The sun sometimes bathed us in …

After a longer "running" break, we went to the Elm again today between the rainy days. To anticipate: We met two families that were appropriate to the topic, but instead numerous bawling party people with and without loud music in the city and in the forest as if it were Ascension Day. 🙄
Otherwise, as expected, it went uphill along …
