June 4, 2023,🌳 Vater-Sohn-Abenteuer: Entdeckungsreise in Wennigsen 🌲

Today my son Tamo and I experienced the breathtaking beauty of nature 🌿 in the heart of Wennigsen up close. Our excursion took us through the Wennigsen 🌀 water wheels on a tour specially planned for children, which led us from the forest cat 🐾 to the inviting forest adventure trail 🌱.
