Good round in the afternoon, sometimes sun 🌞 and then shade, always a place to rest, whether it's a beer garden or a bench

Contrary to all forecasts, the weather was perfect. So, we headed back along the Werra River toward the start of the Rennsteig trail and to the Werra Dam from the time of German division. Thankfully, all of this is long gone.

Lots to discover along the route, and it's once again very interesting and entertaining.

🤟🙋🏼‍♂️👌🚴👍
