We're going on a hike between two lakes near the hip town of Klitmøller.

We start at Nors Sø and walk along its shore, always over cattle pastures. The shores of the lake are steep. We climb over the embankment hills several times. From the first, Degnbjerg, we have a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding landscape.

A small hike for four was planned, which then became two hikes for two after a few kilometers. I just say "teenagers"🙄

But the two of us had a nice tour with forest, heath, water and a herd of cows that got in our way😳😱🤣😊

The sun was shining again today. And we did a nice round on Nord Sø.
Unfortunately again with concern for Minnie the cat, who we haven't seen again for more than 24 hours. Let's hope she turns up safe and sound like the first time.
