Highlight • Mountain Hut

Unspectacular but beautiful this wooden hut lies in the middle of the forest at the gates of Bad Orb. If you fancy a break away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place to go;)

Somehow, today wasn't my day.

You're cold as ice. I couldn't get the title of Foreigner out of my head. Who doesn't know what it's like when you want to clear your head and the "what if game" is constantly running through your head...

I really wanted to go out today and I was thinking about what could be done today...(weather wise)...
