August 9, 2025,Nach Hardegg, Felling und Langau zum Reblausradweg

Today we went on a round trip via Hardegg, Felling, and then to Langau to visit dear friends. As a result, we set off for Unterretzbach quite late and were rewarded with a stunning sunset in the Waldviertel. To finish off, of course, we had a nightcap at Winter Michael's. 😋😋😋
