March 18, 2025,Ein Teil des Planeten 🪐 Wegs in Weil der Stadt

Today we set off again with a group from Weil der Stadt along the Kepler Planet Trail, where we learned more than just the information boards. The trail led along the Würm River through the Merklinger Ried. Unfortunately, it was all on concrete paths 🤷‍♀️ The advantage was that our shoes stayed clean 🤣 It was a very interesting afternoon.
