Spontaneous tour change as some sections were currently impassable due to previous rain.

Wet feet included tour
🥾💦
We set off around 1:00 p.m. with a dose of naive lightness. Around 5:30 p.m. it was getting pretty dark. We were in the forest at this point, with about 1 kilometer of water up to our calves and no lamps 🔦. Was a bit spooky 👻. From the Hermann-Löns-Blick the water masses stopped 😅

This time we went to, or rather around, Lake Hemmelsdorf. We could say what it was, to circumnavigate Germany's lowest point (at 39.5 m above sea level), but we only learned that on the way...
So we started in Offendorf. The reason was again the logistics of getting supplies – this allowed for a lunch break in Niendorf.
Unfortunately, large …

It was more like 20km. The recording isn't accurate. I can't explain the scribbled noise at the start...
The start in Hemmelsdorf with the wooden jetty by the lake is beautiful, as are the few other spots along the water, and of course the Aalbeek lowlands with the tower. The sections along the roads are rather tedious: put on some …

The balance between asphalt and green is barely achieved on this loop by the green tip opposite Offendorf, which can probably also get too wet, and the wooden paths/boardwalks and bridges. In early summer, a good mix of sunny and shady sides, with almost 20 km of village idyll included.

There's not much to tell.

Set off with a broken uncle (on Friday during lunch break I had a lot of pain in the bone of my big toe - maybe an infection? It feels like it should crack once and then it'll be fine - on the other hand, lightning shoots through my body from a trapped nerve).
