On the meadow at the entrance to the village of Dachtmissen stands a high pole with a stork's nest at the top. As is usual in this bustling village, a sight is not just there, but in this case the nest is documented on an information board with a picture and text. However, I haven't seen a stork here yet this year... 😉

Fantastic weather and beautiful surroundings, not far from Hanover, near Immensen. Caution: Some wooded areas are closed due to tree felling.
