The Twelve Days of Christmas have fascinated me ever since the pandemic. I signed up relatively early for this guided tour with Julia Friedrich (Frau Holle Land Geo Nature Park). Based on past experience, I knew the places would be fully booked again.

June 3, 2026,Kleine Gerholdsberg-Runde auf dem P11 Niester Riesen

Spontaneously free and immediately used:
A small round with a small nice group on the Gerholdsberg, or also a small shortened P11 round at the Niester Riesen with subsequent coffee on the Alm.

March 12, 2023,P11 Naturdenkmal Niester Riesen bei 4 Grad, Nieselregen (abgekürzt) - 12.03.2023

well without further words - we were happy that no more rain came from the sky - a muddy but nice round with Jutta, Dirk, Kormi, Diego - Uwe, Camii and Milow.
Before that we had breakfast in the May Garden and did some flower shopping - brilliant ;-)

Today the same round with the team and lots of "schnapps breaks".
Finish in the Königsalm with delicious food. 😋

Tomorrow we want to go to the Königsalm as a team and do a little lap beforehand. I already passed it today.
