January 6, 2026,Der erste kleine Spaziergang ,,2026"🥳

After a crazy and exciting New Year's Eve in Koblenz, a quiet and relaxing walk was in order today.

With a bit of snow and decent weather, the Osthalde in Ahlen was the perfect choice... (very quiet and snowy, very impressive)

Already a small tradition on Good Friday, when the weather permits, a short visit to the slag heap, with the Stations of the Cross in view and enjoying the view from the top. 🤩
