We wanted more snow, and since there's less and less of it here, we drove to Lake Wiesbütt.
On the southern shore of the moor, we realized that the transformation of a frost path into a forest road didn't just change a letter, but also brought a lot of mud with it. It didn't look pretty, but everything

That wasn't the original plan. We had intended to walk from the parking lot in Röllfeld to Großheubach, grab a bite to eat, and then walk back. However, while driving through Klingenberg, we saw banners advertising the market's Sunday opening and quickly changed our plans.
