The Lippe floodplains are a paradise for bird watchers. Here you can observe various water birds such as herons, ducks and swans. Many rare bird species can be seen, especially in spring and autumn, during the migration period.

Today just a short ride in Lippstadt. It was perfect... when we got back to the car it started to rain 🌧
A quiet ride with no notable highlights 🤷‍♀️

A lovely walk to take advantage of the thaw …

Today we went to the Toten Arm, where the paths had suffered greatly after the tornado. The path along the Karnickelknapp is also accessible again and is no longer under water. The air and evening atmosphere were wonderful today...
