The gnarled roots on the hiking trail remind me that every firm step in life needs a strong hold and even the most winding paths can lead us safely to our destination.

Great winter atmosphere even if it's not enough for ice skating. Without Uranus, I'm now cycling to Schneider with a delicious mulled wine. Maybe enlightenment will come to me then.

A beautiful high forest, with the last part to the Schwarzen Grad being a root path. It's literally over stock and stone.

When the ice melts or after rain, a small stream also flows along the path here.
