June 9, 2025,Dörperhöhe, Eierkaal, Voßhagen, Kräwi

Nice walk: Dörperhöhe to Eierkaal, Voßhagen Peace Chapel with the cemetery for 44 Russian forced laborers from World War II (well hidden, no one talks about it). Back to Kräwi amusement park, not too busy due to the somewhat overcast weather.

There was plenty to snap, so here are a few photos.
