Anemone season, and here they are. The white carpet of blossoms is not yet complete, but countless white floral stars are already shining at us from the forest floor on both sides of the Fuhse. The water in the river is clear and flows quickly. The Fuhse continues to expand its meanders. In its curves

From afar, the trees and shrubs look bare. Up close, you can see well-filled buds that promise green leaves and white blossoms. The first delicate leaflets are already showing, and we were able to discover small blossoms as well. The catkins of the goat willow are still shaggy from the rain, but they

Where the forest glows bright green, mosses give it this vibrant color. They cover the forest floor with a fluffy, high-pile carpet. They clothe tree trunks and branches in an elegant, velvety green. They even put a pretty green cap on a small tree stump.



The Old Lake is filling with water again, in which

The trees are still leafless, and the spring flowers, with a few exceptions, haven't yet ventured out of their hiding places. A good time to draw attention to a less conspicuous plant.



Lichens are true survivors. They grow everywhere, not only on tree trunks and branches, but also on a metal gate, on

At Lake Irenen, my two-legged companion transformed into a boat. This greatly alarmed his four-legged companion, especially when he then paddled off across the lake.



As we continued into the forest, Vasco began to howl sadly again and again. Raja, who had initially been grazing in the ditch, soon joined

One last look at the monastery, its stepped gables reaching up into the

Oops, I completely forgot to turn on Komoot 😣. But I take a photo every few meters anyway. That way you can see where we went today.



Blue sky with fluffy clouds and huskies by the water in the sunshine, what more could you want?



The Aller River is high. The stone rows of the fish ladder are submerged and can't be seen.

Luckily, I had planned the tour so that we would cross the small bridge over the Erse River right at the beginning. I had suspected as much. The bridge deck is a metal grid, so you can see right through it. No sensible dog would cross a bridge like that. Well, Raya does cross the bridge, but she's not

The kind of weather that only dog owners venture out in. And so we didn't meet anyone. The leafless forest offers little protection from the rain, but at least it provides some shelter from the wind. Therefore, the rain only falls from above and isn't blown in our faces. On a longer walk in this weather

We had an appointment north of the heath and thought it would be a good idea to take a walk on Wilseder Berg. We soon realized we hadn't chosen a good day for it. The path was either icy or muddy. So we could choose whether we preferred to slip and slide on ice or mud. In places, the path was simply
