First of all, thank you to @Nordlicht for the inspiration.

Unfortunately Komoot didn't play along today and interrupted the tour at Auensee. So there are 2 tours today.

It started at the wildlife park in Leipzig Connewitz. As soon as you enter the park, the smell of garlic hits your nose... wild garlic as far as the eye …
