Extremely beautiful landscape. I like the Birk especially in drizzle or light fog. Not only because she is not so heavily frequented, but because she radiates such a wonderful atmosphere …

July 23, 2023,ja, es gibt schlecht Wetter 🌧

despite good 🌧 🧥 👖.
Because if it's all day 🌧🌧🌧...
The 📱 📷 makes something really nice out of it thanks to its AI 🙃.
So and Ludwig now wants to come out with the truth: He has a "bad front leg" 😪.
A few visits to the doctor, several 💊, x-rayed twice and no diagnosis 🤷‍♀️. Now he's …

March 8, 2024,der Krötenweg ist wieder frei

O.k.... he's not really good for 👀 yet, but that's definitely coming. There is currently zero vegetation where the dike was broken. At some point the path will have a final edition and then it will have to be closed again.

The day today ensnared us with warming rays of sunshine. ☀️ What a contrast to the icy wind yesterday afternoon... 🥶
This circular route led through various habitats for birds, insects and plants. Also today we finally saw our long awaited red-backed shrike and even a pair of avocets. Coincidentally, we also noticed a camera team filming a ranger who …

The round through the Birk starts on the other side of the lighthouse. Very nice round and then a small snack at the kiosk at the end. I walk in the Birk every time I vacation in the area.

When it rained we set off and were then rewarded with sunshine on our round. We parked in 24395 Nieby Falshöft 31, also suitable for campers. We went the loop in opposite directions because of the wind. We didn't walk all the way up to the lighthouse because it was currently is closed and could also be seen well from …

We went for a relaxed walk with our child (5 years) and puppy (8 months). Along the coast and back through the salt marshes.

November 10, 2024,Birk Kurzer Weg

I didn't come up with the idea of taking a walk along the Birk on my own.
Thanks, you know who.
At least I found a few thunderbolts, unfortunately there were no fish, but at least I got a Konik in the end.🤭
