March 12, 2023,über den Tiefgraben zum Kohlbuck

Short round from the natural garden pool up the deep ditch and over the Weißensee to the Kohlbuck. Between the Waldschießhaus and Weißensee, the deep ditch was so full that the path was completely submerged in several places. The "puddles" were very extensive and so deep that I wouldn't have dared to go through them on my bike😨

Today we went from Erlenstegen along the Tiefgraben to Weißensee and back through the woods. Nothing is blooming yet, everything is still in hibernation. But the wild nature is beautiful.
