A nice tour to the Gibensdorfer Horn under a local guide with @Bruno B.. Finally, a short relaxation tour around the Klingnau reservoir with Aargau's cultural hot spots. The temperatures were summery - 25 degrees and this in October! 👍

Started in relatively cool weather and, above all, with sunshine. Unfortunately, the clouds didn't take long to appear 🥴. Luckily, the clouds kept their moisture until I had finished the round 😉.

We went down to the Limmat valley via the Quellenstorfer Horn. Then along the Aare to the Klingnau reservoir and back again. Met the "Gümmeler" professionals 🚲 by chance on the way. You were on lap 5 of the Grand Prix of the Canton of Aargau race.

Again the day was too short... The beginning of the twilight into the coming night... Short round, with caressing summer air, in between with the intense scent of the blooming trees, with birdsong mixed with the clattering of frogs...
Slowly time to fall into my dreams... Good night... 💫🌟🌙🌟💫
