September 26, 2021,🐵 Gesehen: Werden - Kleine Runde zwischen Pastoratsberg und Brehminsel (wenig km, viel Graffiti)

Actually, we wanted to hike sections 1-10 of the Geotour Baldeneysee (geopark.ruhr/standorte/geopfade/geotour-baldeneysee/), but due to acute slackness and cloud formation, it was over on the Brehminsel. Fortunately, it has largely recovered from the flood damage in summer!
